Customizable gender identity? (for emotes)

[Rin_Sato]

This game has done a great job at being inclusive with respect to equipment by allowing everyone to wear the maid dress and butler outfit for example, but what about emotes?

I know there are lots of people who would prefer the emotes from a "male" character or a "female" character but can't. Some example are the idle pose for dark knight, or the sit pose for miqo'te. I can't imagine it would be too much work to allow players to simply choose their identity and then have the other emote be loaded, so is there any chance this will be considered?

My suggestion is to add something like /changepose [male|female], /cheer [male|female]
or maybe like PSO2 where they do /mchangepose or /fdance.
Thoughts?

…what?

Why?

[Shialan]

Why not? Giving players more options is always a good thing. Also there is no reason to still gender or even race lock stuff like poses or hair styles.

I like the idea, I dont like how you titled the topic cause half the people will only click on it cause they think its a bait.

Could have just said gender neutral emotes like gender neutral clothes (Like how they made many glam that were previously gender locked now available for other genders too.)

Cause if you say customizable gender identity, it feels like you are saying that if I sit like a guy, I should be a guy... which is a bit meh.

But I fully support the idea of more emotes for us regardless of gender.

This actually wouldn't be too difficult for the devs to implement and would be a fairly progressive move.

Sometimes I just wanna be sassy but I can't because Hroth.

I really wouldn't mind if I had the option to not emote like a jpop idol. I know it would be absolutely uncharacteristic of a canonically fierce steppe warrior race like the Xaela, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

I would looove the female weapon pose from DRK for my boii - but then again I generally would love more options for IG stuff, if we already are stuck with the char creator like it is =_=

I'm always down for more emote options, sign me up!

To put it bluntly, sounds like a waste of time.

I always say this but people are struggling to tell the difference between male and female viera as it is. Why make them even more similar?

[Rokke]

I'd swap the male drk pose to the female drk pose in a heartbeat if I could.
