Roegadyn are limber enough to do a flip while using Gorging Blade, jump into the a good 6 feet for Aura Pulse, jump into the air and shoot arrows downward with Wide Volley, twirl around several times with an axe with Steel Cyclone, perform a backflip to reduce enmity with Elusive Jump, punch an enemy several times including a flip attack with Simian Thrash, etc., yet they're not capable of perform any kind of dance aside from clomping their GIGANTIC MEATY LIMBS ON THE GROUND HULK SMASH?

Our /happy emote has us bouncing all over the place (it's one of the very few emotes I actually enjoy), why can't more do this?

lol I'm not disagreeing with you entirely. Calm down.

First of all, the attacks you're describing are the same for all races (with some variation). Those are weapon skills or special combat maneuvers tied to Classes/Jobs, not race. Several of them only occur when a high amount of "energy" (TP) is built up. Otherwise they have a cool-down. They're not emotes done when casually standing around and relaxed. I'd hardly put emotes and WS's/Combat Moves in the same category.

I get it. The Roegadynn emotes are too stiff and lifeless for you. That's why I said put a bit more "oomph" into them, but keep them looking appropriate for the race (maintain that sense of weight and size).

Seeing a huge brick wall of a character bouncing around with the same lithe grace of a Miqo'te who's a fraction of their size and weight would look ridiculous.

More poignantly and on-topic, please no real world meme-style dances. Keep it unique to the world/cultures of FFXIV.
