The still-existing lack of /emote: concerned?

[Kashemia]

That's great news! Almost everything a roleplayer could ask for

Very nice to see!

There is just one thing I am still curious about, though, now that I think about it.

 

Whether or not "motion" will be in FFXIV. I didn't see anything in the updated player manual that would lead me to believe it is.

 

It's not a big deal in the end. But being able to laugh, cry, poke, cheer, or do other things without the text window saying it is still nice, especially if you don't want emote text stepping on what you wrote in your ongoing RP activity, y'know?

[Asyria]

Well there's tons of emotes with motions, they just don't have / commands right now... or are they going to have them now?

[Tadir]

He means like "/panic motion"

 

It does the movement without the text.

[Asyria]

It does?

I know some do have text, I haven't really looked for all of them as I was in a spammy area and mostly looked at the character.

[Aveline]

You guys were quick with the emotes list! Here is a full one anyway, since I've already uploaded

I love that there is a /meh emote.

I love that there is a /meh emote.

 

It is funny, but actually it just acts as "/confused" in other games. When you target someone and use it you get like "You are confused by so and so" or "You don't understand so and so" or something along those lines.

[Tadir]

Aww. That's disapointing. It would be better if it showed up as

Hah. Thanks for clearing that up for me, Tadir. I keep seeming to whiff in the explanation department in this thread. :lol:

 

But, yeah. "/poke motion", "/laugh motion", "/think motion", things like that, all remove the text that goes along with the motions the character makes. It's very convenient so you don't end up, say, writing how your character is waving in welcome, but then your used emote (/wave) has an automatic text that assumes all waving is good-bye.

"motion" was a subcommand that was also in XI and it's really great to see it and the other commands return. *is very happy*
