New items on the mog station

just want to point out to those people who are like "i cant believe they did this ever since stormblood they been so scummy with mogstaion"

The Huzzah emote was just the limit break animations for the rest of your party and that was release in HW
i agree this should have been a quest reward but they have always been like this with emotes

This emote was given for free during a seasonal event. I used to not have a problem with them releasing old seasonal rewards on the mog station because it made more sense to do that seeing as how I paid $12 that month and those who didn't grab it during the event did not.

But anyway, mog station is a mistake *grabs pitch fork*

...an emote reminiscent of a beloved NPC's signature gesture.

So, about that... I eventually worked out it's just the Elezen "welcome" (probably) and "joy" (definitely) emotes strung together, and I honestly can't remember him ever using it. Will be paying more attention as I replay Heavensward (currently up to questing in Dravania) but so far, I'm not seeing it as a 'signature' gesture at all.

Meanwhile over in the MCH questline, Stephanivien seems to be using /joy at least once a quest, so I associate it more with him.

He uses it at least twice, actually. Once in a cutscene, I think, and then I believe once when you've made it into his house for the first time and he's super duper excited that his bestest most dear hero-friend-beloved is finally there meeting his family and checking out his digs and ISN'T IT GREAT!?!?!? and when you talk to him he does it. (If it's not then, then it's some other time he's in the house with you and you can talk to him for optional dialogue.) You are right in that it's not actually common, but it's pretty distinct and something only he has ever done.

The emote is kinda similar to welcome and joy, but for the 'welcome' part the hands actually go up and forward (the actual /welcome is more out to the sides), and although the joy part is very similar, it's slower and if you haven't targeted anything, you look at your fist. You also get a giant face which is very unlike pretty much everything else we've got in our repertoire. (exception: male elezen /happy, which is a pretty aggressive /welcome with a step forward that morphs into /psych)

He's pretty expressive in general though. In the Japanese cutscenes he gets super wide eyes and stuff and he does something similar, and he gives exasperated shrugs at a certain young lord's attitude.

Wasn't that emote in the SB benchmark?
It's been in the game's files all this time only to be released on Mogstation.

Is it just me or is that emote just recycled elements from the power ranger emotes and the monk battlestance emote?

Not just you - that's pretty much exactly what it is. You'd save money just having done the Power Ranger-themed Moonfire event and playing a monk, lol.

I feel like that emote could have been a drop from maybe a Temple of the Fist hard mode, or maybe just a reward given as part of the unlock quest.

Or as a final boss chest reward, with a drop rate similar to minions in certain dungeons - Only one is able to get it, so it keeps the players busy running that.

Yeah seems like in SB they decided to do the opposite, so the cool new emotes go to the mogstation while the emotes you can get in game are just cutscene animations that have been in the game since 2.0, or even better they take the face you make during another emote, remove the body animation and then just call it a new "expression" emote.

I am just sad that a emote for this price does not loop...I mean they could have at least done that..x_x
