With the long-awaited job emotes set to make their appearance in the upcoming version update, communication between you and your comrades promises to be more entertaining and expressive than ever before.

Today, we're giving players a sneak peek at what lies in store with a new promotional video! Feast your eyes on the complete set of twenty unique and charming gestures painstakingly animated to capture the essence of each of Vana'diel's adventuring professions.

Check out the job emote preview video!

*Final release version may differ from the development content shown in this video.
*Each job emotion must be acquired by completing a quest (minimum job level 30) before it can be used.

Probably the most awesome thing Square Enix has done since Chains of Promathia.

I'm scared of the incoming Influx of Narutards though.

Also I think BLM and DRK should be reversed but no complaints.

All I have to say for this, upon seeing the samurai emote...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkGjBf4Hvgc&t=8

Edit: All right, all right. The phrase 風林火山 (characters are just wind, woods, fire, mountain) which appears on the banner there means "as swift as the wind, as quiet as the woods, as daring as fire, and as immovable as a mountain."

I also assume the black wings for BLM are a reference to either the black waltzes from FFIX, the logo for The Black Mages which has a silhouette of a waltz in it, or both.

Its a weird mix of things you throw at other people, poses with job-related effects, ... and a frog.

I don't get the frog. If it's truly a Naruto reference I fear for the sanity of many, because that will get old fast.

I don't know where this 'bats' thing suddenly came from with DRK though, started with Quietus...

It took me a minute to notice the coinflip one was COR, not a second RDM one. A few also seem phoned-in, like BST and SCH.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. SUPER SAIYAN MNKS. Yeah thats gonna get old fast too.

We also get a good look at some female AFv3 sets, like DNC.

I seem to recall a certain superhero movie starring an individual by the name of Christian Bale that happened to be called The Dark Knight. Coincidence?

Bunny ears? PINK BUNNY EARS?! Seriously SE, are you trying to make bst the laughingstock of FFXI?

Lol... man, poor bst. They get this menacing looking AF3, but then... XD
And something about PUP made me laugh into tears when it came up. I am not really sure what it's supposed to be, but the Galka standing there in the AF3 looking so strtange, then to just start smoking and sparking... lol. Confusing and awesome.

A couple of those are pretty neat. I like Corsair, and Scholar. A couple are really big and flashy (ninja, dark), and a couple seem really underwhelming (warrior, monk). Sort of a strange collection, that's for sure. Took them a very long time to make these things, I kinda expected more in a way. They seem cool, but I was thinking maybe they'd end up with several per job, or race differences, or something... for all the time it took.

Ranger and dnc... I don't think I could use with my male character much. Blu is just wild oats, but kinda funny. Would have liked something original for it, though.

Yes. Unless somehow Batman is HUGE over there and I didn't know it.


Also the main theme is a slowed-down remake of the '60s TV show theme, the BA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-BATMAN part. I found this out when looking up the Inception "BWORK BWORK" thing and how its the same for the tune they use in the movie for timing the kicks. Hans Zimmer is awesome.

In terms of practicality, this probably the /bell of 2010. I'm sure some people are giggly excited somewhere, but until RP actually means something in an MMO without getting shunned, I don't really care if these are present or not.

Well, I don't think it's 'only a preview' since SE says it's the complete set.
And they are fun, or will be... for a very short while. I think most people just expect a bit more after a long time of waiting (they teased these at a festival with the level cap raises many months ago), or would prefer they use their time to develop something more long lasting for the game.

Either way, it's something that'll come and go. Just meant for a quick enjoyment, I guess.

I wonder what they'll say... if they'll all have different text with them, or if they'll all just be a general "[name] does something unique" or "[name] shows off his/her job's colors" or something.

That's actually a really good point. I was wondering why they'd just give the blm wings like that. It looks neat, but seemed kinda random to me. But now that you mention it, it does remind me quite a bit of the black waltzes from FF9. Pretty cool.

pup looks like it overloading like the auto more than anything.

whm is fun, smn is cute too.
war, mnk, pld, drg all cool, drk cool too
Cor is cool

rng, rdm, bst, blue are all lackluster

nin.... thats looks fun, but a little silly for a ninja maybe

thf is cool, blm good.

brd, meh.

dancer... meh pompoms aren't that special, the dances are already there.
sch neat

Weird but cute. ^^

Does this mean however that a few jobs require a target for their actions? (WHM,SMN,BLU)

Ninja looks most epic, although yet again, odd. ^^

And yeah there seems to be some weird theme:

DRK = Bats
RDM = Flowers

o.0

Bst may get pink bunny ears....but at least they're not playing with roses or....butterflies? o.O

Drg one is kinda weird since they don't actually look like wyvern wings

SMN and WHM ones were awesome, but can you only do them when someone is sitting or resting?

Overloading pup looks cool, but doesn't make any sense (at least he's not blushing like some people thought lol)

NIN...hopefully can be selectively filtered...don't wanna see a bunch of giant frogs pop up. Still say they should have made NIN's emote the kuji-kiri

DRK and BLM and THF get the badass awards (although THF looks more NIN like than anything)

And DNC....even with a female character I will never do this emote. Didn't even give us a new animation... But I will forgive them since they showed female version of DNC AF3 and it looks AWESOME!

The banner image showing a summoner with a little chocobo on their own head would suggest you don't need another person, they're just intended that way.
#22REDACTED, Posted: Nov 22 2010 at 4:31 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'd take the frog over the dumbest emote ever made, the Sam one. Woo, a stupid banner. Really?

It pains me to admit that I remember enough of this movie to even consider finding this clip, but here it is anyway.
#25 Nov 22 2010 at 4:55 AM Rating: Decent
Wonder if this is all of them, maybe other races or sexes get different ones?

They look cool anyway, hardly game changing but something fun that adds to the game as a whole regardless.

The blm wings remind me of the AA taru, but maybe its just the floating part of it. Cool either way.
