Black Mage is the winner of the job emote competition, hands down. NIN and THF are awesome, but black fucking wings rule everything.

And Red Mage makes me sad beyond all measure of imagination.

[Tomino]

Red Mage just became Pisces Aphrodite, for those who know about Saint Seiya anime...

SMN is adorable beyond belief

[Darkmagi]

NIN is fucking god tier. Fuck yeah giant frog.

[grantlogan]

Blatant Naruto Reference FTL, much as I love that show (JP version).


Now every god damned n00b NIN is gonna have a "SUMMONING JUTSU!!!!" Emote, thanks SE. Fucking love DNC's pom pom's though (also why the Seraph touch with BLM? Yeah yeah it's 2 wings not one but they're the exact same design)

Eh, been so long since I watched that show I don't remember. And really? I can't be the only one who gets the Naruto reference... I mean they even copied the stance right down to the palm strike. I guess they stopped just short of hand signs & biting the thumb for blood for legal liabilities. That, and that might be too tricky to program since they're fairly quick motions.


EDIT: Okay I'm mistaken (slightly) it's just the smoke cloud, they didn't copy too much of the animation but still I'll be damned if that isn't a nod to Gamabunta.

[Amok]

No doubt NIN wins. I want SAM's to work while riding a chocobo. That's the only "cool" application I can think of. Also, if RDM lasts long enough and works like enspell2 animations, you can leave a trail of flowers... uhg nvm, it sucks.

[Gokulo]

NIN/DRK/BLM are great, rest is meh. Male DNC af sucked but female is quite ok.

[Hyan]

I wish they'd replace normal Boost animation/effect with the emote one.

[Forte]

I can see it now.

<Tank> Heal plz!
<WHM> /whmemote
<Tank> ...How the hell is that supposed to help me?
<WHM> I threw a bandaid on you, what more do you want?!

[Gokulo]

painstakingly animated

Made me chuckle.

Wonder if they will be job-locked after you unlock them.
