Steps:
1. Equip Phantom Knuckles Penumbrae as the displayed weapon (either directly, or through glamour)
2. Equip a body piece that obscures the part of the arm (either left or right) where the weapon ends (i.e. around the bicep region)
3. Observe that it is possible to see directly through the arm, by looking upwards to where the weapon ends

The effect is most prominent when the body piece that is being clipped normally makes the arms look larger than they otherwise would appear.

(Using a thinner body piece makes the effect hard to see, but still present)

(Using a wider body piece makes the effect very noticeable)

I have only personally observed the glitch in-game with a Female Midlander Hyur, though a Reddit post by another player suggests it also appears on Female Miqo'te (and likely other races as well): https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...huge_clipping/
