/smile emote

Almost too small a request to get its own thread.

I like how all of FFXIV's emotes are animated rather than text-only, but sometimes, a smile is worth more than a few words. Can we get this?

/smile /grin /slap

I miss them too :3

+1d ya

My facial 3d rig prevents me from making any exaggerated facial expressions besides nano-frown and micro-frown. It's the 3d equivalent of botox.

But I SO miss /slap it was awesome to point at enemies an npcs with it!

I miss /slap too. When moving from FFXI to FFXIV, I was thinking they might give us /slap with body emote as well, but nope. ; ;

I miss /slap more than anything, I think the reason it's not in the game is because it comes as disrespectful sometimes. Lol ;)

I'd like to see emotes like /highfive. lolz

I would like to see a "/thanks" emote, personally.

/bow is /thanks basically~

I agree on the smile, grin, slap, these should be added

*Seif slaps the thread

oh god see,it just works for everything!

SHYD NEED MORE EMOTES!!!!!!!!!!

Smile for Hyur females (I'm not sure about the other race/gender combinations) would be really easy to implement. All you would need to do is take the last few frames from the /pose emote.

This is sorda related I figured Id post in here to see what ya guys think. Wouldn't it be cool if you could have like a emote that you could just wear? Like say your really happy, and you want your character to be happy you type /happy. If your sad /sad. Or if your in a badmood /bmood or something like that? I really do like how the animations look while they are goin on but i think it would be really awesome if we could get our characters to wear a different "idle" expression. What do ya guys think??

I think that would be awesome to have, and even better to build on. Didn't matrix online go as far as changeable battle stances?

I wish there was a way to suggest that to the Devs, id love to be able to change the expression on my chars face, so its not just plan dull all the time.

Oh I love ur idea, my miqote looks like if she had a period 24/7

+1 for /slap emote!

I know they were super overly flashy, but does anyone remember PSU's emotes? xD

Please include a smile, "Roland smiles warmly at the ???" Heck, you don't even need an actual physical action right away, just program a basic text line for starters, then implement the programming.

Not just smile, but.. yes, basic expression emotes would be wonderful.

As would be the ability to lock certain emotes, like expressions and kneeling.

Sure, why not? I'm pushing for a much more formal in-game marriage feature as well. :)

You know you can still make custom emotes like xi right? /em smiles warmly at ???.
Make a macro for it, problem solved.

Well, sure. However, I want the real thing. I have many custom emotes made at this point. I think /console motion is my hug emote for my wife when she is around.

Maybe after the carnage of 2.0. I can see the Path Companions playing with all the arraingements.

Besides, there's something precious in seeing that love can survive and flourish even after the most harrowing of times.

Reminds me of the kiss scene in True Lies.

Dual player emotes, it can be done!

I agree... o.o /smile would be nice...so would /slap XD and most definitely /grin.

But ya know... I do wish that some of the description for the emotes we have in game now got changed. Some of them don't describe the emote at all. o o;;

I will say this as well... I'm glad that they're finally gonna enable /sit to be canceled out by moving. x.x;;

I want my slap emote from FFXI.

Oh yes, I went there.

why dont you use /emote (/em smiles at <t>)?
back in FFXI /smile memote was only a line w/o animation.
same for /slap.
end of story. ppl you are lazy.

I do, but that only works in one language at a time.

Unlike built-in emote commands, custom /emote sentences appear in the language you type it in. So it's slightly different. Or, extremely different, if you want to make people of other language, say, Japanese, understand what you're /emoting about.

They're mainly discussing about facial expression/body language.

If I do /emote smiles at <t>. now, my character still won't smile. I also said I was hoping for a real /slap motion. So it has nothing to do with laziness. We were talking about the real animation, not just the /emote text in chatlog.

Thumbs up on Elzen is pretty smiley.

I miss </sigh>... It was my favorite. =)
More or less... =/
I used it a lot, anyway. =P

Seriously was talking about that yesterday.. I miss the ability to just "smiles warmly at <t>"

Would be cool with emotes that react if the person also makes an emotion - so that you could make a combo.
For an example: /highfive

A duel rock, scissors, paper emote, now that would be cool!

I agree with Volsung. PSU had some of the most expressive over the top anime-style emotes. FFXIV's emotes are very.. reserved. I came from that game too and I was rather disappointed by how plain most of the emotes in this game are. Closest PSU-like emote I've seen is /psych on a Roegadyn.

I want /sigh. I want /sigh so I can /sigh at my friends and show them how dejected I feel!

/sigh...

The one thing I need is /slap. I don't even need an emote. I just want, for everytime I type /slap, to see the text instead of seeing "/slap" in blue text and me feeling like a failure.
