[Request] Stop removing belts off of pants and other gear when paired with a skirt

[Aniya_Estlihn]

This has been a glaring issue for a very, very long time and it's now come to a head with the new glamour skirt added in this patch. Currently, if a shirt or top go barely past the waist, all details from the waist to the pelvis are removed from the gear.

With the new skirt added in 4.3, it entirely removes the skirt and leaves us with thigh highs and a pair of panties, preventing us from using the top with anything other than a swimsuit or anything that doesn't go past the waist.

This issue has been brought up before and we were told that the function was working intended, well frankly it never has from a player standpoint, as many of these interesting pants options are completely ruined by this nonsensical culling of belts and adornments near or below the waist. This makes it very hard to create a glamour around those piece as parts that would look good when paired with other pieces will often times remove the lovely details that the item team worked so hard to model.

Just a few of the MANY pants that currently do this to my knowledge:

Gryphoskin Pantalettes
Hemiskin Trousers of Scouting
Artisan Cluottes
Yafaemi Trousers of Casting/Healing
Midan Breeches of Fending
Quaintrelle's Ruffled Skirt
Tafetta Loincloth
PLD AF3
BLM AF3

Among many, many others.

This needs to be changed going forward if items like the Quaintrelle's Ruffled Skirt are going to be added. There is no excuse for the belts being removed from any piece of gear, be it clipping or other lackluster reasoning and it's time that a stop is put to it.

We would like to be able to use the gear as is without fear of the item losing key details that make it unique.

I'm putting this post out here in hopes that it can be forward to the dev team and they can take into consideration how annoying this is, and has been. And Ican only hope that they'll consider changing, or outright doing away with this odd design choice—removing belts, skirts and other details—we want belts on our pants!

That skirt disappointed me the same way I've disappointed my parents.

[Cupcakesu]

Yeah. The way the Quaintrelle Skirt functions right now, it's essentially just another Bridesmaid's Tights. I have never been more disappointed in a glamour item.

[nysier]

Agreed, and pls stop using clipping as an excuse =/

This skirt makes me SO SAD when I found out you could use maybe like 4 tops with it aside from literal bikini tops. It wouldn't make as mad, except there are many shirts that CLEARLY show like, a 4 inch gap to the underwear part. Like, they wouldn't have touched it at all or clipped through anything so it's literally NOT an excuse. The top in your image and the scion jacket come to mind immediately. Plus the spring shirt, which PRIOR to this patch didn't clip stuff like that, now does. Why design the pretty thing if I can't wear it with anything?! If I wanted to wear panties and thigh highs I could use one of the SEVERAL existing ones like the Thavnairian or the bridesmaids ones. I want my dang ruffly skirt.

Maybe they could at least give us a /visor equivalent for skirts and pants.

I was looking forward to this glamour since they announced it, but this makes it not even worth bothering for. Not even going to waste time since it doesn't work with literally every top in my wardrobe.

I lost the top of my ninja shisui skirt belt under the spring shirt with the patch :/ Had to change my whole glamour.

[Pseudochrome]

with the new skirt, you might as well just use the bridesmaid tights. the only shirts that work with it have to cut off above the stomach, at which point it makes the skirt look like a tutu :/

I really hope they fix this issue, it is a problem.
