A "hide tails" option for Miqo'te and Au'ra characters?

[347SPECTRE]

In stead of hiding the tail, why not tail armor that matches the chest/leg armor that meshes rather than clips.

[Mirch]

the reason we play with au'ra or miqo'te is to see that tail pierce those unbreakable metal pants

Honestly, if you are solely bothered by the tail clipping through gear and not everything else that also clips, you're not making much of a good argument and sound more or less like a hypocrite.

If you're bothered by the tail clipping, then you should be bothered by your feet, hands, arms, hair, legs, and everything else under Thal's Balls clipping like crazy.

It's a poor argument to be bothered by the tail clipping and then just ignore all of the other issues that causes clipping just because it doesn't fit OP's narrative.

Furthermore, I've never seen one game where it didn't have a clipping issue.

Well, I never stated I was SOLEY BOTHERED by the tail clipping. However, this topic is about tails. I added my thoughts on how laughable the clipping is on tails. Do you really want my FULL thoughts on clipping in general?

Yes, I think SE is incredibly lazy and deserves any and all criticism they receive when it comes to clipping. Hair styles are awful. Tails are the worst. Hands, as mentioned, can be just as bad. I find SE to take the easy path in many places with this game, and clipping is one of them.

If you want to imply people are hypocrites simply because they are sticking to the topic at-hand and not elaborating on everything else, have at it.

Also, I never claimed there was a game WITHOUT clipping. I stated that XI, XIV's predecessor, designed gear specifically for mithra and galka to account for tails.

Perhaps try reading and reacting to what a person actually says instead of making up your own little story.

If you picked a race on character-select that has obvious identity traits -- be it tails, horns, weird skin colours, long-necks etc -- it is not up to the developers to fix that blemish for you when it doesn't appeal to you versus certain gear.

Counter point:
If the developers insist on releasing races with tails and non-human ears they should design gear that, at the bare minimum, fits those identity traits.

@multiple people: "You don't pick a tailed race to hide the tail."

I can think of a lot of reasons to pick miqo or au ra that have nothing to do with the tails.

@multiple people: "You can't dislike tail clipping when everything else clips!"

Hair, hands, whatever clipping through the body occasionally doesn't bother me at all. Heck, the tail clipping doesn't "bother" me, but I would like to see it worked better for capes/armor (like arr did, RIP) but SE is lazy and we know that won't happen.

@multiple people: "The devs have better things to do than waste time on this!"

Irrelevant, this is a forum to discuss the game that we all pay for and everyone is free to use it to that end.

I mean, the better solution would be for them to rework gear to accommodate tails, so I can see why people might question the need for this "feature". It'd be better to fix the problem at its source instead of applying some bandaid fix.

I completely agree with you. I just think it's more likely to receive a quick and easy fix (assuming it got any at all) than fixing all the old gear unfortunately, but a miqo can dream.

Can't you see that this option is the solution to FINALLY get rid of the limitations for anticlipping development? With that, the development team can deliver to us MUCH more varieties of glamour.

I will not change my race, because I don't like the other ones, being the hair or faces. Let's make the game for everyone by including options. Nobody should be forced to change a lot of things because of simple quality of life such as hide tail.

I did read your post and replied with other points after addressing and refuting some of your other main points. I'm not going to bother talking about what XI did because I didn't play XI and frankly, it's tiring how often we have to keep comparing XIV and XI all of the time, and almost boast XI up on this pedestal as an excuse as to why this or that needs to be done sometimes.

This isn't XI, it's XIV. What the developers did then may or may not ever happen now.

Perhaps try responding rationally rather than emotionally since the more you ad hominem and shout at a person, the less inclined they are to even care about your own opinions or what you have to say.

Stop looking to be offended after every turn just because another person doesn't agree with you. Using the word "If" does not mean that anything is implied to you directly. That's the whole reason of the word "if", "if" you did think that.

Take a chill pill and don't respond with an attitude when I never even gave you one.
