Chocobo Emotes Anyone?

I would love it if SE would give our chocobos a little more personality. In FFXI whenever a Dragoon performed an emote his wyvern would join in and it was super cute. Would anybody else want their chocobo to do this?

As an example for those who never played FFXI here is a short video of the wyvern reacting to /blush.

Well guess the obvious one would be the chicken dance.

I wish I could tell my choco to lie down, it would be great for RPing and serene screenshots. I have already seen NPC chocos lying down so they already have the animation made for it.

When the chocobo is dismissed it rears up and flaps it's wings, that might be a nice emote to accompany /cheer or /huzzah.

They also have a little butt shaking, feather ruffling animation for when they get excited, I'm sure that could be used for something.

Chocobo emotes would be cute, +1. Different idle/attack animations would be awesome too in different stances.

I was about to ask if it was just me, or do choco's randomly do excited animations, but you just answered it for me :3. I love it when they do that, it's freaking adorable.

Deffo a +1 here. I'd love this too. If not their own emotes, just have them react to ours. Like if we cheer they could jump for joy. We dance, they dance etc.

Would be nice if we can use emots on them similar to minions. Better yet, give them some idle animation! For example: preening themselves, walking around you, sit, or scratching the ground.

Love the preening idea.

It's also a happy greeting animation for them, particularly with choco porter chocobos.

Now THATS something I didn't know! That's really awesome

I would like it if when you /pet your chocobo he would nuzzle or cuddle with you.
Right now he doesn't even notice.

I also think that if you /slap him he should either bite or peck you.

This right here is what we need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d81qFaoe010

I agree Doctor.

I wouldn't mind a dance emote for them - they could perform the dance the chocobos do in FF7 in the choco ranch

And if they could tweet the music from that dance even better.

Reactionary emotes (you target them and do an emote) would be awesome. I especially like the dance and sit ones. I definitely want to stage a chocobo dance party.

Yes.

Yesyesyes.
