Summoner Pet Emotes (Even if it's just Carbuncle)

With the concept of Minion interaction getting around a good bit now (There are quite a number of minions that you can use emotes with since it's release) would it be too much to ask if we could get SMN in on some of that action?

Now, I'm not talking about like, a /feed emote for our pets, though if they add things like this I wouldn't complain. No, I'm talking more about emote that your summoned pet does when you do specific emotes.

Take for instance, Victory pose and Battle pose. I really like the addition of these poses and I LOVE how animated and emotive they can be, but for SMN, why can't our pets do a jig, or have the Egi's play their Enkindle animation during it?

I know that with pet glamours coming, there would be a lot of work to do with all of the glamour pets, which is why in the title I just mention Carbuncle. He is EASILY the most pushed and out there SMN pet, with multiple furniture, color variants that fulfill different roles, minions AND plushies bring sold with the in game ones at one point.

So if they were to make this a thing, I would be entirely fine if Carbuncle was the only or first one to receive something like this. He is the first pet you get along your journey and the one most players make a connection with, and I for one am happy to have him back at my side.

P.S. I know others are going to bring up that Blade and Soul does this, and I know. It's one of the reasons I picked it up to try, but the thing that made me want to make this thread was a discussion in my server's Novice chat that started when a sprout asked if there were any kind of pet emotes in the game and it kicked off from there.

FF11 gave the dragoon wyverns emotes. It was so cute! They would /welcome with you which would make them do a backflip.

Don't forget that the Automatons also did the emotes (at least a few of them) that the Pup used too!

Assuming that carbuncles will be the 1st sets of egi glamour, then I'd want it to sit. Either via command or just as an idle pose since the animation for it already exist in game.

Carby -
Send her to rub up against another player/npc. /scratch emote
Give her cookies. /feed emote
When a player does a /panic emote, then she will jump in front in an attack pose.
When a player /slap another, then she will start biting that player.

Carby finds it dishonourable that you would call him a her O:

I would love this. Ifrit should do a roar emote when you do the victory pose emote.

This please! Then I can have that out with my baby coeurl and the paired cuteness would slay everything!

I never got too far into 11 before eventually stopping. Good to know that the devs for 11 put in the effort for small details like that.

They really should. That animation has been in game since 2.0(go to the basement of the acn guild). They also should just release emerald and topaz at the same time since all their data is already in-game, but they might just do emerald on 3.4 and topaz 3.5 because of some vague reason we don't know about.

I agree completely. I too feel a much stronger connection with my Carbuncle after being with it since the start of the game.

Well if they do that then hopefully they'll have the Ruby Carbuncle be the glamour for Ifrit. But yeah there's really no reason why they shouldn't just release them all at the same time in a set since their data already exists anyways.

Would rather have pet actions instead of glamour and fucking emote options.

Well, with the direction they seem to be going with SMN pets, not adding a new pet in the expansion and not even adding anything new with them. It would probably take a rework of either the pet system or how SMN works in general to even get those at this rate

God I hope they don't have a reason like that...
