Moonfaire Tail

[TheMightyMollusk]

Ideally, it would either have the tail sheathed or armored somehow to match the suit, or an option to toggle it on or off. But only headgear gets toggles. Sometimes.

If I were still a Miqo'te or Au Ra, I'd hate to have my tail cut off. It'd just feel wrong without it. But it's not like I was gonna use this suit anyway.

does the lack of tail thing apply to Au Ra as well?

all 3 betailed races yes.
They also did this the ff4 tome sets for half the jobs. the rydia and edward sets showed tail but not cecil/edge sets.

Boy, is Mao glads Mao nots waste times going for uglys suit!

It needs its own thread. This is downright embarrassing, no tails on the outfit? Are the devs serious? The art team is serious slacking, first the hats, now this.

It's like it's all designed for Hyur and nothing else.

Pathetic.

I was complaining about this when EW came out, but so many people were okay with it. When people accept mediocrity, you get mediocrity.

Unfortunately, it seems criticising this game means you're an asshole who hates it and must be shat on by everyone.

People don't stop for a single second to wonder why this might upset someone, I hate it because I love this game and want better from it.

If I HATED ff14 I would LOVE this change because it shows a decline in quality, I'd be congratulating Square on their laziness and "one step forward, two steps back."

Miqo'te and Au Ra are just treated as midlanders by the armor design team, and the Hrothgar as Roes. They don't actually put in the work to make gear that fits them.

Some ARR armors did actually acknowledged that tails exist, either by hiding the spot where the tail pops out from or adding an actual (although slightly misaligned) hole for the tail. But seems to have dropped off by the time HW rolled around.

Due to their laziness in designing gear, I rather have them just hide the tail than just have it clip with stuff constantly.

I've asked for a tail toggle a long time ago, some gear would look better without it, some with it, but this game only care about pandering to lalas.

Miqo'te ears have also been completely cut out from a lot of headgear since Stormblood.

New headpieces don't have holes for the ears to stick out or ear compartments for them to stick in as it used to be before. Think of the Calfskin Rider's Cap or the Street Cap. Those should be showing the ears sticking out.

In this expansion, tails being left out started with the Moonward outfit iirc and I sincerely hope it doesn't become a trend. If they think tails are best hidden in those cases, why not give us a toggle to show them or not? Same for the ears.

It is a trend, just something else. Longer patch cycles, less quality. They did start making some capes split and the clipping was less egregious. This tells me they have no intention of implementing some sort of toggle, or at the very least, they aren't trying. Of course, the split capes could have just been a coincidence, and nothing to do with them actually acknowledging tailed races.

Unfortunately, this will likely only continue.

For that matter, I do not think it is worth the cost of removing tails entirely, just because some people do not like their tail, or they do not like it showing on certain pieces. It is better to have it than not, regardless of clipping. In a perfect world, there would be a CAPE toggle - NOT a tail toggle - and/or the pieces would be created in a way to accommodate racial features. Especially considering, collectively, tailed races are the most populous in the playerbase.
