The /emote Appreciation Thread

There are understandably alot of bad vibes lingering on the forums at the moment and it's often easy to forget what FFXIV does right! One of those things is without a doubt - /emote.

So with that in mind I thought it would be a nice idea to start a thread where we put aside our petty diffrences for a moment and take some time to appreciate the high quality models and animations in this game!

Who doesn't feel pumped up after a /psych? :mad:

OR feel cheered up by a Lalafell in full armour giving you a thumbs up? :D

Use this thread to show the world how truely awesome you look striking you favorite pose, in your favorite gear, in your favorite location.

And yes that does means I like sitting in bushes with Lalafells.

I miss /hurray :)

I want /sigh and /slap back. I also miss /hurray. Also the /dance macros are lame. They need to pick better dancers, tired of riverdance. The best dance is probably the male lalafell's "Don't break my heart, my achy breaky heart". I wanna see some breakdancing, pop and locking, electric slide, the duty wine, even the cabbage patch, or moonwalking. Something people can relate to and laugh about it. I also want to see some poses worthy of a picture like a power ranger pose or a karate kid crane style.

I miss /smile it wave very subtle and got the point across

Oh lemme add /highfive

Anything that the lalafells do in emote is cute! I love how they flap their arms whenever they laugh like this:

Very old picture...

/rockon would be cool to give the horns but lets look at what we do have! every race and sex has their own and some are brilliant. The male lalafell laugh never fails to make me smile.

Let's see some pics of you guys striking a pose.

Bring back the old /sit!




You know the one!

/sit is already in the game, what are you talking about? Makes me wonder if you actually play.

I think he maybe referring to the way mithra sat in FFXI

You're kidding right? Is this forum so riled jokes bounce off of it?

Edit: Pennywise gets a star!

The emotes are terrible in this game. They don't even match up with their descriptions. There's also about 6 different emotes to show anger.

Its obvious there was some sort of translation issue.

Would really like to see the emotes be overhauled.

Hey, you brought it up. I just couldn't disagree more with you.

On example (of many):
/fume = You look disappointed

Also would be nice to see more creative ones instead of 10 iterations of angry/upset etc.

Its really not that big of deal though. For now they are sufficient.

..I, too, like sitting in bushes with Lalafells.

That's not the SS I was looking for, but I do share the love for the emotes in FFXIV. The huge variety, the smooth animations, the attention to detail, the personality; it is all gravy to me! Some real top-knotch-second-to-none-calibur works they gave us to express ourselves in a plethora of different ways.

Though I am saddened that we are missing the /nod emote. I think /yes makes you nod, but it is just not the same.. not the same..

/nod was my trademark in XI and handled almost all of the delicate situations thrown at me. From accepting a simple party invite, to consoling a friend whos' dog just got hit by a minivan.

I am but a lost sheep without my /nod emote

Elezen /dance ftw!

If I could change emotes, I'd change cheer and salute. Salute for nation based salutes. And cheer for something like the "hahaha! Woooooo!" No one seems to tire of that.

Long time ago I made this.. u.u

The Elezen /dance is my fav, it's so funny like they really can't be bothered or something.

I would like it if they added more /dances though I miss my lively jig ^^

Also would be great if they added some kind of auto emotes that works if you typed something. So if you typed lol in chat then your character would start laughing, if you did ; ; you would cry, if you said something in LS chat then you would hold a finger to your ear so it looked like you were talking and listening to the linkpearl just some silly things like that to make the place a bit more lively.

the text commands for the emotes are just wrong. /meh is supposed to be confused? like wtf. /huh made a lot more sense. its so unintuitive it always forces me to open the emote menu.

Firsty, /thumbsup to the OP. Great thread :D

Secondly, some awesome pics in there. Cannot help but wonder what you guys were thinking when you snapped those.

And thirdly, I really love the /cheer

Old Pic when i got my Vintage Scales :)

lol. yeah emotes rock in this game. you can have a lot of fun with it

I'm starting to love you crazed lalafells.

Why does the thumbs up emote make me look so retarded when I'm doing it? I'd rather feel silly by doing multiple dance emotes instead of just one.
