    On the one hand I don't think they can just add the option (since they don't seem able to update character customisation at all) *BUT* I think it's actually already connected to individual costumes rather than the character settings. It's not used much, but there's the Evenstar Coat - whether you appreciate its approach or not, it's clearly deactivating the normal tail with the replacement built into the outfit.

    There's also the Exarch, who programming-wise is a standard Miqo'te NPC but doesn't have a visible tail, so I would guess that his robes have the same effect of making it not display. And Yugiri in her earliest masked appearance is also a Miqo'te with the tail replaced by an Auri tail, so perhaps that is achieved through the same method?

    If I'm speculating correctly and they can indeed link tail visibility to costumes, maybe they just need to do more of that where it's appropriate.

    Fun fact: Hrothgar tails actually disappear with the Evenstar coat equipped - no tail boner for us!

    While I do agree it's largely redundant, I have to also give validity to the claim that sometimes a tail does kinda kill the glamour and would be better without it, namely with the animal costumes. I mean, just look at it

    so apparently the only option that doesn't "stress the newbies" is either pressing 1211111111, or do nothing at all.
