Kensei Armor Glitch/Bug??

[King of Persia]

If you notice from the below screenshots, while sprinting with the Kensei Armor (fully upgraded), the 'fur' part of the Kensei armor feels like it's not sitting on the straw part and feels like there is an invisible object between them.

You can even see the 'indent' in the straw part where the fur is supposed to be sitting/filling.

The 3rd screenshot really shows how bad it is with the fur just aggressively protruding outwards then on top of this invisible object.

See below:

Anyone else experiencing this? Will this be fixed?

Honestly I just used a mod to remove the fur entirely, never liked how it looked to begin with and how... janky? it felt kind of just amplified that desire to remove it.

I know what you mean. I kind of like the fur cause it covers a lot of the straw (which i don't like when too much straw).

Couldn't you just change the appearance to make it the first upgrade look? without the fur?

Yeah, you can change the appearance level when selecting it, I just liked the coat... Would have gotten rid of the straw as well if the coat didn't look like a mess without anything covering it while in motion LOL

cloth physics in video games have been and still are clippy, non-newtonian aids

I'm going through the same issue. I HATE the way it looks when running, you almost look like you're trekking with a backpack on. There needs to be a mod addressing the cloth physics issues in this otherwise beautiful game. A few temporary "fixes" I found were to use Ryuzo's outfit for the Kensei armor, the straws there bounce way less and don't have that protruding problem. Another pleasant workaround is to use the Gosaku's helmet = it's "hair" actually flows nicely with the fur from Kensei armor and makes the whole look more suitable, but even then the running animation when wearing Kensei bother me

Yeah its annoying af. I know there's a mod that takes away the fur and the straw completely, but I like the look of it, it just needs better physics :/

Ya same, I love the Kensei look especially with the Autumn dye from NG+ but I can't seem to get past the running aniation. Btw, the Yharnam variant of this armor (from Iki Island) is wider with more straws and so actually looks less weird when running. I think the broader straws from Yharnam lean more into its overall heavier look and it actually is easier on the eyes, so you could use that variant if the protrusion problem bothers you. I am trying to build a red Kensei look so don't have a need for a black skin but if that's something that interests you, it's there LOOL
