Glamour option to remove tails

[Balmung_Griffin]

There is one. It's called Fantasia. Just make sure you select the race that's without a tail. Might be hard to miss with all these tailed races at the selection screen but I assure you, they exist.

What's wrong with have some option to hide tails?
So people asking for removing of gender specific clothes/hair, should just use a fantasia and select the opposite gender?

If that's the case, then what's the point in playing any of the tailed races? Clipping tails is just a tradeoff for playing one.

Just speaking personally, I was tempted to play a male au ra due to their general physique and wild hair options. Not a complaint as I am happy with my choice as a fem highlander, but for me it was more about the body size, structure and general posture/swagger of the male au ra that I liked.

The tail was the deciding factor on why I didn’t change.

I think it actually is a different level of request.

Unlocking the racial gear would ultimately just be adding more pieces of gear to the game - something they do regularly.

Adding a "hide tail" button would be adding an extra setting to the character display information that needs to be transmitted to other players, which they never do.

Also, tail display does currently seem to be controlled by equipped gear (I think specifically the chest piece), with a small number of pieces that hide the player's tail such as the Evenstar coat and presumably a certain NPC's outfit in Shadowbringers, and recently Alphinaud's outfit until they fixed it.

You know. Ignoring the cat ears and the cat facial features and each race’s distinct gestures and posture.

Tails can look horrible in some pieces (the animal suits that don’t hide them....why....) but not everyone minds. A toggle option would be a nice addition for those who do care. It doesn’t bother me personally but I don’t really see the issue with something like that being implemented.

Comparing these two is like saying a woman wanting to wear a man's shirt is like someone wanting their arm to be invisible.

You're not changing anything about the anatomy of your character by having access to certain clothing or hairstyles. Unless it's any of Minfilia's outfits (which entirely turned me off buying them but that's another topic on its own).

I'm not against making tails invisible, I just don't think it's similar to wanting access to more clothing and hairstyles. That said I am confused why someone would choose a race that has a prominent physical feature they dislike.

Because it's tall, big but not as big as a Roe and has bigger head than Elezen. I dislike the other races more than the one I picked. Would've picked Hyur if they were as tall.

What I don't understand is why would anyone be against this.. if you don't want to use it then it doesn't affect you. It's not like it's unrealistic either...when you wear something you can tuck the tail under the garment.

The development team designed a race with a certain look in mind. I would venture to say they aren't about to change it just because some would prefer that race without tails. You can ask but it's not going to happen. That's like asking them to remove ears from Viera or scales from Au-ra or ears from Cats.

That doesn't answer my question. You are not development team. Are you?

I gave my opinion about the option to have tails removed. You might not like my reply but it is what it is. They aren't going to remove tails from Aura nor should they. There are races without tails, horns or scales use them.
