Option to hide ear socks (Miqo'te only)

[Lone-wolfe-02]

They never used to do this that much but pretty much all the new hats have them now, i prefer my ears showing :/

Yep, Lalafell and Elezan suffer from the ear socks, too.

An option to hide would be nice, but that would mean them just clipping through. Miqo'te all have the same ear model and size, so it's easier to model.

It might not be so easy for the other long eared races.

I'd prefer ear socks over just not having ears which is what a bunch of the new hats have now

[UnstablePersonality]

Yeah I'm saying as well that they should not hide ears either...looks just as dumb lol, like wtf do we do? lay our ears flat?

[Pompoen]

I also didn't know it did effect Elezen, never played as one.

Lalas also have to deal with this, pretty much like Iris said and we have the same problem that Arvid pointed out, the ear 'pouches' sometimes are bigger than your actual ear size. I don't like wearing helmets or hoods on my Lalas because of this, it looks ridiculous (same goes for when they were Miqo's, damn ear socks o)-< )

[Terrini]

Admittedly, Lalafell and Elezen get LESS ear socks than Miqo'te, but yes we still get them on any hats that fall down over the ears, it's very weird on armored helmets.



But it's a lot more work to make an exception because of the protrusion to show the ears than it is to make a basic addendum like this. I mean they stopped giving special attention to tails with gear too.

It depends.

On hoods I could get it though at the same time a hood with holes for your ears would to some extent undermine the value of wearing a hood ie. protection from the elements. Frozen ears would hurt.

As for helms, the Socks make a huge amount of sense. Wearing a traditional help with pointy ears just sticking through would just be asking for your ears to get sheared off by the first sword strike. Helms deflect as much as blunt stop and it would literally be like creating a guillotine for your ears every time you took a head hit. At least the socks offer some protection in that case.

Ear socks are one of my FAVORITE things in the game. They make me want to switch to cat so much sometimes. It's just the fierce plate armor with a cute twist is just so perfect.

[Shirai]

I have no qualms with having armor/cloth around the ears when it comes to helmets and robes, but seeing them on coifs does make me cringe a bit.

This option already exists in the game. It's called Hyur.
