Clipping

I was happy to see a positive official response to this thread about clipping (leg through armor):
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...yn-Graphic-Bug

I remember people trying to point out issues like this in alpha and beta and getting a response along the lines of "we're not going to do anything about it." So I'm glad to see that was a misinterpretation or someone changed their mind. Anyway, here are a few quick examples of obvious clipping:

1. A unicorn's mane clips with the same unicorn's ear. At least when my Roegadyn male friend rides one. I suspect all unicorns.
2. My leg goes through my Pinga leatherworking table. The leg itself. Doesn't matter what I'm wearing. Hyur female.
3. The aprons for the Armorer and Blacksmith level 50 chest armor clip through the level 50 crafting tables.
4. Most hair styles clip with my Valor Coronet, so I just turn head armor off as Paladin.

I'm sure others could provide many additional examples.

Armor of Light is the worst and I doubt they'll change it.

BLM relic + BLM hat...

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

The issue with Roegadyn females isn't a clipping issue (or what I'd call clipping). The best we can hope for is for future gear to not have clipping issues, but I dont think they consider that a priority.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for clipping, aside from maybe some of the hair issues (there was a thread about one of manthra hairstyles clipping into the neck a while back). There's a lot on the devs plate and I think clipping issues are relatively far down on the priority list at the moment. Maybe in the future, hell maybe DX11 will fix some of it (I certainly wouldn't expect it to though).

WHM Relic + AF1/AF1.5 is pretty bad too because of the hood. Wish we could /visor it up.

Not gonna happen, during Beta we were told to "deal with it" basically. It's part of the 'low collision' system they went with. When they removed a lot of collision during 1.0 > 1.23 the clipping started to get worse. This is the only MMO I seen with clipping as bad as it gets..even XI didn't have SEVERE clipping since everything scaled/deformed properly per race/gender, so when you did get clipping it wasn't too terrible.
