Please fix dresses!

[Valmar]

Greetings,

When it comes to introducing new hairstyles and gear, we’ve been placing a lot of focus on creating diversity and our highest priority is to continue to introduce new varieties going forward.

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.

Greetings,

This is similar to what we said in the past, but I would like to reiterate it for those who may have missed it.

Fundamentally, we are prioritizing the introduction of equipment in a large variety of designs, regardless of whether or not they may have clipping issues or overlap with certain equipment or characters. Due to this, we will not be making any adjustments to the dresses. However, in extreme cases there may be instances where we will make changes.

Btw, I am rocking the Crescent Moon Nightgown as my tank body, and nothing compares to how dapper it makes me look.

Take a look at Camate's original Post, then Grekumah's Post.

Camate's Post comes off Cold, posting pretty much exactly what the Dev's told him, no more, no less.

While Grekumah pretty much does the same thing, but adds his own "flair" of compassion, then talks about this own Nightgown, Politely Mocking us that it looks fine on him, or that he doesn't care that it clips. In the end its just a Politically Correct way of saying, "The Dev's are not ever planning to fix this, nor will they try to make time to fix this."

I think I prefer Camate's Cold Hard Truth Answer which spares no feelings or tries to make us feel better about something that isn't going to happen, then to Grekumah's Politically Correct/Small Shred of hope Answer.

The fact that you have to reiterate this would suggest that the dev team should take the issue more seriously. What is the point of introducing new gear if it looks so terrible that you never want to use it...?

^ This.
I don't use my spring dress and some other gear AT ALL because it clips so badly. I avoid a lot of gear that clips with my character herself which limits my in game options for vanity.

While true, let's be honest:

People from 1.x when asked about ARR, instead of something like...making things better, like itemization - instead wanted them to release content and gear faster because they were tired of the "slow updates" during the push from 1.0 - 1.23. So in a way, players did ask for this.

That whole be careful what you wish for and such.

I'm sorry guys, but the rule of quality over quantity needs to be applied here. I don't care how many different designs you come up with if 90% of them also come with a bunch of goofy clipping issues.

Okay...it's time to drop this argument and move on.

No.

That is extremely disappointing.

However, keep expecting these issues to pop up along w/ the flat behind issue as well.
I'm not saying this to be difficult or hostile but these are the sort of things that upset players, many of which have grown up with the Final Fantasy brand.
Those players have come to expect certain things from SE and FF as a result. Those expectations include stuff like our feet and legs not clipping through every single robe/dress in the game, including the Crescent Moon Nightgown that you are so fond of. The clipping issues that the players keep bringing up on these forums are not small nit-picks.
The clipping that is brought up is obvious across the board and has an overall negative impact on the visual aesthetics of the game.

Riddle me this Batman- What is the point of introducing new equipment that has awesome designs if the equipment ends up looking bad when the players use it?

I would like to add that I am not saying the clipping issues in this game should be top priority but they also shouldn't be ignored completely.

Would be cool to increase the physics int eh game, sot he hair and clothes would bend and adapt to the other surfaces near them, I've seen this done in other games, and if I don't recall badly 1.0 had this.

yes and 1.0 was slow as balls

yes and 1.0 was slow as balls

It could be a toggle-able option, like I think it was in 1.0, so the people with less powerful machines don't struggle with performance.

What's wrong with adding options and improvements to the game? Even more if it's former self already had them.
