It's truly a crime. Â More hair options would be amazing.
I'm still trying to figure out why we wear sandals everywhere  tho.  xD
If this was ment in any seriousness, I think it's something to do with how the models are rigged. They are always in some kind of 'shoe' and unable to be rendered otherwise. The texture would stretch out and look weird over a foot mesh.
It bugs the hell out of me too, but like I said- pretty sure it's the model itself being a problem.
I know there is probably a really good reason for it, but I miss being able to go bare foot. Â I would love to see a pair of shoes in the game that lets you appear to be barefoot, but I don't know if that's possible.
Technically, there is. It's possible to make a 'barefoot' shoe. The problem is, it would have to equipable. Then you couldn't wear anything on the bottom, plus possible stretching textures and seams where the 'shoe' ends.
I strongly believe it's easier for the modelers to have a 'shoe' on at all times because of (coming full circle now) PS3. It's part shortcut, part hardware.
Unrelated, but related. I have reason to believe the Au Ra males use male Miqote bones for their rigging. It's eerily similar in the videos I've seen. I hope it changes, it's the only thing I don't like. Very bouncy and sort of out of place considering their frame is so large. If it is, again it would be a shortcut because they wouldn't have to build a new model completely.
At this rate, they are just really burly stretched out cats for the males. But I like to think there's some more than that. We'll see though.
