Customizable gender identity? (for emotes)

[Darthgummibear]

Poses are tied to the rigging of each model, with the mail and female models obviously being different. To accommodate this request would require actual new animations for all those emotes. They are never going to put in that kind of effort for what is ultimately an extreme niche request.

I can't speak for how XIV works, but it absolutely does not require new animations. In most programs it's incredibly easy to simply transfer skeletons from model to model even if the models don't match in the least leading to hilarious incidents like the classic "Pikaman" meme. Without human care and precision it won't always look good, but frankly I'd rather be able to swap between animations and decide what looks good to me than not at all.

You've obviously never worked in animation a day in your life.

My degree disagrees.

I mean the point is that I do have legitimate professional experience in animation, 2D and 3D, as well as multiple years worth of experience with most popular and well known 3D modelling and animating software; as well as practical use in game design and know what I'm talking about - though I'd rather not dox myself by delving any further. You, however, throw out baseless accusations based on the principle of "nuh-uh".
