Group pose feedback

[Vespar]

I was thinking it would be an awesome addition if we could easily specify what emote we want everyone to perform by using a command like /groupose "insert emote" or for example "/grouppose happy" or /grouppose mdance

Just a thought.
Really loving this feature! hoping to see more additions in the future

Uh, you already can. Your character does the last emote you did before /grouppose.

I believe she means that if she wanted to take a picture of a devilishly handsome Elezen gentleman who never smiles (for good reason), she could enter Group Pose mode and smile to force him to smile as well.

The appeal is self-explanatory but at the same time some (primarily Japanese) fans will probably feel uncomfortable with the idea that someone else can effectively force them to do things they didn't actually do, in secret. Perhaps I'm wrong about that, but I can easily imagine some people finding it irritating.

so basically mind controlling others to do your bidding through gpose....

This is exactly what I meant, but I guess I can see how some might be upset by having their character forced to do something. Except that in reality they aren't being forced to on THEIR screen. In grouppose, while any player on the screen is included in the shot, Im pretty sure only party members are effected by the actual emote portion of the grouppose function. And /grouppose doesn't notify the other players your even taking a screen shot. So they wouldnt even know unless you told them or showed them the screenshot. At any rate, it really is just a screenshot.
I wonder what some people would think knowing that I have screenshots of random players I dont even know, and I just take screenshots of them because I found the composition of their character in a specific spot interesting. I'm sure Im not the only player who has screenies of other players, I'm sure that makes certain players uncomfortable, but I doubt SE would remove the screenshot function because of it.

This is kind of like that.

I don't use certain emotes on certain characters if the voice is horrific and very unfitting for that particular emote and I prefer to maintain a certain aesthetic for each of my characters - which would extend to their behaviour - so I wouldn't love if people were forcing my brooding Xaela girl to be super happy and cheerful in the screens they intend on posting. So while I can certainly see the convenience of it all, it wouldn't be my favourite thing in the whole world. What I'm waiting for now, however, is permanent posing and total Free Camera!

I too wouldn't want someone else to be controlling my character, even if just for screenshots. I think the features we already have are the better solution.
