    I'm amazed at how this game boils down to "I'd rather have a poorly done job than nothing at all."

    It's like... seriously?

    We paid for this game, there's a paid store within the game, there's a subscription fee for it, and if we want to store more items, we have to pay monthly... and yet, we have to bow our heads and accept the bare minimum or nothing?

    It wasn't by bowing our heads and accepting sloppy work that we got male Viera, female Hrothgar, improved faces in the benchmark, hairstyles for Viera and Hrothgar, the return of Hrothgar ears when they decided it would be easier just to remove them from the new hairstyles... among many other things that were only achieved due to popular pressure.

    This game used to be better cared for when it was just a gamble that could shut down in a few months, like many MMORPGs of that time, and now that it has become the most profitable in the FF franchise, they lower the quality? Honestly, I think we need to be much more critical of this.

    God I wish more people shared this sentiment. They got too comfortable getting the sub money and just don't try to put in the effort they used to. I didn't pay 9 years of sub for the good devs to get promoted onto other projects and leave this one with the rookie devs. The quality drop post EW and into DT has been disappointing to say the least.

    To be honest, I noticed the decline in quality since SHB, with unfinished races, the simplification of some jobs (and I even remember them ruining the bard, which only got fixed after a lot of complaints on the forum. I was even kicked out of a savage group to make room for a dancer). And everyone knows that Vieras and Hrothgars don't have feet, but they cut corners on that in this game too, or is it more like "I'd rather have my paws removed than not wear shoes"

    I made a post back then, saying I was worried about the direction things were going, especially when they added the finger snap emote and the Cruise Chaser mount to the Mogstation, two things a lot of people were asking for... and they did it again with the shadow keeper mount

    SHB was also when I started noticing that they frequently began removing ears and tails from the races. I know that the well-made items were brought over from 1.0, and that after the events that led to ARR they had to cut costs, which is why some items lost their details, but come on! That's in the past now, and they say FFXIV is the most profitable, so do better.

    I think you misunderstood what I said.

    I'd rather have actual effort put into showing our ears rather than just have them stick out of the mesh. If that isn't possible, I'd rather not see the ears poke through the hat because in my opinion that is UGLY. You're entitled to have your own opinion, I find it unsightly, either do it correctly, or not do it at all.

    You saying 'just show it guise' then quoting me is basically you saying:

    "I don't care if they poorly do it!!! LET IT STICK OUT!"

    Makes me wonder who is actually wanting a poorly done job here...?

    Sorry, I really misinterpreted that. I'll remove your quote there, as it was indeed my mistake.

    Both can be happy in this case, make it a toggle in the character menu to hide/show ears on all helmets
    I want my ears to always show even if its just clipping through a hat
    same with my tail
