The general lack of consideration in gear design for tails

[Naria]

In 1.0 my tail never clipped. At least not to this degree.

For me in 1.0 at launch my tail clipped with everything that wasn't skin tight. It was in a lot of ways worse than it is now. Even later as a whm there was actually a strip of the af skirt missing in the back in order to keep it from clipping for Miqo'te. One of the things they changed in the transition to 2.0 was where tails naturally hung and rested to try and cut down on clipping (they rest a little farther away from the body now). I agree that it is baffling that SE doesn't take ears/tails/horns into account at the design phase for gear (or hairstyles for that matter), but they never have so I don't have any real hope that they will change

Am I the only person on the face of Eorzea who genuinely isn't bothered with this whole clipping thing? O.o And I am a cat. Clipping is something that happens in nearly every game, atleast to some extend (as far as I know atleast). I don't know any better.

Clipping can and always will happen, but they have two tailed races (one with horns). It's not inexcusable that they don't design the gear with these races in mind but it is lazy; The phrase "measure twice, cut once" doesn't just apply to carpentry.

SQE has also shown that they can hide the tails on outfits that they want (such as the wolf body, that hides the miqo'te tail); So they can hide the tails on bigger robe outfits that would make clipping too unsightly.

Clipping isn't a big thing on itself, but it's a thing that a little extra time in design could make this not even a problem. Even if it's a "from this point forward" it'd be appreciated.

Obviously not, but others just move on and don't waste their time replying on threads they don't really care about. The forum doesn't have a disagree button, so devs will judge interest on a topic based on that. Tail clipping is and will stay a minority topic, and we all know that.

Remember the butt slider thread? Yeah, this is one of those threads.

The clipping in this game at time make me think SE is a 3rd rate DEV... Not a triple A DEV.
lots of things they do so good. other things aren't even a care. That's because MR Y, took over the game and got stuck with the RACES... and I don't think he cares about the race that has the highest population.

The SE name has always stood for questionable production value standards.
