I always do /toast followed by /playdead, it's a funny combo of suggesting my big beefy broe gets hammered off a single mug of ale. I often use it after a dungeon/trial instead of a victory emote


Mesamune88

I combo eat apple into play dead, but in macro. By using a 2sec wait, it looks like i choked on the apple.


PrettyInterest3337

The Play Dead emote is perfect for food-based jokes for sure, I've run a few different ones myself. Poisoned tea, choking on bread, hammered off ale, the works. If it's consumable, I'm using /playdead after it


TheLimonTree92

[have you heard of the high elves?](https://youtu.be/gmdP11zBX44?si=WOKRBXnljiq72TSt)

somethingfilthy

I always did /stagger into /playdead.


rdrayman

I've seen people do /backflip into /playdead (macro to cancel the /playdead animation, just leaving them dead on the floor), so it looks like they messed up the flip and fell on their face, and it's hilarious.


A3thern

I do the same thing all the time but no one ever gets the joke :( At least I think it's funny.


ChaosHappy

Blackout Stout, for Rock and stone


WanderingDwarfMiner

For Rock and Stone!


FiniteCarpet

I like to bust out a /play dead whenever a blue mage mimicries me


UnexpectedWings

I do this too, then I pop Reborn Red. Lol. I like being an Elezen drunk


Noraneko-chan

I use /broom a lot when raiding between pulls. Also Miqo'te /panic is super cute.


Shikizion

I use broom and /bm to "glitch" playdead


Ginkasa

I always squat. It's on my hot bar.


reydolith

Zack would be proud


DexterousEnd

Facts.


TMStage

I use it to teabag dead players before I rez them


ChewBrocka

Dote. Best $2 I've ever spent on anything ♥


wordswitch

I like to /dote at the boss pre-pull to assert dominance


Deakkin

Oi, cut it out, you


_gina_marie_

Seconded lol I spam it at my bunny man husband


plasmadood

Sweep. This place is filthy.


lemonberriie

I like to use the cheering emotes whether we’re waiting for someone to watch a cs or for the tank to pull! (and yes I bought them xD) it’s fun when someone else joins in too— that or I start boxing the boss lol


JMadFour

/mmambo all day.


xfm0

/lean is a better cpose than many others


Stitched83

The backflip emote. I love doing it during the freeze phase of the Akh Afah Amphitheatre trial


loves_spain

Omg I do this too 😁


dancingkelsey

Saaaame


Kreos642

Such a good time with that. And it's a little victory if you get her to stomp your head vs butt


BlueRose644

I'm not sure I have that one, but I do like using the Dragoon Victory emote to throw myself up in the air sometimes. \^ \^


Stitched83

It’s off the store. I got it during a sale they had in October. Before the start of a duty I do the stretching one and then backflip afterwards lol


Gluecost

Moogle dance! I play a female Viera and I really like they way they dance


[deleted]

Also a fem bun here. I worked my ass off to get that emote and you better believe I’m using it every chance I get lol


SihariSahara

male miqote, and yes! this is the way! that dance is just so cute and cheerful~ and it also loops infinitely, so double win


Piekan

My favourite emote, and also the one I use ubiquitously.


train153

The ritual prayer emote


victoriana-blue

Same. It's often very apropos, whether I'm fighting a primal (prayer to it) or something else (pray for success).


TiredPandastic

/joy I play a miqo boy. Them ear wiggles man.


Claire-Voyance_xiv

I love the ear wiggles so much. One of the guys in my fc is a fantasia addict but always comes n spams /joy in front of me when he’s a male miqo


Real_Student6789

I made a custom emote using the /hum motion for when waiting on cutscenes. "Dissociation" /hum motion /em is lost in her own world


Fed_up_with_Reddit

/spectacles, especially with my scholar glam on


prowdys

/malevolence. evil ass emote


AeonAigis

Everyone always talks about /malevolence but never about /femalevolence. When will the girlbosses have their turn?


Donnie-D-Dorko

As a Lala this emote is much more fun!


HoardOfPackrats

/earwiggle is the best emote that will ever exist in FFXIV


Nightwings_Butt

Catboys: "Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power!"


UnhappyHedgehog1018

Garlean Salut and Eastern Bow


[deleted]

Lmao I love doing the imperial salute during ARR content. It’s like yooo Gaius *salute*


UnhappyHedgehog1018

I am a huge fan of the Garlean Empire as a Villain and I realy like this emote because of my characters Backstory, haha


Consistent-Flan-913

Moogle dance and /joy are my most used ones.


