An otpion to turn on helmet during some helmet-removing cutscenes?

[Gemina]

I love my Tamamo ears and it is part of how I see my character with. However, SE wants emotional cutscenes to be without helmet for the sake of showing WoL's facial expression and prevent weird situations with someone who like to don a rabbit/toad/moogle head.

Stop here. This expresses your frustration, understanding, and suggestion to rectify the issue perfectly.

The thing is, I don't see the point. You let everyone come into the cutscenes with whatever outfits of choice, from lore-appropriate gear to immersion-breaking skimpy bikini, or even as naked as far as Gobbert can approve. Why suddenly having helmet removed so important that you have to force it on players? Even if you remove a toad head, you can still see the toad costume.

Unfortunately you lose me with this statement. It contradicts the previous. You DO see the point, whether you want to accept it or not. The devs automatically remove the headgear for particularly poignant scenes during the MSQ, and you recognize that. Unfortunately, you can still get away with a toad costume or whatever because if they did the same thing with your gear, then you would just be naked (as close to as default CC goes anyway) in the scenes. This issue does not exist for the head slot, and this should not have to be spelled out to you.

The problem is not a deliberate jab to remove the identity you've established for your character. It's old code, and it's an old game. I agree it would be a nice option to allow players to choose, but there are much bigger fish to fry such as completing the CCs for Viera and Hrothgar.

A bit harsh dont you think? The OP bascially says that they remove our headgear because they want to show a certain emotion in a cutscene, yet that emotion can still be destroyed because a person is still wearing the rest of the silly costume. So if the problem is the old code why not simply let the cutscene play like they normally do? After all most cutscenes dont remove anything on you when you watch them, so them doing it, is a choice they made.

Just not do the choice. Anyone can then decide if they want to wear a helmet or not.
