Miss aligned structures in old Sharlayan

WHY.

On a more serious note, does this kind of lack of modeling oversight happen frequently in XIV? I recall seeing the Gunblade relic had a poorly mapped texture, but beyond that I don't recall seeing any other gaffs.

It's actually quite common - I remember the infamous floating bottle in Pearl Lane in Ul'dah for instance that remained unfixed for years until it quietly was in a patch (there was a bottle that was meant to be lying on the ground in Pearl Lane but actually was not positioned right and so it looked like it was floating just above the ground instead, with it's shadow clearly giving it away, it was pretty jarring if you knew what to look for - it even showed up in a trailer video SE released prior to ARR's launch, one of the 'Tour of Eorzea' videos).

A similar misaligned object was a book that was part buried in the mantlepiece of the fireplace inside the tavern at the Observatorium in Coerthas Central Highlands, but unlike the floating bottle I don't think that was ever fixed alas. So unfortunately I don't hold out much hope that this oversight would be fixed either, especially given the volume of new modelling work needed to correct it.
