Shields Sit Far From Roegadyn (Male) Back

Date & Time: As of December 30, 2017, but as far as I'm aware it was always like this.
Frequency: Ongoing
World name: Goblin
Character name: Brometheus Lux
Class/Level: PLD 63
Party or solo: Both
In-game time: Always
Area and coordinates: Anywhere

Steps:
1. Equip a shield. All the ones I've tried leave a big gap, but Maelstrom Escutcheon and High Steel Hoplon are good examples. The chest piece being worn makes little difference.
2. When unsheathed, some shields also float a fair ways above the wrist. Maelstrom Escutcheon is again a good example.
3. Distance varies by position. Worst on some mounts (White Lanner in screenshot).
