More /emotes please =^.^=

I think adding more /emote's "especially ones that mimic talking" would be great..
and make it alot easier to make our own lil custom movies of adventures we have =^.^=

/riverdance

Make it happen, SE

Before more emotes I want <call> commands, seriously that'd help a lot in parties.

We have like, 80 emotes? And they add more every few patches or so. I think we're fine in that department. The best emote already exists in game.

</airquotes>

yes <call> would be great ^^.. and add moogle sounds :P

I'd love more emotes. Sometimes i'll /typesomething and then realize there is no emote for that, or nothing that quite fits what i was after. One i enjoyed in another game (forgetting which one) was /ponder. When you did it at someone you would "You ponder the meaning of XPersonsX existence" Loved it. And if the animation would lean forward and put place your chin on your hand as you gazed at someone it would be perfect. (At least for Hyur Female)

I think the other addition Emotes neads besides a TOn more of them is a real good system for using them. I know SE said they want to put them on quick slots. But as a once apon a time roleplayer, theres just not enough slots to be able to shoot off emotes with good timing.

I'd like to see some Quickslot grouping. Where you can link Emotes of your choice to a Quickslot, which would open up a 1-9 choice of the emote you added to it.

For instance say your most used emotes were /chuckle /sulk /angry. You toggle those 3 as Emote-#1. Put Emote#1 on your quickslot.

By pressing that quickslot you get a Emote quickslot. Press 1 for /chuckle, 2 for /sulk 3/ angry. Once the emote is used, expanded QS disappears. That way folks could have a Emote QS button and their combat skills and such available. If so i think people would emote more often if they don't have to switch their Quickslots alot to huge lists.

Would also be helpful if the Emote Quickslot put on the screen what they are in full type. Also by being able to customize and assign emotes you can add what you use the most.

I would Also like to see some additional versions of current emotes. /think has a "Deep thought" description sent to chat, if there was a /think2 with the same animation but a different message. Perhaps "You think over what you've learned"
Or if targeting someone "You ponder what "Person" has just said." SE could save on animation costs but also give us some additional choices so we can emote more directly to the very reason we're emoting.

If all that made sense. Damn i wish i was good with photo shop and stuff. would make this alot easier to describe with pictures.

ones for making movies and skits.. ones that make you look like your talking.. that would make making video's alot better.
I have made 2 fan video's so far .. came out pretty good :P, hope u liked em...
the cutscene replay is awesome .. that and talking emotes we could do a great many styles of skits.. funny.. battle..
and the like.. so many ideas i have would be enhanced with talking type emotes

How about the nyan-nyan emote?

I clicked the Like button for your post so hard I think I broke my mouse. The internet really needs tactile input.

If WoW can have the caramelldansen, then SE should give us the Nyan-nyan dance! Nyan nyan nyan nyan nihao nyan...

I need them for my boostu macros.

I would like to see partner emotes, things you can do with another person when they give permission for it
eg. pick up (do you want to allow ''person" to pick you up?) >yes/no
/drama (Do you want to act dramatic with "person") >yes/no
/highfive (Do you want to high five "person") >yes/no
/shake (Do you want to allow "person" to shake you?) >yes/no

lol shake... with standard size people by the shoulders but roe to lala might be odd... *pick up and shake* hahaha

and such...

Bring back </slap> and </sigh>... And please </grovel> introduce </airquotes> .... </facepalm>

I'd really like to see a lot of the emotes be redone.
The Lalafell M wave, for example, is horrible. It's too much I can't even bring myself to do it when it should be one of the most frequently used emotes in the game.

It looks i'm trying to flag down a rescue helicopter after being trapped on a deserted island for years.
And the Galka and Hume emotes are just horrible.

More serious, dignified emotes please...

y no /smile?

They took out /slap because it was too hardcore for the casual audience.

/grin /sigh /slap and maybe one day varying /dances

/slap with Moogle weapon equiped... audible sound and stars... give it to us... lol

Well you can never have enough emotes to use, which is why we will be introducing yet another new one in patch 1.23:

/tebow!
KIDDING, KIDDING! We will be adding "/pray" :)
http://static.finalfantasyxiv.com/to.../44/4883_0.bmp

http://static.finalfantasyxiv.com/to.../44/4883_1.png

I also hear that they just might be adding another new emote with the upcoming summer event, so please look forward the event!

I shall now always think of that emote as Tebow! Thanks for the update Camate! :D Can't wait to see the possible new emotes for summer!!

tebow just went mainstream!
http://static7.businessinsider.com/i...o-tebowing.jpg

/pray is nice! :)


Too many times in the game I've wanted access to /facepalm, /sigh, or /slap.

Other ideas:

/stare (tilts head slightly and gives a rather intent look)
/hunger (grabs/pats stomach and frowns)
/disgust ("talk to the hand" and turns head away)
/idea (smiles, snaps finger/pounds fist into hand, has a brilliant thought)
/me (points to self)
/mhcheck (holds and examines equipped weapon or tool)
/hcover (raises or lowers visor or hood - for WHM, WAR and DRG AF)
/hot (wipes sweat off of forehead)
/cold (wraps arms around self and shivers)

I miss snowball... gimmmie back snowball!!!! anyway

I'd like more interactive emotes actually..

Lalafel able to hitch rides on roegadyn's shoulders
or hyurs able to carry miqo'te, lala and hyur females (elezen ladies are too tall for them lol)

/pray looks pretty good (Just like healing in FFXI)
must take awhile to animate those emotes if we only get like, 1 every few months

It doesn't take awhile to mocap and attach it to models, it's mostly they have emotes on a lower priority than other stuff with who's left on 1.x dev team. You rarely see MMOs adding even seasonal based emotes in updates so it's nice amongst everything else to make it a carbon copy of a standard MMO, they're doing something somewhat unique.

(Newer MMOs do add emotes overtime usually when they have nothing left to add though.)

/pray? ...You sure you don't mean /heal, /logout or /shutdown?

Nope, it's clearly /tebow even though XI beat everyone to it :3

It's amazing how some people in this thread are asking for emotes that already exist.

Haha, the Hyur is Tebowing and the Lalafell is Bradying

That's hilarious.

no there was no real /boner emote though i think that happens whenever they read patch notes and they like them <_<>_>

and Addicted I just want them to give snowball back they took it away *cries*

The emote I miss the most is /smile. I would really like that one back (from XI).

I've also always wanted /annoyed

Irl I sometimes say "slash annoyed".

Now I can finally respect Halone in ways that don't include just bloodshed.

Just feel like I have to say this again in this thread, cause we have a comrep in here.

Multi-character emotes such as:

/highfive
/brofist
/hug
/kiss

Two characters would actually "physically" (as physical as 3D polygons can be, anyway) interact while doing these, as long as the characters did them "on" the other person within 5 seconds of each others.

And please add /slap, multi-character or not, I just want it back :<.

And how about /smile and /toss.

Eclipse Haven smiles warmly at Keith Dragoon.

Yes can we also get variety of dances, maybe some that are not so race specific... poor Elezen >.>;; Also would be nice if the /dance lasted longer and had more variety to the steps.

I miss the ones from XI they had a lot of spunk!!!

I miss the standard emotes but new ones are good.

And for non emotes:

<call> would be great! Please add calls. Loved them, miss them, need them. Haha.

Please do not add calls again :<.

And if you do, at least let us turn down the volume of them without having to mute all other sound effects in the game. We couldn't do that in ff11. In fact, they would stay at full volume even if you turned down both effects and bgm volume from within the game.

I think they were wanting to re-add calls if the 2.0 chat system will be able to support it.
