Give Miqo'te Lalafell's sitting positions please!...

You (SE) remember doing it once right!?...

Well, as it happens I'd love as a Miqo'te to have Lalafell's sitting positions, they are most cute and I feel we deserve them as well!...

Eat one and you gain their poses. That's what I heard anyway.

I prefer the Lalafell's sitting pose on ADS mount.

Be nice to get new emotes but personally I don't think different races should have the same ones. Differences are pretty neat in this game.

It wouldn't hurt the game because we already have sitting "emotes" from a single other race, Miqo'te has Au-Ra's, Au-Ra has Lalafell's, Lalafell has Au-Ra's, now give us Miqo'te Lalafell's to close the cycle!...

I don't know about other races!...

I'd like more unique poses rather than copied from others.

I'd like all poses to be available to everyone?

Please?

I prefer unique poses or more poses for everyone.

Sorry I don't agree... it's nice having emotes that are different. Making emotes generic would hurt the game in my view. I'd like to see more differences not less. I seriously doubt SE would agree with you after going to the trouble of making them different. Good luck.

I might add that I have 2 alts, one an AuRa, another a Miqo'te in addition to my main Hyur. I enjoy tremendously the fact that they are different and love to run though the emotes to see those differences.

I agree on that! I like having different animations to 'choose from', so you can customize your character and give them a semi-unique identity.

Except that without choice, that identity is pretty much enforced by the game. I see it a lot in roleplay, the people whose character's personality matches well with the ingame animations use them a lot while the others hardly use them at all and end up just standing there, making a detailed description of their body language instead - which is often an emote already in the game, just used by another gender or race.

But to be fair, I'm a miqo'te and I have never been able to actually sleep in a remotely comfortable position in any non-inn bed because of my race (nor have any comfortable sitting position up to the recent copypasta job), so I might be a little biased in that regard.

I prefer more the Male Miq'ote pose availiable for girls too. It is like a cat.

I'm an advocate of racial specific features in the game so I'd prefer the race specific styles of emotes to stay within those races and expanded upon instead of slowly homogenizing everything.

Actually, make it available for everyone. Such things exists in-game:

100% agree. Same with racial gear, we need more than one set and some underwear.

Um, freaking poses should not be bloody well specific to races.

The Hyur highlander Female basic Sit pose... That's kneeling! It should be available to everyone!

What if I want my Miqo'te to have a hearty guffaw like a Roe Male?

Or sit like a Lalafell cause she's in a good mood?

These barriers on POSES is dumb!

They absolutely should be. Racial traits can define personality more than what your role play aspects want to believe. Keeping them per-race keeps the individuality of a race.
We already have people asking for the racial gear to be unlocked, the gendered gear to be unlocked. The hairstyles to be unlocked. The eyebrows to be unlocked. There's outcries for homogenization in everything. No individuality will exist and your race ends up being absolutely more pointless than it already is.

Keep your nasty lalafells away from my pretty kitty people.

Exactly. It's a very effective method that gives personality and uniqueness to all the races. Just like the gear defines the aesthethic of the class. Uniqueness is good. More unique things for each class and race, less homogenization.

Indeed - Your post is an outcry for homogenization within the races for example.

I find the identity argument fairly weak, personally - we could remove glamour from the game because it takes away from the identity of the jobs, which is particularly true for pure glamour pieces that everyone can wear. It's ultimately the same argument, you restrict people's choices in order to preserve a certain identity at the cost of individuality of the player - but hey, if the players aren't, at least the jobs are individual. The same principle here.

I really see no value in it. It's not even immersive to have every single member of a race exhibit the same personality in their body language and NPCs not giving a flying F about the restriction doesn't help there. It's actually pretty immersion breaking. I can't wrap my head around the idea that having less options somehow homogenizes people less than more options either. It's like trying to press the square through the round hole - it just doesn't wanna fit.

You talk nonsense, emotes are natural movement representations that every single humanoid character can perform, they cannot be race exclusive because everyone else could do them if we weren't restricted!...

Besides that, all I'm asking for is Square Enix to give us Miqo'te Lalafell's sitting positions (emotes), races will not extinguish because of this!... :cool:

I'll tell you what... till every race and gender has their own battle animations and stances. Then Miqo'tes can have Lalafell sitting emotes.

I'd like a new /doze pose please.

While you feel it has little value and devalues the experience as a whole as you seem to put it.

I find the unique characteristics of each race assists players in identifying the character they want to play. I'll take FFXI as a example as it had a much more diversified set of animations and stances for each races mainly because each race had their own style they did everything from walking to casting to the way they held every weapon type in the game.

Elvaans for example from the regal Sandoria were a proud noble, if not outright snobbish race. Everything about them screamed those facets it gave them flair and fit the worlds lore. The world we knew of in Vanadiel was a a pretty compact universe so to speak so the whole race specific identities was very integral to the setting and characterization of the entire world. I felt more connected to my character because I liked how he was unique in ways that others were not. If everyone can do everything nobody is special sort of way.

Also in XIV it's not like the races are totally homogenized themselves either we do have several options within a race to vary the characters slightly while retaining their cultural identity such as sub-classes and several different idle animations.

I'd personally love to see the races expand upon their unique traits instead of being slowly stripped of them. Different folks for different folks I guess right?

I wouldn't mind seeing some new shared poses/positions introduced, but the fact that OP is very specifically asking for Lalafell emotes to be added only to Miqo'te smacks of a brand of special snowflake syndrome that just kinda makes me facepalm.

Pfft no. Somehow my reason fantasia from Highlander to Roegadyn is because Highlander pose is no longer unique like before. I can't brag the pose anymore after Hildebrand's quest comes like, when I do /pose, other replies with /hildy.

Call a single basic emote from 1.0 (everything that was ingame before /pose), that is shared between races

basic 1.0 emotes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHWT9jFndFw

I just want the tube top miqotes get, or hell a tube top in general. How come they literally get the only damn tube top in the game?

Too bad the gyphonskin top has sleeves, and I'm a highlander and don't get that nice little midlander top. TBH, I don't know what the fuck that...thing is that they give us.

I would like another doze pose on beds for Miqo'te and I would like the AuRa dance too!
