Please stop hiding miqo'te ears (and other races') from certain head gear

[Granyala]

Those helmet ears are merely cosmetic.

In Battle, the last thing you'd want is protrusions on your your helmet, where any weapon would get caught and be able to transfer the kinetic energy of the swing directly to your neck.

I'd be a fudging death sentence.

So if we Miqo's are able to flatten our ears to the extent of fitting them snugly into a "round" helmet, such armor would be a lot more realistic and safer.

This only works for some jobs anyway. I usually am very favorable to arguments of verisimilitude, but I'm literally painting my enemies to death while wearing a dress.
I want my ears and my tail showing.

I don't play the game for realism though. Have you seen how impractical some of the armor and weapons are?
This is a jrpg.

Also. no one knows how armor for a race with cat ears and tail would be designed.
Them sticking out could be just as dangerous as them being so tugged in it gets uncomfortable.

If we're going for "realistic structure" I would imagine it to be more dome shaped on the outside with internal space for the ears. But that's only if you're going for absolute protection and not looks.

Plus there are plenty of hats where the hat provides no protection and it's all about the aesthetics and comfort.

Yes I was mainly talking about tank gear that has classical helmets.

Naturally this does not apply to a wizard hat made of cloth or civilian clothing.
