New DRG armor tailed races feedback

Anyone notice how the Au Ra and Miqo'te do not have their own tail in the new DRG armor. It makes no sense to stuff your own tail into the armor somehow and have one that is attached to the armor. Since we have our own tails on these 2 races those should be shown on the armor.

Some of the Au Ra have pretty big tails and stuffing that in a suit of plate armor doesn't make sense.

aesthetics-wise I think it looks nicer this way.

Cant talk for au ra but looks like tail armor for us.

A player made a thread asking for miqo'te tail to not show in some gear due to not liking how it looked like:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-a-Tail-Toggle
And as well as less revealing clothing for female's AF

SE simply did what was asked.

Doubt it was anything so far reaching. Other Heavenwards outfits from the Benchmark show Miqote and Auri tails normally. Confident this is just the specific armor design choice.

I don't like it. Not just the tail, either - what's with these weird things at the hips? Way oversized and clipping through your own hands in a neutral stance already!

This is the smallest Au Ra tail. There are two fatter looking ones and one spikey skinny one. But does it look like you can stuff that in a suit of armor ? Stuff it down one of legs ?

Its no different than when Miqote tails were stuffed into those ridiculous Evenstar tail slots, except of course the new DRG AF tails look much better.

I'm kind of disappointed so far. I was hoping them adding another race with a tail might mean they'd get their act together making gear that looks okay with a tail.

Guess this is as good as it's gonna get. :(

I really hope they fix the armor so that races that already have a tail can use their own tail in the armor and races that don't can use the artificial one.

Uh... you guys noticed that all races get the tail in the DRG AF2 right? The Tail is part of the armor, period.

Your very perceptive observation does not address the issue the thread is about, however. Races who don't have a tail can have an artificial tail dangling from their armor, no problem. But if it's as thin as this one, it makes no sense to be worn by a race with an actual, thicker tail. Where does the tail go? It can't be stuffed into the artificial one, so it just disappears? Makes no sense and looks bad.

I think the bigger concern is for the tail-less races. Could you imagine how uncomfortable your life would suddenly be if you had a 2 foot long shard of metal shooting out from the back of your waist? The armor was designed from the get-go for looks rather than functionality. My only real problem is that it just makes your tail stiff. I think it would have looked better overall if, at least for the case of the tailed races, that it was made out of the same fold-able scales like the skin-tight scale-mail you're already wearing to show that it can still at-least move in the thing.

To tail or not to tail. Reroll on Hyur and problem solved. SE just wanna sells. People like horny races and little bad but good monsters so they created the AuRa. AuRa are already a hit even before their release. SE will deal or will not deal at all with clipping issues of horns and tails later. Once you have a tail you can't hide it. I'm laughing at people who choose to play with cat people but dislike how their tail is visible. Same for the AuRa. If you choose to play as one it means you like their horns and their tales. Either armour the tail itself or leave it outside of the armour exposed. Those huge tails cannot simply vanish or hide. They are here to stay.

Maybe your character can do the Saiyan tail belt thing?

Sounds like you're misunderstanding what this thread is about. The very purpose of this thread is to point out that both Miqo'te and Au Ra tails would never fit in that DRG armor fake-tail. So the armor is doing exactly what you say cannot happen - it makes the tail vanish and replaces it with a fake armored one.

Community complained about two-tailed gears already. See bunny gear and reindeer gear on Miqo'te

The DRG AF2 is the only gear in the benchmark that would turn into a two-tailed gear on Miqo'te and Au Ra.

I didn't mind 2 tails because it makes more sense.

The quickest fix for this is to have a "prevent tail clipping on costumes" tick box somewhere which would do something like the "hide the hat" on outfits only for costume-type of outfits. The reason why it doesn't exist currently likely has more to do with the tails on Miqo'te are part of the base model and would leave a "hole" in the base model if turned off.

Yes I'm aware, and? Again I doubt this is something so far reaching as to their answer to the 2-tails clipping issue. Confident this is just a specific armor design choice.

I thought this was pretty funny. Me dressed up in the chocobo outfit.

You are a Miqo'te dressing up in a chocobo outfit your tail just doesn't go away.

wrap it around your waist, just like goku do with his tail.

I never said there were 2 tails clipping issue with the drg af2. I even said I prefer the fact there is a static pointy tail back on page one.

They should just add a toggle option for Tails like there is for Hats.

No offense but Tail is part of the Miqo'te if anyone don't like it they should change the race,simple as that.

Personally I'd prefer to have the armour tail removed rather than the racial tail.

This is also a possibility, so long we don't have two tails where one tail clip through the other tail.

why wouldn't you want to protect your tail? doesn't sound fun to get it bit off.
if i had to stick an arm into a meat grinder, i'd rather use a mechanical arm, than my own.

Tail protection would be around the tail (see Evenstar gear), not a 2nd tail ^^

This is proof that SE should just ignore 90% of what the playerbase says.

playerbase: omg! tail clipping is so bad! look at chocobo suit, look at the bunny girl suit, the raindeer suit- and those are just the worst offenders!

SE: Here you go -hands DRGaf2-

playerbase: omg! why can't I see my tail as a Miqote and an Au Ra! What is this? The fake tail sucks!

---
The lack of x2 tail clipping on the drg af2 armor is a good thing. FFXIV needs less clipping.

I like my tail. I mean that's why I picked Miquote. Otherwise I would have picked some other race.

Why do people want it to go away? Just pick a different race then??

That set.... I wonder if Au'ra's tails will go up too. ;o

If we compare the DRG AF2 and the Evenstar. the DRG AF2 is 100% much more well done >_>. This just dont apply on miqote/aura, is on all races, is part of the desing of the Dragoon armor.
