Worst thing is that new armor looks really good without them. They just went extra mile to make sure most of them has capes which ruins whole armor. Even some crafted armor has buttcapes for some reason.

Also wtf are those rocks. Even if they looked good, they're once again terribly rigged. They don't float, they are just rigged to your characters back, so if you turn few degrees to one side, rocks just move half a meter, even though they should not move at all. It's just comical seeing people run with that wiggling rock armor. It would work if they levitated like weapons in NieR, but instead they look like something from cheap chinese MMORPG.
