Moonfaire Tail

[SturmChurro]

It needs its own thread. This is downright embarrassing, no tails on the outfit? Are the devs serious? The art team is serious slacking, first the hats, now this.

It's like it's all designed for Hyur and nothing else.

Pathetic.

I was complaining about this when EW came out, but so many people were okay with it. When people accept mediocrity, you get mediocrity.

Unfortunately, it seems criticising this game means you're an asshole who hates it and must be shat on by everyone.

People don't stop for a single second to wonder why this might upset someone, I hate it because I love this game and want better from it.

If I HATED ff14 I would LOVE this change because it shows a decline in quality, I'd be congratulating Square on their laziness and "one step forward, two steps back."

Miqo'te and Au Ra are just treated as midlanders by the armor design team, and the Hrothgar as Roes. They don't actually put in the work to make gear that fits them.

Some ARR armors did actually acknowledged that tails exist, either by hiding the spot where the tail pops out from or adding an actual (although slightly misaligned) hole for the tail. But seems to have dropped off by the time HW rolled around.

Due to their laziness in designing gear, I rather have them just hide the tail than just have it clip with stuff constantly.

Nevermind the tail, but can somebody explain how mutilated Hrothgar's snout must be for them to wear the actual helm? Its like that closed helm Skyrim Khajiit thing all over again.

I've asked for a tail toggle a long time ago, some gear would look better without it, some with it, but this game only care about pandering to lalas.

Miqo'te ears have also been completely cut out from a lot of headgear since Stormblood.

New headpieces don't have holes for the ears to stick out or ear compartments for them to stick in as it used to be before. Think of the Calfskin Rider's Cap or the Street Cap. Those should be showing the ears sticking out.

In this expansion, tails being left out started with the Moonward outfit iirc and I sincerely hope it doesn't become a trend. If they think tails are best hidden in those cases, why not give us a toggle to show them or not? Same for the ears.

It is a trend, just something else. Longer patch cycles, less quality. They did start making some capes split and the clipping was less egregious. This tells me they have no intention of implementing some sort of toggle, or at the very least, they aren't trying. Of course, the split capes could have just been a coincidence, and nothing to do with them actually acknowledging tailed races.

Unfortunately, this will likely only continue.

For that matter, I do not think it is worth the cost of removing tails entirely, just because some people do not like their tail, or they do not like it showing on certain pieces. It is better to have it than not, regardless of clipping. In a perfect world, there would be a CAPE toggle - NOT a tail toggle - and/or the pieces would be created in a way to accommodate racial features. Especially considering, collectively, tailed races are the most populous in the playerbase.

I would even say that we should have both types of toggle: cape and tail.

The second one is at least extremely easy to implement. It's obvious that they're not too bothered when tails clip through gear all the time, so it's still a bit strange that they decide to remove them in those cases. It requires zero effort on their part to add both the tail and a possible future toggle (a bit more for this one since they'd have to make it work in their system).

But this also reminds me of a suggestion I posed some time ago (here) to add more toggle options for gear in general.

So while adding a cape toggle or a chestpiece toggle could require more effort on their part, I hope they end up doing it. Quality reduction cannot be justified anymore in an MMO as big as this one and it's not like we're asking for impossible things. It reminds me of how easily happy and satisfied the player base can get when getting the bare minimum that should have been there already (e. g. two dyes or more furnishing slots).

Guys please stop making these suggestions they're a small indie company...

I like the outfit though...
