[Request] Please hide the tail for costume-type body suits.

Howdy

Yes this is one of those threads where we request a glamour QoL change in the game. I would like to request that the tail for Miqote, Au'ra, and Hrothgar be hidden when wearing the “costumes.” More specifically the Chocobo suit, Reindeer suit, Vanu Vanu body, and Zundu body. It has been requested repeatedly over the years as shown by these threads:

It's self explanatory as to why I and other players would want the tail to be hidden. So why aren't tails hidden for the suits I mentioned above? :confused: The tail is already hidden when wearing certain pieces like the Werewolf body, DRG AF gear, Pig suit, and the Snowman suit. I know it can be done and that the “hide tail” flag is attached to the body piece.

Suits with visible tail.
Suits with invisible tail.
(I don't have footage of the snowman suit.)

Perhaps we can have a “tail toggle” option like these players have suggested so everyone's happy.

Can we please finally make it happen guys?
A side note: I hope the new frog suit hides the tail...

TL;DR
Glamours like the chocobo suit and reindeer suit look bad on tailed races since the tail pokes out the butt of the suit. Please hide the tail for suits like these.

Come on, I can’t be the only one who wants this.
(Aka shameless bump)

I'd rather see them re-introduce tail armor and make our tails look like they were considered in the outfit's tailoring instead of them dismembering us. :T
(Also am I the only one who likes the ear pockets? Hats without them look SO uncomfortable!)

At first, I didn't get it. Tailed folk should embrace their tails.~ Even if it means getting it lopped off mid-battle because there's no real protection for it. (No, I kid.) I honestly like my tail showing. (Edit: seconding the one above me. Tail armour would be neat but not necessary imo. Would sooner see other changes than that.)

But not for the Chocobo suit... Looks like he's defecating. XDD Nooot entirely appropriate looking. I don't have the suit myself and couldn't find a screenshot of a Miqo'te wearing the suit, but I don't recall seeing a tail poking out of it at any point... so, I wonder if it's a graphics thing they accidentally overlooked. Does seem a little odd.

Exactly that’s why I’m asking for certain suits. Not all pieces of armor. Btw there’s a miqote screenshot in the 3rd link I provided. (Warning can’t unsee)

Can you imagine trying to stuff your tail inside one of those suits? Talk about painful!

We manage to do it with the pig suit.

I was wondering if perhaps SE could optionally add a tail belt toggle, like helmet and visor toggle (and saves in the glamour plates). Like Saiyans or sometimes Zidane does:

So you have a tail, and you can see it, but it's more like an extra belt.

Also tail armor again would be neat :3

Yeah it was a thing during 1.0.

Armor like this would be ideal for new armor moving forward. I also like Shougun's idea.
However it wouldn't work for the costume suits I pointed out that have their own "tail."

Level 80 MSQ spoiler:

The Crystal Exarch/G'raha Tia is a Mi'qote but his tail doesn't show. A major npc hides their tail, it clearly doesn't disorient him lore wise.

In most of those costumes it should be more than enough space to just tuck it away.

yes it would be nice if costumes hid tails

kinda gross seeing tail stick out of that chocobo suit butt

with Au ra the frog suit turns into a type of lizard if you dye it similar to your tail

It was always weird to me that the tail is hidden in the snowman suit (where it COULD actually hang out comfortably), but it pops out of the chocobo suit, despite there not being an opening. :3

But it wasn't hidden then it would be far more obvious who it is honestly. They gotta maintain some semblance of mystery, you know? :P

As for me I like having my tail out so I'd rather not have it tucked away, though I'm more than willing to make an exception for the chocobo suit because having the black Xaela tail makes it look like a long string of... *clears throat* Yeah.

Ohh how quick have we forgotten this beauty

That said, it would be nice, if done right.

PS: funny enough, Hroths don't have tails in that coat.

So I actually agree with your premise. I was a Miqo'te last expansion (and an Au'ra before that) and would prefer my tail be hidden (or at least have an option to hide it) on full-body costumes.

However, as a point of feedback for making posts like this?

This? Right here? This makes you sound like an entitled brat. Like you need to point out that you're a paying customer. Guess what, we're all paying customers. You actually can't post on this forum unless you have an active subscription. I used to work retail and nothing grated on my nerves more than someone demanding some kind of special treatment because they're a "paying customer." Like... yeah... cool bro, I eat food too. You're not special.

You actually have a good point to make here and it's a good topic to bring up because SE's been in that kind of mode lately. But there are ways to do it without sounding like they owe you something.

Ouch, When I first obtained that I literally winced in pain. I would use that if my tail could be free, not like it's stuffed in a sausage casing.

You know what, you're absolutely right. I was a bit annoyed at the time of my post and I now realize I really didn't need to include that. I'm actually cringing looking at what I typed now lol. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix that. Didn't mean to sound like that.

Actually the fact that tails can't be hidden is what's keeping me from switching to Hrothgar. The Chocobo Suit is my favorite body piece in the game, but the fact that tails just stick out of them is extremely off putting and makes me groan every time I see it happening. Giving a toggle to hide the tail in armour is a hell of a lot easier than it is to 'introduce tail armour', since there's tails for a few races, meaning multiple times they'd have to change the tail armour if they decided to go down that route.

Plus they're working on making head armour work for the new races, which I would say is safe to assume be very time consuming.

It's a shame they decided to ruin the reindeer/chocobo/frog outfits by having miqote tails look like a poop coming out the back. I have no idea why they wouldn't hide them.
