[Animation] Idle Animations, Tag Emotes & Others

[Renshi]

Heya!

Wanted to bump this thread because I wanted to suggest another thing which would be pretty good and cute to have =)

Class/Job-specified Emotes
Yup, like it says, emotes which are Class/Job-unique! Let's see the Gladiator bringing its shield on its chest and swinging the sword, the Marauder taking his weapon and smashing it on the floor, the Pugilist punching an imaginary box ball with its knuckles,... Even Crafting and Gathering classes can have one, like Blacksmith throwing a gil on the air, Goldsmith examinating a type of ore, the Culinarian throwing a carrot on the air while slicing it and putting it in a plate,...
You guys have the word!

Instead of typing out a well thought out and detailed answer on why these are all great ideas, i'm just going to use this Youtube video to communicate my thoughts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs

I'd like to have my sexy cat girl do sexy things while idling, thanks!

Different idle/animation "personality" types would be nice, I think STO did this to an extent but I could be wrong.

Even if it's subtle idle animations like the retainers in the wards. Just nice to see things alive.

Heya!

For some might be a little thing to not care about, some might thing to be a great thing for the future, or what else, but I'll place this here, so you guys can freely discuss and give ideas about new Animations to suggest our Dev team =)

First argument! Idle Animations
For Idle Animation I mean that animation that goes after like 10 seconds of inactivity. I was thinking about a different Idle Animation for each Race/Gender/Discipline/Class/Job. To give an example, Pugilist could punch its hands sometimes, Marauder could cycle its shoulders, Archer check its bow, and so on. Also Highlanders could put their hands around their waist, Roegadyns could scretch their back of the head,...
Would you like any type of Idle Animation? It could be even differentiated only between Race and Genders.

Second! Tag Emotes
I had a blast using these while playing Portal 2, damn those are good!
This just means doing animations with someone other. You could emote with someone doing a High-five, maybe from the main menu with a Party Request-style advice, or just a button, whatever.
I was thinking of High-fives, Hugs, Holding hands, Brofist, Dance, Chestbutt, Kiss (on the cheek if not married, on the mouth if married, here hoping for a Marriage system =D).

Now you guys! Give your ideas about good animations. It could be anything, even the animations on when you /say, when you craft, on battle,...

Good discussion, see ya!

Idle animations and interactive emotes? [Immersion] [Yes please.]

I would like to see more in-combat animations for the ailment status effects. Like:

Damages = at every level of hp (yellow and red) the character 'standby animation' changes in a more 'drammatic' one.
Sleep = character falls on knees on the ground for the sleep period.
Petrify = character stops completely any movement and becomes stone graphically (like in FF8).

And so on..
