Could we have "tails" disabled on armor with capes? AT LEAST for the new PLD set?

They could still be tucked inside the armor and they wouldn't be chopped off.
I typically don't wear helmets that covers the whole face/ head but I am pretty sure there's loads of helmets Elezen can wear that doesn't make it obvious that they have elf ears.
The ears would simply be flattened inside the helmet it'd probably be rly uncomfortable but they're not rly chopped off, you can think of the tails the same way.

If you go back to ARR and up until about later Stormblood (i could be mistaken); tails and ears (even Elezen's) were accommodated at best and allowed to clip through at worse. At the very least during Shadowbringers began cost cutting (or time saving) by having hats turn off racial features.
Now they're doing it in Endwalker, and given the fact that the job gear at level 89 accommodates racial features and the moonmoon gear at 90 decides to clip said racial features off, i'd say that this is a choice they're making rather than it being necessity.

We should not be making excuses for Square-Enix (The multi-billion dollar company, if you forgot) as to why their cost and/or time cutting measures 'work'.
And, just because you seem to be really obsessing about this.. tucking what would essentially be an extension of one's spine into the pantleg of their armour would only not work, but i imagine excruciatingly painful.
