The Emote Wishlist

[Nalien]

Some of the idle animations to be less.... static? Standing with my arms crossed, thats fine, but standing with my hands on my head? While being completely stationary? It seems weird... Same for the sitting emotes. Lalafell get a nice emote where they kick their feet back and forth, would be nice to see more of that with the sitting emotes. The crossed leg for one of the emotes could have some persistent motion, and the leaning forward while sitting emote could have us rocking side to side slightly like Lalafells regular /sit.

Other than that I just wish the new /sit idles could be compatible with emotes you can use while sitting. Right now it resets you to the default /sit when you do something like /wave.

i want a "Get Away" emote

far too many times i target myself and the other healer with ignore 1 & 2.
i assume people would know not to crowd healers in Levi Ex.
but no, every time i see a ranged dps not realizing that they are too close to a healer who, if stacked, has to be in a general area to heal.
2 seconds after splashy plumes you see the light bulb over their head and then finally they get away.......

We are getting fire dance back... you just need to wait for the event to roll around so we can do the quest to unlock it.

I'd like a /Drinktea emote which would be an alternative to the current (new) Seiza sit.

Well, since we can change various poses....why not various class/race specific walk/run animations?
I'm guessing we're gonna get ninjas soon, so would be cool to run like a ninja, for example.
Miqs could run on all 4.
Roe could rush in like a juggernaut, and kinda headbutt into stuff.
Maybe different poses for how you hold your wep, in combat mode, or even when not in combat. Like, war could hold axe on should-kind-of-thing. Pld could hold a hand on the pommel.

Class specific emotes where you twirl around your weapon(s) like some combat demonstration/training/warm-up. Monk could get some cappoeira kinda of thing, among other.
You could stand around practice dummies with that, and emote-combat them.
/Squat, /push-up, /sit-up, /yoga, /taichi, /work-out (continuous like dance, where you go through random work-outs)
Would be nice to see ppl more alive, rather than just stand around like statues, doing nothing.

/linkpearl - Does the animation from several cutscenes where you answer calls from the Sions

Well actually when you chat in LS/FC, you char will do talk emote, would be cool if they added that thing where you hold your hand to your ear, and talk, as passive emote, for chatting in LS/FC.

I really need /sigh for all the fail t5 and primal ex parties I've joined lately. And a /slap would be nice too!

I'd like to see a /victorydance of sorts where we swing our weapons and then pose with them like the old Final Fantasy games! Dragoons could swing their lances around and then place it behind their neck, on the shoulders. Monks could spin their knuckles awesome-like and then sheath them. Black and White Mages could stick their staves in the ground after a flashy action of sorts.

I also would think it'd be cute to have a /ponder type emote. /Beardstroke for the guys /Hairplay for the girls.

[Grizzlebeard]

It seems lately every emote I go to do isn't on the list. I'm not sure why things like /sigh, /nod, and /poke aren't in there as standard.

[Wildsprite]

this is absolutely necessary for any self-respecting Tarutaru... er I mean Lalafell...

Personally I want a dance emote that replicates the dance that the Miqo'te dancers in Ul'dah are doing. That would be sweet.

believe it or not one of the Hyur F have that dance, I think it's midlander(might be both I dunno since they have different underthings they might have different dances too). which ofcourse made little to no sense to me that they have it and not Miqo'te F

[necrosis]

Facepalm! I really really really reaaallllyy want a facepalm emote.

This.


/10 char

I would like to see a /whistle emote! Like a short little tune for when I'm sitting around camping spots or something.

(Sorry if this has already been mentioned)