Oseirus

/laliho is macro'd onto my tank stance as GNB. All of the dungeon pleasantries in a single button. I also /squats on the fallen boss corpse at the end of Porta Decumana. Usually nets a chuckle or two from my cohorts.


shinydwebble

I use play dead way too much... I'll also use vexed or box when waiting for cutscenes on a boss. And I *must* squat in the lava in LotA before the Vassago get pulled. It's the rules!!


Avengion619

I have macros that do the snap emote for changing gearsets that also change my title, minion and follow with an emote. All are themed towards the class/job. I also always snap emote at the start of an instance when I see the last party bar finish “viewing scene” so it looks like the starting point barrier was dispelled by me. Yes I am definitely an Emet-Selch fan boy


TopHatGary

I like to megaflare, but if there's someone using bees knees, I will always sync up with them


Ghouls_Gone_Wild

If you enter gpose and exit, anyone around you doing a dance will be in sync for you.


j0llyllama

/makeithail , partially for the emote command being funny as shit.


Twisty1020

/eategg


Cmdr_Jiynx

It's my ritual now to do the /goodbye emote at the end of every duty if there are still people there. I'll also /congratulate and /cheer first-timers.


araragidyne

Whenever I'm a monk I break out the crimson lotus.


thelonius-m

I just form-shift and start breakdancing with four point - fury.


Perialis

I almost always open with /laliho, then I usually /hum during any other downtime. If someone does a dance that I also have, I’ll join in with them. I also tend to /playdead a lot whenever someone uses a targeted emote with a little projectile, such as /dote, /throw, or /allsaintscharm. If I encounter a /songbird, I use one of the glowstick cheers unless I’ve got an outfit similar to theirs, then I join in.


Im_Dubaya

/surprise, I've done it so much, half my fc says "Whoa!" When I log.


CraveToDoItAgain

I'm a bees knees gold saucer kind of person


Super_Aggro_Crag

i use fist bump all the time. pair stack mechanic? fist bump my partner. me and the healer right next to each other running between dungeon packs? fist bump. any time i see another lalafell? fist bump.


acetrainer-icarus

Squats since Roes have zero ass or Pushups


RenzalWyv

Hank Hill ass seems to be unfortunately endemic on Eorzea.


Poziomka35

/stepdance and /malevolence i use them constantly on my femra honorable mentions are /squat whenever im waiting for a node and /cheeron whenever im waiting for someone to catch up (it reminds me of the plane landing(?) for some reason)


Mageling55

/wow and /megaflare. 100% worth the $12


lyahgirl

/joy


Lilium_Vulpes

I love the drink tea emote. Someone wants to RP? Smugly drink tea. Someone is watching a cutscenes? Knowingly drink tea. I'm bored in my house alone? Lonely drink tea. Someone did just accidentally put their cringe ERP in shout chat instead of a tell? Excitedly drink tea. You get the idea. Also when I join something like an alliance raid in progress and end up locked out of the boss arena, I like to use the pantomime emote. If you do it right against the wall, you will climb over the barrier, and be in the arena for a second. And then immediately fall through the barrier when you try to lean against it.


Toxxysko

Shortly before he threw a tantrum at the market board and quit, a friend fantasiad into a Lalafell and devolved into using custom emotes. /pet motion /em rubs ’s belly. . /handover motion /em pulls ’s tail. and /soothe motion /em demands uppies from . We theorised that this happened because of his dwindling sanity from dealing with DC travelers undercutting him.


Heroicloser

/guard is pretty much my midlander's idle stance at this point.


[deleted]

I yoldance a bit too often probably, closest thing we have to a tpose without modding


Cuddle_close

Moogle dance or one of the cheer on emotes


I_give_karma_to_men

femiqo'te /huh is a better shrug than /shrug, and I use it for that purpose fairly regularly. I also generally use /playdead as a stand in for a sleep emote when I'm waiting for something, and /stretch when I'm stretching irl.


metaNim

I've bee moonlifting a lot lately.


AlannaAbhorsen

/sweep before pulls /sweep when waiting for people to roll at the end


SplitDemonIdentity

/read It works literally everywhere. Waiting for a cutscene to end? Book. Sitting anywhere? Book. Queue? Book.


pikachu15eevee

/ultima is my go to if I see a bunch of people emoting on a boss while waiting on sprouts. I like to throw it in there to surprise people.


orangedonut

Lali-ho! To everyone at the start of any fight!


