Smoking emote.

[Hysterior]

I don't care if they add these emotes or not, but drinking alcohol and smoking have been around since antiquity.

Prostitution as well. Can I start selling my lala for gils in game? You can pick me up in your Regalia, I will make you a discount

Well Yotsuyu was a prostitute or a courtesan or something.

I think some other instances have popped up somewhere in the story randomly. So SE beat you to the punch.

Besides, what you do with your Lalafells is between you and the good people of the FBI.

First dungeon literally has women whove been kidnapped by pirates and there's plenty to infer theyve been..well taken advantage of in the worst way possible. Among those there are lalafells. The game doesnt shy away from treating lalafells as adults (as they are). So if the game were playing here is "No smoking cause we dont have prostitution!", game kinda already has it indirectly. Also not sure why were talking about an emote for smoking is some how equivilant to prostitution? Seems kinda a big stretch.

Personally I hate the cigar tray furniture item. I'll see a really cool bar/lounge area and that one item will just completely ruin the vibe for me.

But oddly enough, I don't mind the NPCs smoking in Kugane, and I don't think I'd have an issue with an emote for it as long as it's pipes like that and not a common cigarette/cigar.

Sorry nope, There is no need for it.

This logic is unsound because there's a lot of stuff we have ingame as a result of requests. Just don't use it, it ain't that hard.

It is juice....Fermented grape juice!

Jokes aside, I dont understand the conflation between a game and real life going on from the opposition to the emote. If the argument is "Well this will promote smoking to children" then we got to remove a lot of things from the game. Even then, I think there's this weird concept that kids are too stupid to understand the difference between a game and real life. I was a kid once too, and I played my fair share of games that had smokers. I dunno about anyone else but I sure didnt sit there and think "gee, this video game guy smokes so I will too!" If anything, kids pick up smoking either to fit in to social groups typically or as a possible status symbol, not because they saw it on a piece of media. When I was a kid it wasnt cool cause Joe Camel smoked or because some action hero lit one up. Its cool cause its defying the rules and being rebellious. This also just plainly ignores societal counter pressures, or that smoking is in decline. So I dont buy into the "If we put this emote into video games, all of a sudden theres gonna be a surge of child smokers."

If the argument is it supports bad health habits cause smoking is gross, yeah well the game does a lot of that already and probably worse. This is the same concept of violent videogames makes everyone violent mass murderers. It's a BS argument. I do a lot of terrible things in game healthwise, like jump off cliffs or stand in fire, and I dont go doing that in real life. Or the weird one where we say "Nah, second hand smoke man!"...in a videogame. We've been LITERALLY gassed in this game among other things, and were thinking about second hand smoke?

Look, if you have personal reasons why you dont like smoking, thats cool. I have my own reasons too. But part of the fun of fantasy and RPGs is living a bit vicariously through avatars. You dont have to get the emote if you dont want it. But demanding no one else gets it cause "Muh reasons" is stupid. It's literally denying other people an aspect they think would be fun because of your own personal scruples. If they have a smoke emote, it shouldnt be any of your business. Dont get it if you dont want it. As I mentioned before, if its mogstation exclusive, then thats that. Even more reason why you dont have to have it.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s when smoking was considered 'cool' and never had the urge to smoke. I thought it was disgusting. When I was in my late 20s I decided to take up pipe smoking because I liked the 'intellectual' look of it and because pipe tobacco doesn't typically have the same chemicals as cigarettes and you don't inhale it. Either way it was my choice and not decided by any form of media or peer pressure.

I would love my character to have a long type of pipe or a cuban cigar as they chill and blow the smoke upwards. Or to make it more "mild" have it blow bubbles instead.
