About the hiding the emote text, can't they just use "/cry motion", then your character will do the cry emote without any text showing up in chat.
If they want the other way around they could just use "/em cries.".

Yes they can do that but this is a method for those that are new, not used to text commands/macro's. So having this kind of option would help imo.
Also there are times when people just spam emotes without the 'motion' and it gets annoying so having a log filter for emotes would be a plus also.

Yea of course, it'll be nice to have the option. Was just thinking that they could use that for now, until the other feature is added.
Better than nothing.

(It kinda came off wrong but it was more like information and not complaint)

For those of you that bought the Before Meteor soundtrack:

Do you know what to do to get the MP3 files on to a PC? I tried to download them in the link mentioned on the BluRay, but it seems to be down most of the time and I've only managed to download the first file.

I noticed Yoshi-P's forum avatar is back to the old one.

...

I'm not surprised if he didn't approve of the new "doodle"/charicature-style one. I didn't see it as very flattering, especially for someone in his position.

I like Minagawa-san's new avatar better than Yoshi-P's new one, but it still lacks something. Maybe I just like seeing more face and less empty background.

...

Edit:
Officially-translated Minagawa-san post on inventory sorting has been posted. (linky)

Oh good, good, I'll update mine and add link to the official one. I think the old YoshiP's avatar was used in this case to apologize to everyone, wouldn't seem right if it still had the other happy/running guy in there in current situation. It's go back once everything is settled.

Aw, the Golem FATE in Tranquil is gone. That was fun to do in beta, especially when it wasn't forced level sync and you could do some rotational testing with classes at 50.

I know exactly what you mean. Remember the Guildleve's where you need to escort someone to their destination via a specific route? You would have to target them and /beckon them before they would take a few steps in your direction. During the early beta phases, your chat box would be spammed with "Person A beckons Momoroon." text from the people who were doing that particular quest/leve.

In order refrain myself from spamming the chatlog with the same text, i made a "/beckon motion"-macro specifically for these type of quests.

Yep, I also made macros just for these emotes with /beckon motion <-- with them. Only problem I got with the macro though... can't use same motion icon lol
They really need to increase the amount of icons we can choose from for the macro's and categorize them class/emotes/marking/other

Or use a text command with which you can indicate which icon it should be using, like:

/useicon "Cure II"

I wish they had kept all the EU servers grouped up for Duty Finder.

Being on Phoenix, now I only have another EU server to get grouped up with.
