There are a couple swords in the game that seem to float a bit above where they should be. I know all the models have their own code and animations since it seems that the other swords don't have this issue, but the models I am going to list all need to be moved down a bit, they just look a bit silly floating higher then they should.
I know I complain a lot, but I am actually very OCD and this kind of thing bothers me quite a lot.
The following weapons need fixed. I will list them all here for convenience. This also affects every "at least" male race. Even Miqo'te and Hyur, I will list some pictures here.

Weapons:
Skofnung
Adamantine Zweihander
Mythrite Zweihander
Wolf Zweihander
Cobalt Zweihander
Balisarde
Mythril Zweihander
Aetherial Mythril Zweihander
Steel Zweihander
Aetherial Steel Zweihander
Storm Private's Zweihander
Serpent Private's Zweihander
Flame Private's Zweihander
As you can see, they are all similar swords because I actually love this style to death. However it is probably the worst placed weapon in the game. The weapons literally float above the character's shoulder.
This bug fixes itself when you sit down, its only present when you stand up.
I think this is the ONLY weapon type in the game with this issue/problem. Please take a look at it!

TL:DR Version:
Issue:
The guard is way too high, clips through helmets and hair. Looks really bad.
How to fix:
Move the weapon and the weapon's guard down closer to the shoulder, it WILL not clip through the ground.

It has to be there, or else the sword would pierce through the ground.

Plenty of room.
I can literally move it down where the other swords in the game are and they are not only longer then the Zweihanders they also barely pierce the ground. Moving this down to the shoulder would not. Even on the shortest races. -

I'm having trouble seeing the issue here, it looks fine to me.
-
03-10-2016, 04:18 AMNektulos-TuorThe guard floats above the shoulder. Although this is craptastic this is where it should be.Quote:

On most plate models, the guard is so high it sticks through the characters helmet, hair and face.
It is atrocious looking. -

Well, since we're being anal here, I think the one on the Au Ra looks a lot more unbalanced than the one on the Miqo. It's just too left.
-
03-10-2016, 04:21 AMNektulos-TuorI know It seems anal, but it just looks stupid and clips through your hair and helmets 99% of the time. No other Dark Knight swords do this.Quote:

Just stand with your weapon unsheathed all the time.
OH WAIT you can't stand that stance either.
It helps to not be so nit-picky sometimes. This still doesn't really bother me, honestly. -
03-10-2016, 04:42 AMNektulos-TuorWell, since I am always looking at my characters back. It bothers me a "lot". It looks stupid, and I consider FFXIV and the Developers very OCD about how things look in their universe and world. Imagine if Clouds Sword was sticking through his back. I am sure that doesn't bother some people, but it may bother the developers or other people.Quote:

The stance and animations are alright, yes I don't like them but at least they don't look buggy.
THIS looks buggy and atrocious. -

If there is clipping just turn the weapon off. All you gotta do IMO.
-
03-10-2016, 04:51 AMNektulos-TuorThat isn't an option for me because I also roleplay and like how the weapon looks on my back. As a plus, having no weapon on your back when your wearing plate armor looks extremely weird.Quote:

I'd rather the problem get fixed.
Plate Armored users feel so naked without weapons on their back lol
If I was a scholar or something with a small book or black mage or mage type character I could just say magic hides my staff or book. It also doesn't look as bad because robes usually have stuff on them. However, the greatsword on plate armor? No, it just looks stupid to not have a weapon when your armored to the teeth. -

The weapons already look silly because there's no sheath or anything. It's like they're held to our backs with magnets. I really don't see how this is better or worse than any other weapon. It feels like you're just looking for something else to complain about. :/
-
03-10-2016, 05:09 AMNektulos-TuorNo, this is a legitimate concern. I think if I posted this as anyone else I wouldn't have a problem but i'm trying to improve the darn game here. This looks atrocious and silly. Just like Darkside did. If I knew Japanese i'd put it on the Japanese forums.Quote:

Don't you want to make the game better? I DO. -
03-10-2016, 05:19 AMAshkendorMaybe your pictures don't demonstrate the problem very well then, because it doesn't seem like other people are seeing this as the massive problem you seem to think it is. This is no worse than any of the other clipping issues we have (and actually not nearly as bad as some that I've seen), so I'm not sure why this one in particular is supposed to be so darn important and require immediate fixing to "make the game better". This is really just a case where a style of sword you like clipping with hair and outfits you like, and for some reason this is supposed to be more important than any of the thousands of other clipping issues in the game. But hey, it's you, so of course you are making it into a way bigger deal than it actually is. Most of the threads I've seen you post are basically you making very big deals out of very small issues, which is largely why your threads receive the response that they do.Quote:

If I find something that bothers me too terribly, I glamour something else. -
03-10-2016, 05:36 AMNektulos-TuorThere is no other Zweihander in the game at the moment that does not do the same thing.Quote:

Especially when that improper placement is what is CAUSING the clipping issues. -

Really hope this gets looked at a bit. Can't stand these types of things.

I can't imagine the storm he'd cause if he saw how far from my back my glamoured shield floats when I play PLD.
-
03-11-2016, 04:27 AMNektulos-TuorWell, all weapons float. However at least its placed properly.Quote:
