During a brainstorm, I had a thought. Why is it Square Enix during the beginning of XIV was cautious about Miqo'te and Au'ras tails clipping with capes, but now they don't care? Now, they allow the tails to just poke through the capes no issue. But the thought of Viera ears clipping through hats, in their opinion, would be the most scandalous thing so they cut out hats entirely? Why not just let the community decide for themselves what they'd prefer, let's have a look at the reaper hood for example... It looks amazing, it doesn't look bad.

This is the LAST post I will add on this thread, still hoping a mod may see it/forward it to the correct person.
