The GPose Feature request megathread

Like my last megathread this is is centered on making requests for a non-combat related feature, this time its for the Group Pose feature.

And for that I feel like the first avenue would be expansion of two sub features, Stickers (Like for the Eorzean Alphabet, other minions and something like that the Boss intro text that appeared since Stormblood) and Filters

It would be nice to be able to select a skill from a list like emotes, since a lot of them require combat in order to do them at all (and ones like LB require very specific situations).

Also, more freedom of motion for the camera. Being locked to a target isn't great, and the amount you can pan the camera any one way is really restricted.

Animation scrubber.
I'm pretty ok with timing, but I'm kind of tired of trying to time my animation pauses to get to the frame I want to snapshot. It'd be nice to just scroll through a timeline for each character.
(though I'd prefer to be able to just manually pose characters like some modding tools do, but I understand the distrust SE would have with such tools.)

I must say that most of the things I wanted have been implemented, so I'm very happy with this camera system already and I have a lot of fun with it (>w<)
Still, if I might make some requests, here are some because dreaming costs no money:


-Select the time of the day and weather (I can't count how many screenshot sessions have been ruined because I had to leave gpose for a sec).

-Select my partner's emote, not just my own! This is the main reason why I always have to leave gpose for a moment, resulting in a huge change of weather and light. Alas, screenshot session tends to be ruined.

-I doubt this will be implemented, but being able to actually move the characters' X and Y would be super good. I've seen this done in Dragon Raja.

-Another thing I saw in Dragon Raja, an animatiom timeline, which you can pause, move forward or move backward.

Come to think of it, an auto rotating camera might also be a good idea for emulating Bad Wolfy's videos.

My main gpose asks would be:

• Animation scrubber - please, this pause/unpause game is so tiring
• Free camera - still in a confined area, just able to unlock from a target
• Let the photographer select animations for party members and/or friends if they have opted into allowing others to choose their poses in /gpose

An option like "Allow other players to freely animate my character in /gpose" would save so much time for everyone involved.

One thing I forgot. I would like special weather like the Diadem's to be use-able regardless of location. Skyboxes in all the colors are hard to come by and it would be very useful for color coded glamours

My ultimate desire would be to have a proper poser added in so that we don't need to go down the list of animations to find the right one for the right situation. However I also realize it's a pipe dream and VERY unlikely to happen, so instead I'll throw my hat into also asking for an animation scrubber as well as a few more filters to adjust the colors/contrast.

Combat actions and LBs, including removed actions or actions blocked via out-levelling them (like machinist's non-Heated attacks).

Adjustable time and weather, including special weather conditions like Tension (Odin's weather).

Ability to pose enemies in the shot, even if simple poses like attack animations.

I second the idea of having the ability to use combat actions - without needing to be in combat.
Honestly, lots of good requests in this thread - weather options, enemies to add in (without actual combat), allowing changes to other party members' emotes.
I'd also suggest the ability to put in alts from our account that are on the same data centre in the scene.

I'd like a flag to represent Hingashi and Garlemald. As well as the other major nations present in-game.

A gaelicat sticker would be neat, too.

Count me in as a vote for on-demand combat abilities. It's such a pain trying to find a nice area that also has enemies and then trying to make sure you kill them with the exact skill you want to use, plus I never get the chance to see LBs in gpose. Also the ability to enter gpose with a Performance instrument out could be fun, though I don't know how hard that'd be to implement spaghetti-code-wise... :rolleyes:

id like for enemies to not disappear when they are killed while ur in gpose T-T

An idea occured to me when I was messing with lighting, why not have the ability to save the hue and intensity settings to a list of a presets for later use?

We are currently setting up to do "family photos" in our FC, and I thought of some new things that would really help this process:

- As others have stated, the ability to pose others. This could be limited to party members, FC members, people on your friend list, or maybe everyone that's currently in a house/personal room. I realize things could get awkward if you could pose anyone.
- The ability to "refresh" the entire shot without exiting and entering GPose. By this I mean if someone new runs in to my shot (or moves slightly for a better visual) I can then refresh to capture the new players or altered locations. This could also potentially solve the above by just letting others in the photo (outside of GPose mode) change their pose, and then the photographer could just refresh/recapture.


The second idea came to mind because my wife is trying to set up so that she is the photographer by standing directly in the middle and hiding herself, and she really wants to be able to just stay in GPose mode with the lights and camera all set up. Fortunately, lighting and camera can be saved so that helps a bit. It would be a lightning fast process if she could just refresh/recapture each new group that gets up on the stage for a pic.

What's odd is GPose allows movement of other PCs in your GPose, but it's limited and I can't figure out how. We tested this in Gridania by starting GPose and we could watch other PCs run through the background of our shot and move freely about. I then ran far away from my wife, ungrouped with her, and she started GPose. I ran in to her shot, but I was not displayed? How did the game differentiate me from other PCs in Gridania?

Speaking of which I kinda want thereto e an option for saving lighting positions until you exit the zone, as opposed to resetting them the moment you step out of Gpose, either that or equipping items from your inventory/armory chest/gearset lists in Gpose and reverting back to what you work afterwards,but I think the former is an easier fix.
