Alternative animations for Emotes and Skills

[Asari5]

this game is all about visuals. its the biggest difference between boss mechanics and also the biggest difference between jobs

Also, there are a ton of emotes to express yourself.
wouldnt it be awesome though if its possible to go to the next level in character expression and personality customization? to have emotes, skills and poses to fit your characters personality and background?

what i wish for is an animation customization menu. a menu / lexicon which lists all animations your character is able to do. and gives you the possibility to change it. these additional animations could become a new kind of rewards.

for example. when you finish the azim-step area you acquire the 'au ra-animation-set' it gives you access to all au ra specific emote animations which you can switch to in the animation customization menu.
wanna bow like an au ra and greet like a miqote? its possible.

it would be possible to add completely new animation sets which you could earn in different content. but not only for emotes but for any skill animation and idle poses as well.

a dark knight with light visuals? why not? a monk with thunder punches? thats possible too.

it could even be possible to customize your emotes depending on your job.

maybe a tab where you see unaquired emotes and where to find them (show the people what the game has to offer to motivate them to do content lol)


there are third party tools out there doing similar stuff, but it would be neet if there is a proper way to do it ingame and legally since i dont have interessts in mods. not sure if square can do better than mods but pls try.


pls leave a like and show your support through a post. thanks a lot.

I could see changing ruin to something other than throwing a soccer/football to the enemy. Definitely needed for some of the older actions when we sync down.

character action skins? sounds like this. thank you!

I'm glad they are doing this. It's such a logical idea to do with how some jobs could easily go in different visual directions, with Summoner being the most obvious.

It will be interesting as to how it works. The screenshot showed Ring of Thorns, one of the old Dragoon circle AoE actions. Is that only going to be used on specific actions with the same properties, or, could it replace something else and change the AoE properties?

As an example, it could replace Dragonfire Dive and nothing changes, but, if you could use it to change Sonic Thrust from a line to circle AoE (I doubt this one to be honest).

Give me my Leviathan summon SE.