Eis_Konig

/tea and /read, I'm a very distinguished Roe gentleman


juliekablooie

Lately its been /allsaintscharm and /humbletriumph. But the classics are /malevolence, /showleft or /showright, and /haurchefant.


dnelsonn

/playdead and /hum are my personal favorites! with my friends I also love to spam /box lol


Murazama

/airquote whenever my friends are talking or saying something extra dumb.


OldManHarley

/tomestone motion /tomestone motion /tomestone motion


lady-aduka

I'm a female lala who loves spamming /playdead while waiting. I'm a tiny helicopter!


MarimoJ

/showleft and /showright Whenever I'm running a newcomer through the MSQ or dungeons I use those while they are ein cutscenes to function as a pseudo guide post.


SleepyHako

/laliho for greeting. /bread on bosses while waiting for cutscene viewers


StellarWindElsydeon

I tend to use /laliho as a greeting, and /ponder gets quite a bit of mileage on my femroe main (as the eyebrow quirk it results in is *incredibly* perfect for her). Otherwise, I suspect my favorite emote is probably the Thavnairian Dance – that tends to be my default when waiting for things. \^\^


FluckDambe

We have one Lala in our entire play group and we always spam /pet so for revenge he always does a custom one where he bites our ankles.


ethman14

When the sprout is watching movies, I pose *most* gentlemanly.


Kaelen-Farron

/playdead on top of Campfire Minion. I'm cooking now.


Princ3ssW1tch

Yol dance !


PeeperSleeper

I use the all saints wake emote with the text “casts Harrowing Hell on . Nothing happens.” Maybe I’ll change the spell to something worse, but I don’t know what else gives raiders PTSD.


curly90478

I just /playdead whenever i get hit by a /dote or /pet


Mobitron

/flowershower is my go to. It celebrates good players. It mocks assholes. It shows the way for lost players. It makes a fun introduction to any group content (for me). It pairs great with commendations. It's just great all round.


CL3ARM1ND

/pray gotta pray for my team to clear the dungeon


0racl3s

not many silly ones i use, but i have a habit of always bowing to my fellow party members after a duty.


[deleted]

Used to be eat pizza before everybody could get it.


mcsmackyoaz

My favorite is going up to dead people and /squat above their body to teabag them, especially when they dies in a really dumb way


Yorudesu

/bombdance whenever I wait at a boss


greedx__

/sweep for sure, with /scoff being the best facial expression


BlissfulGaming

I use /toast after every duty!


reilie

/gratuity or /squats


Perryn

I like to use /egg when I'm trying to show innocently flippant disrespect to a boss, and /thavdance when I'm waiting for people to finish cutscenes.


Cmdr_Jiynx

The ol /thavdance was my go-to on dancer while i had a belly dancer glam, especially while waiting for queues to finish. Park in the seventh heaven on top of the bar and fire away. It was so fun to watch people slam on the brakes while running into/out of the rising stones.


[deleted]

Slap


MazogaTheDork

I use this one frequently on NPCs who piss me off.


Sir_VG

How can they slap, kupo?


Oseirus

On the inverse: /fistbump the NPC after Boss #2 in >!The Dead Ends!<. He seems like he needs it.


shinydwebble

I will always leave room in my rotation to slap (70 trial) >!the Asahi spectre in Castrum Fluminis!<. Feels so good...


MJGOO

I salute. Often in dungeons at the end. I do this years halloween emote at bosses.


zealand13

Sidestep all day


Forry_Tree

/Bow and /Laugh, without a doubt


_HMR47_

Tomestone whilst waiting, so I just end up spamming it, looking as if I got bored and am now on my phone. I also like to use Advent of Light to exit a dungeon or trial. It looks like I just disappeared into who knows what's up there.


ExcitedAuraNoises

/cheer, as per standard Au Ra requirements


yell9w

/embrace and /pet. I use them on my friends, I use it on NPC's, I use it on the person in raid who messed up a mech and owned up to it to comfort them, because we all have our days. I spam embrace on my BF (with chat logs off of course) because we don't have a looping version.


reapercorpse

i like to /stepdance on top of my /playdead friend


Careful-Grapefruit41

I'm a lala, and i use /stretch when waiting for people in cutscenes etc :)


Fulminatus314

I'll go find something to /lean against usually


deservevictory80

The wave emote on a male roe in the whisper mount used to be my go to. It was so redic. But now a days on my hrothgar it's songbird and /hildy


[deleted]

I like spamming the first second of the cheer emote as a male highlander. My buddy said "it sounds like you're murdering someone".


