Implementation of a "Tail Toggle"

[Nyalia]

Miqo'te Tails don't stick straight out, they point downward. If a costume has even the tiniest bit of extra space in the butt area, you can maneuver the tail after a certain point down one leg of the costume.

If your argument against hiding tails with certain gear, such as the Chocobo Suit, is that Miqo'te tails are shaped incorrectly to be hidden that way, you're just wrong. If you were right, there would be zero equipment in the game that hides the tail, but there are items that do hide it. I know, for one, that the Wolfseye Robe hides your tail and only the fake wolf tail is shown. Also, the Evenstar Coat? That can't be my tail, it's far too thin and permanently erect. That has to be a part of the coat itself (and someone's idea of a speciesist joke since they only put it on coats they give to Miqo'tes), and my real tail has to be hidden somewhere.

That's not my argument. Physically it would be possible, however Miqo'te are cat-like people. That tail is an extension of their spine and is essential for their balance. They'd be extremely uncomfortable (and noticeably more clumsy) if they stuffed their tail down a leg or something.
Try sticking your spine down the leg of your jeans later on and tell me how you like it :')

... are you suggesting that chocobo costumes are supposed to be comfortable? Err, have you ever worn one of those fully body mascot suits? I don't think comfort is a pre-requisite here XD

I think you're misunderstanding what I mean by comfort. A full-body mascot suit may be comfortable, but it doesn't completely gimp your ability to say, walk in a straight line without falling over. Animals have tails because those tails are essential for their balance, I can only assume that the Miqo'te are no exception to this. When I say they'd be extremely uncomfortable if they stuffed their tail away somewhere and couldn't use it properly, I don't mean they'd feel a bit constricted, I mean they'd probably feel like they'd lost a limb. If you've ever broken a limb and had it in a plaster cast, you can imagine the kind of discomfort I mean.

As I said earlier, it would really be nice if squeenix would come up with a way to fix the ridiculous clipping issues in some items without gimping the Miqo'te, but it probably won't happen. It'd be too big of an overhaul.
