Yeah...he's a lot blander in the beginning and they even toned down his gestures. They had to slowly bring him back to his correct characterization after there was some sort of outcry, haha. In Japanese he gets super excited about the WoL...like...really excited...he's actually a character archetype in Japanese writing, sort of the 'excitable and inappropriate eccentric' type. We don't have this character archetype and would have regarded him as some kind of creepy villain immediately when it was meant to be humorous. I think in the end he was still as lovable as he was intended to be, so I don't mind the English version at all. (Yes, I know some people don't care about him! But a lot still do!)

I was aware that they'd changed his script/personality and had to back up on it, but I didn't realised they'd been able to change his emotes as well. Anyway, I got through the game the first time without knowing about it and without really noticing anything was amiss. Maybe because they 'course corrected' early enough that it just seemed like he's becoming more friendly as you get to know him better.

I do remember him being excited when we first got to Fortemps Manor, but I don't think he was doing any emotes then. Will have to pay double attention with my other alt character when he gets there.

I'd call /welcome aggressive just because as a short person if I had someone over six feet throwing their arms out and stepping right into my space like that chest first, I think I'd be backing up a few steps. XD

Haha, fair enough! Though I was thinking more in comparison to the actual /welcome emote. They're not really the same motion other than being 'arms out'. Though I guess it could get used as a dramatic welcome gesture in a cutscene. (One of my alt characters is Elezen so I can test it out.)

Also since you mentioned /psych... that's a weird animation. The one time I remember seeing a character use it, I thought they were meant to be angry and it didn't really make sense.
