Miqo'te Tail Coloring and possible Collaboration Events Suggestions

Hello Yoshida-san, SE FFXIV team, and fellow FFXIV players

I had a couple ideas I wanted to suggest to Yoshi-P and was wondering what the community thought. And maybe support if they agree.

1)
In the Character Creator, for Miqo'te. I would like to be able to change the tail option 2 to allow a highlight color? As you can see in the image below, Tail 4 lets you use your hair highlight colors to color the tips.

However, Tail 2 is just one solid color, if the character has black hair:

I am very fond of the Lion's tail look but would request it to be 2 toned like a few of the other tails. I know that a lion's tail is commonly dark on the end, but it would be nice to allow the tip not to be just black but follow one of the hair colors. I.e either the fluff at the end being the base/highlight color, then the length of the tail being the opposite. Especially since I do like the black hair, it would be nice to see a uniqueness in the tail, instead of just the solid black in the image above.

2)
During the Live Letter 81, Yoshida-san had asked the viewers to submit suggestions on possible collaborations in other countries outside of Japan and the US. I live in Canada, I thought of some collaboration promo ideas. Some ideas that I have that are unique to Canada: The Lay's Ketchup Chips, Nestle's Coffee Crisp Chocolate, Nestle's Smarties, Harvey's Fast Food Chain.

These are a couple things I would like to see in the game, and hope that the FFXIV Team will consider this. Also hoping that the FFXIV community feels the same.

Thanks everyone for your time and consideration.

All I want is a stripey tabby cat tail for my girl.

I read that as Miqo'te tail catching.

Agreed with the suggestion and Matrinka's comment: we need more options for tails, including being able to wear jewelry either as an option from the aesthetician/character creator menu or from gear.

Having the ability to control color and highlights better or more tail color/shape options would definitely be a step in the right direction.

They should let Miqos hold additional weapon with their tails and do more damage.

Maybe to themselves for trying to attempt something so silly.

Agreed. Would also love it if ear-tip spots weren't tied to specific hairstyles, and could likewise be customized with highlights.

Oh definitely an option that should be available. I'm sure there are plenty of Miqo's out there who would put that kind of tail on their character immediately. And following my request/suggestion. If the stripes and base color can be separated through highlight colors, that's just a win.

I'm still waiting on certain Miqo'te tails to not be made of 4 flat planes, instead of just being a proper 3D object. How did that get missed in the graphics update?

I would also love a two tone lion tail!

As much as I love coffee crisp, it's my favourite chocolate bar, sadly Nestle is an incredibly unethical company which is often boycotted. I wouldn't want FFXIV to get mixed up with them.

Harvey's tho. Ohhhh man. That would be incredible. It would be goodbye diet for me.

Yea the only reason my miqo'te never used that tail is cause I wanted the two toned tip :(

Company that can't even get hats working on two races it introduced 5 years ago: "Yeah, let us get right on custom tails"

I hope at some point they add magnets to change the fluffyness and allow both colors from the hair be used on the tail.

THEN on top of that add some cat-like patterns to the Miqote and Hrothgar, like points (eg siamese coloring where the color is dark on the ears and tail), spots, and stripes.

Canada unfortunately has the problem of ... Quebec. Most food collab stuff is usually not that hard to setup, but that's why we keep not getting collabs with like mountain dew and 7-11, because it's an entire extra level of headache to do any kind of giveaway, never mind having to make sure everything is in English and French. That's why usually "North America" wide contests exclude Quebec, because what they are , are US based, but many US products aren't sold in Canada as the same product. Like consider a collab with oh... Kraft Dinner. In Canada it's marketed as "KD". Mountain Dew, KFC, Taco Bell, are just barely present in Canada, with the latter disappearing. Not to mention certain brands are bottled differently in Western Canada from Eastern Canada. So one part of Canada might get the promo for an entire month and the rest of Canada gets it for one week (Which is what keeps happening with Dr.Pepper , a special flavor comes out, and it's available for like a week in grocery stores, and the only other way to get it is to get the 500ml bottles from the gas stations.)

Anyway. The type of cross-overs that would make the most sense would have to be a brand that is available everywhere in Canada. Like that Boba tea shop for North America, has almost no places in Western Canada. But that's a given since the only restaurant chains well known in Canada and the US are like Starbucks and McDonalds. So someone's always going to lose out. Products carried by grocery stores are probably a better bet, but I'd probably stick to Mountain Dew/Dr.Pepper since it's standard flavor is usually available. Trying to find any of the unique varieties of Mountain Dew, I've only ever seen at 7-11, and even stuff like the Baja Blast is only available randomly.
