YES! Being able to choose your animation set would be fantastic. Being able to create a custom set would be heavenly.

I've always wished I could swap one or two animations out for those of another race. I play a lalafel. I love how expressive her emotes are, and MOST of them I'd never change. But that /dance emote... *shudder* And her doze animation for beds makes me very uncomfortable. :/

I never considered a Fantasia for her until the Viera were added. I didn't think I'd like them... but the first time I saw a Viera player, I was struck by how strong and beautiful and just full of personality the character's expression was, no emotes required. Yet, when I made an alt Viera character to test them out, I found the emotes tremendously disappointing. All very similar and... flirty. ie. not to my tastes, and certainly not fitting with the personality of my adorable Teiran. (I *do* really like their /dance though.) If I could choose to replace a Viera's emotes with ones better fitting my character's personality, I'd be able to go through with using a Fantasia. But until the day the option to change emotes is added, I'm afraid I just can't bring myself to make the switch.

So for me... I love this suggestion. It really would make all the difference.

And along with my (probably too big lol) hope that we could mix and match emotes to make a custom set... I'd better add that I'd love to see such an option for voices, too!

Thanks for suggesting this, Eli. I know it would be a lot of work to remake the animations, but it would have such a huge impact that I think it's more than worthwhile. I fully support the idea!
