suggestion: add a hide tail option to the character window)

I'd prefer it if for things like the chocobo suits they hide the tails for those special outfits only instead of letting the races with tails hide it for all gear. ... But why hide the tail anyway if you already wear a really goofy costume? Having a tail doesn't really make it any less goofy.

There's also the Exarch, who programming-wise is a standard Miqo'te NPC but doesn't have a visible tail, so I would guess that his robes have the same effect of making it not display.

Oh, I always thought his Exarch model is based on a Hyur, because he has those default Hyur animations.

I can't comment on the animations from memory, though I don't remember him doing anything I recognised as a Hyur emote, but it's possible they just used custom animations for him like they did for Emet-Selch. (I didn't even realise until I looked up the character data that Emet uses an Elezen base - kind of obvious in hindsight from the proportions, but he doesn't pose like one and I don't think he used any of their standard emotes. Not the obvious ones anyway.)

Anyway, the Exarch is definitely a Miqo'te NPC even if you can't see it. You can look up his character data to confirm it (spoiler), and none of the other human-proportioned male character models are that short.

But maybe the wrong kind of goofy. I agree they should just automatically hide it on those particular outfits.
