Legitimate Concern - the Au Ra & Clipping

[Felis]

I think the horns will work like the Miqo'te ears.
Holes in the headpieces for the horns or a horn replacement on the headpiece while the actual horn is blended out. Also how the horns look it would be only a problem with full face headpieces or headpieces that also cover the sides of the head.

As an example there seem to be no horn clipping with the Astologian Hat, what we can see in the Asrologian video.

Get used to clipping. It's amazing how the Crystal Tools engine, that isn't suited for MMOs, handles clipping better than an engine strictly designed for one game. Look at FFXIII/XIII-2 (pay attention to sarah's and Yule's hair movement) and notice how..it actually reacts to objects and body parts properly rather than forgetting it exist like in ARR.

There is already a great deal of clipping in the game currently. For instance my Mi'qote is being stabbed through the face with that shoulder piece from mnks sold body. Same goes for Au Ra. I think most of it wont be an issue but I'm sure a significant amount will make it through to the expansion. Just my opinion.

To be honest, I'm not worried about it too much. The helmets will likely work similar to the way they do for Miqo'te or maybe they won't give Au'Ra helmets and they will get bands or decorations for their horns, though that seems unlikely.

Yeah that would take actual attention to detail and care for clipping...highly doubt they'll do it. The only reason it does it for Miqote and Elezen and Lalafell is because in 1.0 it already did it, so them reusing 1.x's asset gave them the benefit of the doubt basically. So unless they're overhauling the graphics system, expect massive clipping So far it didn't clip with Yugiri because she's a mannequin as the actual race doesn't exist model wise in XIV yet (so they can create one unique set of armor to properly mold around her.)

It's just super ugly. Considering the cost of the extension, you might think that developers mock us...

the clipping doesnt bother, it's just that the horns just look weird in a most head gear in my oppinion
