New Hairstyles and Clipping Issues

[Mardel]

You guys understand that there's not a single MMO out there that doesn't have clipping, right? It might not sound like much to you, but rendering the physics required for there to be little to no clipping for hair and armor would pretty much make the game unplayable on PS3 and lower end PCs, which I'm sure is the #1 reason the development team intelligently chose the way they did it. It just doesn't make sense from a marketing standpoint.

I think Tera did a great job to minimalize hair clipping. Whenever hairclipping would be in an issue the hair style changed to ensure clipping would not occur (primarily the back of the hair would be tied into a bun. Given the fact pants can be tucked into thigh high boots, gloves can be hidden on long robes, and things of that nature... why can't hair default to another style when "bad" clipping is to occur?



Also there are many hairstyle variations that could be added by using the bangs of different hair styles and tying the hair into a bun or a single ponytail that comes out a bit more to avoid clipping.

EX: The "twin tails" hairstyle. The front looks amazing and yet it isn't used to make a hairstyle that has a single ponytail in the back or hair tied into a cute bun. Hell there is another hairstyle that has the hair tied up for females and looks cool but the front looks awful, but hey it avoids clipping! If they made a variation of that using the front from the twintails it would look amazing.

The lightning hair with weathered brd body is horrible...sticks right out of the neck..

It's not just hair that is clipping.
There is clipping with just about everything....
Mind you, I'm not unreasonable. I realize that some clipping will occur.
I also realize that clipping isn't really a priority when compared to other things.
However, the clipping in this game is terrible- for all races.

What players want is that the glaring clipping issues are eventually addressed.
They don't have to be top priority but they should be addressed; slowly and over time.

Maybe it's the higher expectations I have of SE.
I dunno, the clipping doesn't bother me as much when I play f2p mmos...=\

We understand the concerns about gear and hairstyle clipping; however, if we were to stick to designs that ensure that there is no clipping then it would limit the types of equipment we were able to create. Due to this the development team has decided to continue putting the designs ahead of the concerns about clipping.

I guess my Lalafell will forever have armpit hair.

Add better physics and allow people to set it for their character only. Pretty much everyone only care about how their char looks so give them an option to push the limitations of their GFX card. I mean, if you guys (SE and community rep) want to boast about how beautiful this game look, then start pushing for higher standards. We all know that ARR performs great and look good even on low spec machines. Fine, now why not fine tune more graphic settings for the people with better specs?

Over focusing on graphical fidelity was one the main reasons 1.0 failed. Get over it they're going to focus on content > graphics that's just the way it is.

Ok, then why even bother wasting dev resource to make that pretty little ps4 version if we don't want to even set a standard. Why not force everyone to play at the lowest setting and dump all money into content development and have more ridiculous artifacts and clippings everywhere if we are going to be stickler to the cheesy reason that 1.0 failed, which in reality was more of gameplay issues and the fact that many of Tanaka's original ideas were executed poorly.

There are a bunch of things I know that Yoshi have sacrificed in order to make the game accessible to a bigger crowd + FF fans but this is just getting sad that they won't even consider tackling a basic issue that plague most games.

Please show the pic Miqote's armpit hair too, I think I saw one

Its looks hilarious as hell but I can't find anywhere lol

[Naunet]

this is the exact reason we didn't get long hairstyles in the first place, because people would complain about clipping

And it's why I'd like to see more short hairstyles! D: I always prefer those over long almost entirely because of the clipping issue.
