I'm just wondering, are our toons going to have frozen faces,
or will facial expressions be included in some of the emotes?
I realize having the faces change would be very difficult, maybe even impossible, and I won't be too disappointed if our faces don't change, but it would be nice if there were a few changes possible.
You know if I make a character with a sonic blast. Pick the face as the starting point and choose an animation that looks like a primal scream, but he does it with his mouth closed. It's kind of weird and a little disappointing.
Also if we don't emote, I'll tend to pick faces that don't show emotion
because there's no one emotion that's I'm always going to want to show.
If you do emote, and allow changes to the proportions of facial features,
you might not need as many different faces,
because we can do more with fewer.

Some of the seemingly harmless expressions in CO are... terrifying.
Might be good to keep them... subtle, in CoT.
Be Well!

FFXIV has some okay ones. Also, I like how you can talk if you choose too.

I figure we'll have some improvements over CoH like moving/blinking eyes and we might get some "body stance" options that affect the basic expression on our faces. I'd be amazed if we get full manual control over our faces via emotes but I suppose anything's possible. In lieu of that we might get a few generic "talk, sing and/or yell" emotes that would make our mouths move in simple ways.

That would be cool Lothic
But what I really had in mind was power animations that include face changes.
That's why I talked specifically about a Sonic Attack.

If they provided for generic "talk" or "yell" emotes then the basic animation for "opening the mouth" would exist in the game. It would then be a simple matter of hardcoding that same mouth movement to go with choosing to have an attack be "mouth-based". Thus the emotes I suggested would almost automatically allow for your mouth-based sonic attack.

Right.
So you say it's possible.
We seem to agree that it's desirable.
I'm just asking the Devs if it's going to happen.
And hoping they say yes.
If not at launch then eventually.

I think CoT should offer standard faces with creations and SELL expressions for cold hard cash.
Just a little money maker for continued development.
