The title says it all.
I play a female Midlander as a main, and I feel the female Midlander emotes really don't reflect the personality I have for her in mind well. If anything, I imagine her emoting more like an Elezen( male or female) or a Viera in my head.
And before I am told to buy a Fantasia( which I don't need because I still have my level 50 one) and become an Elezen or a Viera, consider this: we meet NPCs of different personalities regardless of race, and since one's body language depends on one's personality too, I find a hard time believing that the entire race would have one body language. Different people grow up in different circumstances, have different life experiences, develop different personalities, and, by extension, different body language. Not every female Midlander has to be a cutesy girly girl, not every male Elezen has to be a stiff and stoic man, and not every Miqo'te has to be an outgoing, emotional person.
I wish we could choose how the characters emote. Like, let the default animations set be tied to race, but then allow override items that will apply new animations to the character. These things can be on Mog Station or be found in the game or whatever. I feel like this would add a lot of diversity and personality to our characters.
I know I am probably asking for something impossible from a technical standpoint, and even if it is, the devs probably won't bother with that much work, but I guess if I never ask, I'll never know.
Anyway, what do you think of this idea? Would you like something like that? Or would you rather just Fantasia?
