/fume

The emote needs to be renamed to fit the action as fume suggests anger where as the action expresses dissapointment.

There are a ton of these. I'd love to see a few of these actions renamed, or their emotes reworded. I keep accidentally agreeing with people for trying to thumbs up them. I mean, it's an affirmative, sure.... but ascent doesn't come to mind quickly.

And I still say "sprightly" is the wrong word in "XXX dances sprightly for YYY". . .

In the japanese forum there is a dev confirmation that they will be fixing emotes not matching actions on the Japanese end, it is not confirmed if they will be fixing this for any other language. If they are, hopefully they'll choose this thread to translate the dev post ^^

With the benefit of hindsight, we aren't crazy about /fume either, and have been leaning towards changing it to something a bit fouler and much more fun to type. We've been kicking around a few ideas (like /damnit), but have to run them by some people to make sure they are allowed under the game's current rating. Hence the late reply to this thread. Soz for that!

Unfortunately, it's too late to sneak this or any other emote changes into 1.18. The UI team has informed us, however, that we should be able to tweak emotes as much as we like in 1.19. Until then, I can only /ask that you /grin and /bearit... (crickets chirping) I... I'm sorry.

Feel free to post any other suggestions you have for emote commands or emote-related log text. We consider emotes to be extremely important, as they are often the primary means of communication between players in different regions, and so we are always amenable to improving their clarity wherever possible.

Duly noted!

Hey Eemeefu,

I have a few things for emotes I would like to see, maybe some others would agree with me. I would like to have a /sigh emote for those times when you just need to... well sigh. Someone is taking forever to come so you can target them and sigh. Another one is /smile. It was always nice in FFXI to exchange a warm smile with a jp player or a friend. I really don't have emotes currently to fill these gaps. There is /stagger but it's just not a /sigh.

A personal Roegadyn request though... could you possibly have them create a Roegadyn wave that is less ridiculous. The Roegadyn wave is more like a LOOT AT ME OMG.. sometimes I just want to toss someone a simple wave.

Thanks for reading

One of the things I don't like about the emotes is the disconnect between the command and the text in the log.

For example, /yes makes you nod in the chat log, and that's rather unintuitive since you'd think that you'd have to type in /nod to get that action.

/no makes you "disagree with someone, whereas /yes makes you "nod", and /thumbsup makes you "agree wholeheartedly".

Considering the text that appears when you do /no, it would seem that /yes should make you "agree wholeheartedly".

I always thought the /angry emote seemed more like a /sigh and that maybe /thumbsup could be shortened to /like.

Today I had a glitch during a leve run, after I signed back in from D/Cing, and I couldn't receive or send /party or /linksell messages. I couldn't inform them to wait for me to figure something out before linking leves and I was hoping I could use an emote called /wait to express someone to hold on a sec or something due to language/communication barriers.

Also, chocobo emotes in 1.19 would be AWESOME!!!! KWEH!!!
