Suggestion for holding hands emote.

Hey guys I've been thinking about this for a while and I'm not sure if its possible but its the thought that counts.

You probably have a loved one or a close friend that you play with alot and even afk with in certain areas in eorzea. Like someone mentioned a leaning to a wall emote a while back wouldnt it be awesome to have a holding hands emote with someone you care about? I'm not even sure if it can be made possible. Holding hands doesnt always have to be compared automaticly to partner and love. Thats a western world thing we all know holding hands its just a bond in some cultures aswell and nothing more.

Anywho I would love to see that if it can be made possible. Not sure if it can tho.

The problem is they still haven't made multi person emotes, which makes things like /brofist, /hug, /embrace, etc. look a bit silly. They need to implement that system first before adding more multi person emotes.

A hold hands emote would be nice, but you also might need to stand incredibly close for it to look right like with /embrace and /hug :(.

They could try to make it a persistent emote though.

I'm ok with a persistant emote. I understand that a lalafell would have to raise their hand a bit more up than everyone else but I'm seeing i infront of me vision wise if its capable im not sure.

I am still waiting for a /kiss emote. Yes, you have the option to kiss the character that you will be taking the Eternal Bond with. But why just get one kiss? It should be something you can do when you and your partner want.

I want a high five emote!

YES, this! why can't we have a/kiss emote for EB partners?

That would be great but I think they'll never do sync emotes.

The problem with synched emotes is that characters of vastly different sizes will just look really weird doing it. Lalafells are the obvious outlier, but imagine a Viera and a Miqo'te, or a Roe and a Midlander, or a male and female Au Ra, trying to high five. It's really awkward.

I would love it if we had more emotes that had more player with player interaction. As long as it works more like the /hug emote and not the high five where most of the time you're just high fiving the air/foreheads/knee caps. Though having emotes that don't require timing would be nice, but since they can't even have our character giving hugs in cutscenes I don't have a huge amount of faith.

An emote to carry lalafells on our shoulders could be fun too :D

I would love both the hold hands and the kiss emote for couples who are bonded.

Would be pretty funny if they include that for lalafell. Maybe make "Follow" outside of battle within a party result in the piggyback.

There is a hug emote NPC couple in the Gold Saucer; I'm kind of surprised they never implemented that.

Destiny 2 comes to mind, where one player initiates the emote and goes into a small animation to prompt other players to engage in the emote, usually a little wave, as if to say "come over here". There is also a small, glowy blue area which designates where the other player(s) must stand. Once they do, they hold a button, and this locks them into whatever animation the emote uses. If it's a high-five, it's a high-five, and it looks pretty natural.

I wish FFXIV did something like that.

Thing is, height and race aren't a problem in Destiny 2, but I can see that being a bit of an issue in FFXIV, were they to implement something like that. I suppose they'd have to account for it somehow.

It could act as a follow where one person holds out their hand and another has to accept it. They then get led around by the person who first offered their hand. Kind of like Ico:

Or just stand still and like, hold hands I guess.

Uncensored hand holding!? SE would have to give this game an adults only rating if they did that! Seriously though I would love this to be a thing, it would be so cute! I wish there was a duo emote system, I never use fist bump cause it looks silly when you don't actually bump another fist.

I used to be on a MMO where you could 'embrace' (be held in another character's arms or carried around) and it depended on the races interacting but it worked, althought the poses were differents.

I think if they should ever implement that, they should also add a prompt that asks the other player if they are OK with embracing or not. I don't think it would be OK to force random players to do it, or at least reserve it to married couples perhaps.

I'd love such a thing, this is something I've thought about many times. The problem is not just creating a working combination for all the different races mixing and matching, but also something that can account the different heights. Sounds a bit hard, if not simply impossible ;

I approve of this popoto partner emote >:3

But yeah if they made a buddy emote system it'll be a good quality of life improvement in the game especially with player interactions :3

The Estinien looks like it would end badly, considering how many sharp edges are on his armor.
