Ohhh!! Ohhhhh!!! I do this too! Whenever I see someone running toward me that is seemingly on a collision course, I have my fingers ready above Q and E so that I can casually step to the side. I also make sure not to run through people either and I get annoyed when I see people on big Goobues from my party running on top of me in Frontlines, haha(in the real, open FF world, I get out of the way as quickly as I can if they're coming the other way and usually follow with a /shocked emote).

In addition, I do a LOT of walking through cities and the world in general, even when I am going nowhere in particular. Also if I see anyone else walking I will almost certainly stop and do so myself so as to help boost their immersion just a little bit should they be RP'ing.


There are so many things I neglected to remember if not for other posts, haha. I am really glad others do this too. I'd appreciate seeing people deliberately trying not to run through me though I don't ever recall noticing it. Sometimes when passing through places like Fallgourd float where a lot of people can gather I might even slow my chocobo to a walk and place a wide berth between us so as to not... well, startle them I guess. I know I wouldn't want a big horse casually brushing right by me in real life in case of a misplaced hoof.

Also guilty. I do this so often I didn't even think of it as a quirk.

I always had the habit of when a mob dies and has its death action, I will physically make sure my character doesn't get hit by the landing body.

I tend to slightly modify the way I type based on which character I'm on, to strangers. For example, for a stoic character, I wouldn't say something like "no problem! we can do it! ^^" in a PUG group. It would just become "no problem" (while the former would be on a more lively character).
