It's even bleeding over into Miqo'te. So many hats since in the last few years just hide the ears entirely and it really bothers me. There's a mod out there called "Free The Cat Ears" on a certain website that fixes this for over 100 items and lets the ears show on hats where it makes sense to have them poke out, similar to the Viera Hats mod that just lets the ears clip through the hat.

It's funny how they act like it's a quality control issue when Au Ra horns clip through a bunch of head gear in a way that's ugly and makes no sense (I have an au ra alt and finding good headpieces for her can be a challenge) and yet they won't let Viera, Hrothgar, or now even Miqo'te ears clip through the hats when that looks better than hiding them anyway. No rhyme or reason to any of it.