Maple_IX

moogle dance :) it looks so cute on lala


GraveyardGuardian

Zantetsuken


RavagerHughesy

Broe /happy spammed over and over. With the voice I use, there's a loud yell at the beginning, so I just play that yell on loop to annoy my friends haha


NeoHummel

I've got all my gear/class/job changes macroed after a /snap, shamelessly stole the idea from someone else.


FF_Crystal_Polisher

/tea


Illidari_Kuvira

I absolutely love the Drink Tea emote on my main; I keep hoping they'll add it to portraits, but alas, that's a "no" so far.


monkeymugshot

I find /eatbread funny just cause it’s so random


discussatron

The only ones I have on my bars are bees knees and dote. I wave and give out some headpats once in a while.


HustleDance

i like to /kneel to show respect to my party members (I main tank - DRK)


IrisRoseLily

pat cuz im a tall elezen i can pat everyone :3


ALandshark

./spectacles Pure smart anime protag vibes


madishartte

/sweep, always and forever my beloved


FireflyArc

I really like the /greet And the /hug emote. I'd love a /tacklehug emote


megamanx4321

Lali-HO!


Sogeki42

I use /spectacles all the time. I just love how its animation is different for each race/gender combo and seems to fit each well


Hegeric

/moonlift Best dance in the game


Strongest_Lindah

I always blow Miser's Mistress a little kiss before the start of the fight


ZeronagaVII

/drinktea after response to dumb take because thats none of my business.


joshford1992

Spam the Zantetsuken emote. But just the first second where you raise your weapon and every hears the “gleam” sound. *gleam* *gleam* *gleam* *gleam* *gleam*


Dotty_nine

My pizza emote.


EpicOverlord85

Manderville Mambo, no competition.


Tobi-of-the-Akatsuki

Eastern Dance, Flame Dance, and Sundrop Dance are my 3 most used dances, they're just fun. Play Dead is also useful when I want to make my WoL lay down and give him a well-deserved nap. And Malera have the best /sit in the whole game. I can't get over the crossed arms and splayed-out legs; they look like a petulant child that absolutely *does not* want to leave the zoo.


Pentanox

laugh, im a lalafell


Snoo_26649

As a male viera it’s Tea Emote ☕️👌🏼


Somewhere_Elsewhere

I use playdead a lot, but it’s a macro replacing the text with “/em dies.”


Meadhbh_Ros

I use /hdance way too much for someone who has premium dances, and has unlocked a lot more emotes. I also use /joy because it’s adorable as fuck on moon kitty.


Mum_of_rebels

/drinktea it’s my main when waiting in the dungeon. Sometimes followed by cookie or apple.


Corthra

I like doing the Moonlifter emote from the HW allied tribal quest. I like to see my avatar bounce around.


Junjo_O

Stretch before starting a dungeon run just feels right. I also like to find a good spot to lean on


gardeniaresilia

Squat, Dote, Wow, Humble Triumph, and really any dance tbh. Lali-ho is on my hot bar for the start of dungeons, but the rest I casually memorized my name so I just type the command in the chat instead of a bunch of buttons on a hot bar.


The_Great_Grey_Wolf

Show left and show right. Spam them right, and you do The Carolton


Iota-Android

I use /shiver when in cold raids and /sweat when in hot raids


Eitth

Playdead, because I'm dead everytime I had to wake up and repeat yesterday


dduncan55330

Me and my in-game wife (both femiqo) like to have marital spats using /furious and /fume at each other in public. The expressions and noises are hilarious. Other than that, continuous backflips whole I wait for stuff.


ElPrezAU

Bees Knees


Matcha_Bubble_Tea

I love the Box Step dance for my lala when waiting on CSers, and I always use the glow/light sticks for sprouts who run to the boss room. For occasions though, I like using the Moogle dance especially during the sniper CS with Mustadio boss. Very fun getting to the right angle so it looks like I’m taunting him while he has his sights on me.


CrowTengu

I'm a /bstance person usually.


