Dark Knight Anibug: Floating Zweihanders, they look weird.

[Nektulos-Tuor]

There are a couple swords in the game that seem to float a bit above where they should be. I know all the models have their own code and animations since it seems that the other swords don't have this issue, but the models I am going to list all need to be moved down a bit, they just look a bit silly floating higher then they should.

I know I complain a lot, but I am actually very OCD and this kind of thing bothers me quite a lot.

The following weapons need fixed. I will list them all here for convenience. This also affects every "at least" male race. Even Miqo'te and Hyur, I will list some pictures here.

Weapons:
Skofnung
Adamantine Zweihander
Mythrite Zweihander
Wolf Zweihander
Cobalt Zweihander
Balisarde
Mythril Zweihander
Aetherial Mythril Zweihander
Steel Zweihander
Aetherial Steel Zweihander
Storm Private's Zweihander
Serpent Private's Zweihander
Flame Private's Zweihander

As you can see, they are all similar swords because I actually love this style to death. However it is probably the worst placed weapon in the game. The weapons literally float above the character's shoulder.


This bug fixes itself when you sit down, its only present when you stand up.

I think this is the ONLY weapon type in the game with this issue/problem. Please take a look at it!

TLR Version:

Issue:
The guard is way too high, clips through helmets and hair. Looks really bad.

How to fix:
Move the weapon and the weapon's guard down closer to the shoulder, it WILL not clip through the ground.

As seen here:

It has to be there, or else the sword would pierce through the ground.

No. I just pushed the image forward.



Plenty of room.

I can literally move it down where the other swords in the game are and they are not only longer then the Zweihanders they also barely pierce the ground. Moving this down to the shoulder would not. Even on the shortest races.

I'm having trouble seeing the issue here, it looks fine to me.

The guard floats above the shoulder. Although this is craptastic this is where it should be.



On most plate models, the guard is so high it sticks through the characters helmet, hair and face.

It is atrocious looking.

Well, since we're being anal here, I think the one on the Au Ra looks a lot more unbalanced than the one on the Miqo. It's just too left.

I know It seems anal, but it just looks stupid and clips through your hair and helmets 99% of the time. No other Dark Knight swords do this.

I am trying to do two issues: Solve my OCD and improve the game for everyone, especially people who have to look at atrocious things and bugs lol.

Just stand with your weapon unsheathed all the time.

OH WAIT you can't stand that stance either.

It helps to not be so nit-picky sometimes. This still doesn't really bother me, honestly.

Well, since I am always looking at my characters back. It bothers me a "lot". It looks stupid, and I consider FFXIV and the Developers very OCD about how things look in their universe and world. Imagine if Clouds Sword was sticking through his back. I am sure that doesn't bother some people, but it may bother the developers or other people.

The sword literally clips through my characters helmet and hair because of how high up the guard is. It clips through 70% of Au Ra hairstyles.

The stance and animations are alright, yes I don't like them but at least they don't look buggy.

THIS looks buggy and atrocious.

If there is clipping just turn the weapon off. All you gotta do IMO.
