[SPOILER] Please let us use /gpose while transfigured.

Hello!

I'm happy than we can run around as some NPCs again at this year's All Saints' Wake event. It's fun doing emotes as other characters and seeing how they look like. ^^

But why can't we use /gpose while we are an NPC? If another player who is not transfigured activates /gpose, they see you as that NPC. But you yourself can't enter /gpose.

You can't even create nice screenshots without /gpose. How am I supposed to make funny pictures with Sadu and Magnai if I can't stop their movement during emotes and change the lighting?

I get that we can't draw our weapon and use abilities (but at the same time I don't get that either), but at least let us use /gpose for great screenshots. I mean, you gave us the ability to use emotes!

Oh, and while I'm at it: please let us also use /gpose while we're in this roleplay mode where we were playing as Alphinaud and Y'shtola.


Thank you for reading. ^^

This, a thousand times this. My Eorzean-City-State idol group (ECS for short) needs better promotional photos than just "turn off UI"! They need hearts and sparkles!

Gpose would be fantastic in there. I also need to drag someone in so I can get some shots of Magnai groveling while Sadu laughs at him lol.

This is my favourite thing. I stand around as Sadu and almost everyone that picks Magnai plays along - doting, /charmed, denial, doubting, and then lots of shadowboxing.

Haha nice! I only wish we could transform into Y'shtola so we could reenact a very important scene, but I'll take what I can get.

It's okay, Sadu is there to remind Magnai of it every second of every day.

Could you work around it by getting someone else to take the photos? You can focus on characters other than yourself, or use first-person mode.

I enjoyed making Kung Fu poses as Nanamo.

Come at me, Monetarists.

Would love for this to get a hot fix before the event is over, on being optimistic. But actually don't see this getting anywhere near in time so maybe expect it next year, if at all. Wouldn't mind being absolutely wrong though.

To be fair, Iscah is right - someone else who isn't transformed can /gpose you. It's just not as fun if you have to find a cameraman!

Yes, this works. My girlfriend is a gpose fanatic and I got to be her model while she took screenshots for the NPCs.

However, the one issue is that not all emotes work in gpose with these transformed forms even though they work outside of gpose. For example, she really wanted a picture of Nanamo doing /songbird, but no matter how much adjusting and retrying we did the emote didn't work. However all the facial expressions and base emotes (at least the ones that we tried) seem to work fine.

We already did that, but if my boyfriend and I would like to take some pictures together as NPCs, we would have to ask some random person to pose as one of them and do emotes. O.o
I'd also rather make my own pictures where I don't have to rely on someone else to have time for that.

Yes, I noticed that too. Songbird works just fine, but when someone goes into /gpose, the NPC doesn't do it. Why?

With emotes not working, I was a bit disappointed that the battle stance / victory pose emotes don't/can't work with the characters' proper class/weapon. That was the first thing I tried, and because the models we use when transfigured don't have weapons equipped, they just do the gladiator/paladin stance (also used for crafters or nonstandard weapons) without anything in their hands.

At least, that's what Kan-E does. I didn't try the others.

I assume they'd need weapons visibly equipped to make it work properly.

knowing this game there is probably some hilariously bad spaghetti code involved in this. aka "if we'd let you /gpose, the servers might crash and burn"

This! Sadu absolutely needs her blm laugh.

I support this. I need a pic of Nanamo Moonlift dancing in full Technicolor.
