Please fix Filibuster's Hood of Healing on Lalafells and Au Ras!

Hello!

Patch 3.5 added the Filibuster gear that drops from the new level 60 dungeons. It's an awesome looking gear and I was looking forward to glamour it, but the Filibuster's Hood of Heling looks extremely weird when equipped:

It looks like my ears were cut off and someone sewed fake ones in the hood. A simple fix would be adding something like the Orison Hood's inner protection to the Filibuster's Hood.

This would make the gear look SO MUCH better on lalafells and elezens (and other pointy-eared races).

Now to the Au Ras... How is this okay?

Again, the solution would be doing the same as the Orison Hood: make the sides of the Filibuster's Hood of Healing closer to the face, so Au Ra horns won't clip.

Please devs take a look at this! I think it's not a lot of work to fix, especially for a pretty sweet and original set of gear like this.

Welcome to clipping fantasy xiv.

I doubt they will change the hood at all. Then people would expect them to fix the hundreds of other things that clip. Their stance is usually "we'd rather focus on making new gear than go back to fix old gear".

This is why Au Ras are bad for the game.

But this is not "old gear". If they are focusing on creating more gear that clips, they should really reavaluate their work.

It's old in that they already finished making it.

They've been creating new gear that clips since the launch of 2.0 when they decided to stop making different versions for different races and just give us the hyur model.

Most medium hair clips through high collars, all long hair clips with something (I think there was a femroe style that clipped into their own bodies), robes and tank butt-curtains clip with tails, big weapons clip through big hats.

I'm not trying to argue that it's fine, I wish they would stop making things that clip and fix things that do, but I don't think they will. I don't think it's a high priority for them or most of the players.

lol What identity? We're all just clones of each other, and without the name you can't tell who it is. :confused:

Sounds like you're trying to trick OP into giving the identity away. Don't give in OP! Keep those eyes blocked.

Suddenly i'm reminded one of the main reasons why i simply find an Au ra unplayable.

Because the Au Ra is not my character, someone else posted that screenshot on Reddit a few days ago.

But if they managed to find a way and created the Orison Hood (that looks good on both au ras and lalafells), why didn't they use the same principle when creating the Filibuster's Hood?

Seriously the Au Ra clipping is the worst I have seen in this game so far, just cut away the horns for those hoods.
The blm hood looks just as awful with the horns. Unwearable.

You'll come to understand that clipping is a natural occurrence of the Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward world. If you think the hood is trippy? The garo helms completely hide Au Ra horns. They just suddenly.....Vanish....

Ah, well I support your idea. When I someday create an Au Ra I don't want this to happen.

Maybe they have multiple gear designers. Or maybe the orison hood looking good was a happy accident.

Yep the whole reason I don't show my head slot or glamour glasses instead

This is why Flea Traps are unplayable to me.

It's absurd, I've always hated the ear pockets and wished they'd either let ears poke through or be tucked in, depending on the hat. Then Aura come along and get to tuck their horns in or have them poke through despite it looking like absolute nonsense in both cases.

The devs simply realized no one actually displays hats and hoods anyways, so they stopped trying with them :rolleyes:

That's not a really good excuse.
