(Dev Request [Luxpheras, we need you!]) Please Can We Get A Tail Toggle?

[Luxyn]

A key thing to remember here with this toggle is we also have the weapon and headpiece ones. We literally pull our weapons out of thin air. Where do they go? Does it matter? It does not.
I agree the source of the problem is the clipping itself but SE simply aren't able to address that. There is a dev at SE who could have this toggle implemented in very little time considering the capabilities are already present and all that would need to be added is the UI element with the function for it. The toggle is more of a last resort but it is the only option that would work to eliminate the clipping without a ton of work for the devs.

I made a post long ago about an idea that weapons hidden with the toggle would make a small "summon" effect when drawn, like we use magic to summon the weapon.

That would be pretty cool! Like the keyblade in KH or Noctis in XV. =P

I'd be down for a tail toggle. I'm not fussed about the tail most days, but I agree that it does look pretty bad with some armor. Male tails are far worse due to the curve.

Two biggest offenders for me would be the chocobo suit, as posted earlier, and the BLM body (with the curved tail).

Honestly, who thought this looked OK?


They've hidden the tail before as well. Why couldn't they have gone that route with some other items as well?

I don't like the idea of hitting a button to turn off your tail. If you play a race with a tail it should always be shown.

Logic behind this being? =/

[SokiYagami]

yeah...but where does the tail go then?

Wrap around the hip saiyan-style maybe? :x

[Warlyx]

<yes, please>

You can edit your original post. that way you ignore the limit of how much you can write.

I learned something today lol, ty.

For gear with own tail on it, just ask for a gear tail toogle, /geartail or something like that.
Remove the bunny tail from the bunny costume and the Chocobo tail from the Chocobo costume.

Could prolly make a tail toggle easier than than removing gear traits or making gear specific icon.

Just adjusting the position of the male Miqo'te tails, so they're centered rather than held off to one side would fix probably 95% or more of the clipping issues, and without changing the defining feature that makes Miqo'te who they are. I'd far prefer that solution over removing the tail.

I LIKE MY FLOOF TO CURL THO :C

You picked a weapon that is bulky and ugly, you can hide it or show it.

You have a gross ugly helmet but don't wanna lose the stats to not wear it, so they added show/hide for it.

Gauss barrel is bad looking on nearly every gun, you can hide/show it now.....

Having a tail that is already hiding in your clothes by clipping through damn near everything though? Why wouldn't you want a toggle for that? That'd be like making Au Ra horns still show in helmets... do you know how awkward it'd look to wear the Drachen helmet with giant horns bursting out of the sides for no apparent reason? It's as awkward as that certain someone being masked, having a tail still showing, and the mask clearly isn't int he shape of a face because of the horns. Meanwhile, some gear actually already hides the tail as it should, and who says you can't be a miqo'te without a tail? I'm sure someone's had their tail cut off one way or another in FF14's history/lore somehow or in some way.

What bothers me more is that there's a fairly obvious place for tails to come out on some gear, and because of this weird little side-leaning male miqo tail, it instead misses the obvious area and clips through like, the coiled rope on the lv51 gatherer gear or something.

I don't think I'd use it personally, but I do support the option being available if they're going to keep being lazy with gear design for tailed races.