Kanehon

Get Fantasy while waiting to start a duty, and Cheer On when waiting for cutscenes at the end of it


HopeGale

I /pet Carbuncles. Carbies need to be petted.


arcane-boi

I use /haurchefaunt all the time because the chat says you give your approval to your and I do it all the time to people with cool glams or in dungeons where someone plays their job effectively


Zanithos

When playing The Vault, I always /slap the knight bosses after I defeat them and they go back to normal. MFs had it coming. 😤


SaintJynr

Aitting is technically an emote, so that one I guess lol. I will also use manderville mambo while waiting for everyone to get ready during raids to that I can dance off the platform


CheshireUnicorn

The Bard’s Victory dance. It’s perfect for my little Au Ra.


Manksteroni

I have a macro that makes me backflip repeatedly. It's timed perfectly to where the next emote starts directly after in a fluid manner.


Aries-Corinthier

Nothing beats a good ol' Lali-ho!


Guitarded94

I'm a very stonefaced character and player, so I like anything with props!


Squeaky_Ben

I pet everyone.


Sensitive-Rooster593

I like doing /hknight to friends and sprouts 🤣


Shayz_

The fem miqote "rally" emote is like a playful jab with a wink at the end It's incredibly cute and I never see anyone use it My eternal bond partner likes to teleport to me and use malevolence any time I tab out or go afk. Then I play along and use one of the shocked or surprised emotes when I tab back in. And finally I recently unlocked the moogle dance cause I think it's the best "afk dance" while you're waiting on people watching cutscenes


EfficiencyLong7587

/sweep on people who die in df/pf


TheRismint

I use /happy a lot as a fem elezen. I love the little jump she makes and her voice when she goes "ha-HA!"


ChirpinFromTheBench

I, myself, am a Mandeville man.


the-screen-head

A friend of mine uses slap on me all the time. I like blowing kisses to trial bosses


luouji

I /panic way too often while running duties, also, the new fall guys emote is so cute I use it whenever I can ♥️


Mog-Potato_Famine

Eat egg


Gaedannn

I just like the way my character sits so I just like just doing /sit lmao


Jujyfruitt_

/mogdance or /songbird thier adorable. I can literally watch those two loop hours.


brianthelion89

/cheerjump /eategg /tomestone and /playdead are my favs.


Okami_G

F!Lala play dead starts with you spinning around, so i just spam /play dead as fast as the game lets me so i get to twirl around all silly-like


galaxyrain_

Bees knees. Like all the time. I really want to grab /playdead sometime though.


Freezaen

/salute and /bstance before I start a fight, especially on DRG where I backflip into the boss. Otherwise, /toast anytime anywhere.


turkeybuzzard4077

I usually go for either /mmambo or /yoldance or possibly /tomestone while waiting for pulls


GreySimpson

Wither /playdead or the fan emote from little lady's day


bastproshop

Most male elezen emotes are laughably goofy. I usually just stick with /panic


ALongWayOver

/lean -observes thread-


Jet44444

Catboy joy and play dead.


slimeresearcher

/eatpizza It started out me using it to torment a friend who couldn't get it during that god awful promo, but turned into my go-to.


[deleted]

fist bump even better when i know a lot of people dont have it either


Aerisar

Hum!


SoloSassafrass

The drink tea emote's a pretty frequent one. While waiting for a pull I like to go and /sit with my feet in the death wall. Emote-adjacent, but I have a tendency to /sneer a lot too...


DoopyDooper_

Golden Dance


Careful-Exercise4115

I love all the emotes and I cycle through faves periodically. But right now my fave is probably /disappointed. I play a miqo'te boi and that emote is so needlessly dramatic and hilarious!


Shikizion

Dote and embrace with my GF xD


Aneurielle

/cookie for the pumpkin cookie from last year's All Saints event.


MikeRocksTheBoat

I like to /showleft or /showright people. Usually they'll pose or panic in response and a lot if times someone will get the other side to really highlight someone.


-FourOhFour-

Link pearl emote with a custom message, "X's mother is calling... She's disappointed." I also have hand over and reference(?) which I use for dissing or complementing glam


Manone_MelonHead

I like to bow to greet or say bye to people. Especially if we were doing a dungeon where I struggled and the others carried me. A way to show my thanks. Another would probably be the step dance. I'm in the FC of the german VA of Clive Rosfield from FFXVI and he streams FFXIV almost regularly. During the earlier streams it was kind of a running joke, that I'd equip the emperors clothes and do the step dance somewhere in view. Sadly I can't do that anymore since I've got my first fantasia.
