Paladin Armor and Tails

Can we have at least some sort of split up in half cape/cloak instead of having our tail stick through the cloak from the lvl70 pld armor.

surely that cant be that much work to redo the texture :P

It looks weird :P

Lazy designers are lazy.

In 1.0 a lot of gear was designed differently for Miqo'te's but again 1.0 had more thought with finer details than what we have now, so yea.

I agree that the tails do look so funny with a cape on the back XD. For Miqo'te and Au'ra, the developers can look at how the capes sit on Draenei and Tauren in WoW. It might not be perfect fit for FFXIV look, but it's an idea the designers can use to make them look good in this game.

Haha in that same picture the Draenei's tail is clipping through his tabard.

/hidetail

Really all we need, and makes perfect sense for 90% of the glamour the tail is a problem for.

You know why mi'qote tails stick out from almost everything? WoL magic!

Cheers,

nooooo :P i like my tail ^^

hide cape would be better :D

It's funny how they keep making gear not thinking about how it fits all the races, those with tails mostly.
Miqo'te is one of the if not the most popular race, and yet they can't take it in consideration when creating gear.

Personally it's no game breaker, I just chose not to use gear with cape included to bypass the horrible clipping.
But I understand there are alot of people that care alot more than I do.

It's not that they don't think about it, it's that they don't *care*. They spent about 4 years avoiding capes like the plague specifically because of issues with clipping, textures, etc. and the playerbase kept begging for them despite those problems. So Square Enix is delivering on that demand, with the understanding that there will be issues like clipping and the such.

They tried really hard to not clip the tails in 1.x but that proved too costly. I'm not hiding or removing my tail, no way. If I have to make a choice, I'll wear clothing that does not interfere.

You think that's bad? It's bad if not worse on the (female) Healer gear. The strange thing is that it seems like the healer gear was made to have wider hips.

That said, also seems like every piece of gear's texture quality went down.
