"Hard" shadow on new event top? (female top)

So, I went on my alts and did the event, and noticed first on my Elezen that there is a distinct line going across her mid back while wearing the top. This line does not move or go away with light/shadow. I can only assume its a 'baked-in' shadow? Although it looks really weird when shes in an actual shadow with that still being darker.

It is a lot easier to see if you're walking or running forward; as these pictures can barely capture it.

Shows up on my Au Ra as well, who's back is in full sunlight in the pic.

I never knew that, shows how much I play on my alts heh. Oh well.

Yeah, it's the same with the Shisui gear sets and the Fair (Joi/Kohakama/Zori) set!...


It happens because the developers are lazy and decide to model the gear piece on top of the body directly, from the waist down in this case, instead of modeling the gear piece apart so when you change from a given piece of gear to the affected ones you are not really changing clothing bits only but entire body parts, the same happens with many feet pieces in the game, it's so cheap and looks horrible when done poorly!...


I hate the body models in this game, they have few polygons and that makes them look really bad, blocky knees, elbows, thighs, feet and pretty much every other body part!...
