The /emotes we need.

Not rlly even if that were true the games current rating is mature so honestly its fine if females almost all armor is nude lol

It's at the bottom of the webpage on the Lodestone.
And there is no nudity in the game.

The current rating is for Teens in the US.

Doesnt matter lol still rates mature even if it did matter..

If we could eat candy cigerates years ago and was fine we can have a smoke emote

[Crushnight]

It wouldnt need a update rating lol the rating says drugs,alchol lol...

We got drunk npcs and some that smoke even primal that smokes so they are all reasonable lol

Stormblood's ESRB:


While it does say use of alcohol and tobacco it is still a teen rating so 13+ having a /smoke emote or a /drunk emote would absolutely require the rating to be upgraded to Mature 17+ possibly adult as it is illegal to serve alcohol in any establishment to anyone under the age of 18 (in UK at least) There is no way SE is going to allow minors to make their playable characters drunk or smoke you cannot have these emotes till the rating has been increased which can only happen with an expansion's launch. Shadowbringers has yet to have an ESRB so depending on that your /smoke and /drunk emote ideas may be possible

Its a game if ppl are letting kids play grand theft auto and COd i doubt they would have any issue with it overall no matter what the rating is

You're starting to sound like you might not be old enough for an M rating anyway...

And it's entirely up to those parents if they want to let their kids play mature games, but there are also plenty of parents out there who would have their kids' accounts cancelled over a re-evaluation in rating. It's still something that SE would have to weigh the pros against the cons and make a calculated decision on whether to go in that direction.

That being said, there are other games that have such emotes, and a 'drunk' emote would be fun to play around with. As is, however, the closest we have to one is the 'charmed' emote you get from the ananta beast tribe quests which is more comical than anything.

Or be reasonable and create a win win situation they could create 18+ worlds only

Likely would be far more costly to implement than would be worth it in the long run. Same reason they haven't given us 1.x-era servers or level-cap 75 ffxi servers, which are things that the playerbase of both these games have asked for before. More than likely, whatever they give us will be added in an update to all servers at once, exactly as they've been doing for years.

I really do not know if adding these emotes will change the rating, but if it will, then I don't think creating 18+ only worlds would make a difference because as soon as it's part of the game (and not entirely player created), then it will affect the regulation for the entire game. Also, in the Q&A session in Paris, they mentioned they couldn't even show a particular scene of someone being shot by an arrow even though this game already has violence and death.

Well they can give they had a thicker backbone and said screw the rating and make it anyways..
