One thing that always kinda bugged me is how emotes generally work. I dunno if any games have done this yet cause I'm not to familiar with a lot of the emotes in a lot of the games. But as an example. It would be great to be able to use a sit emote and while you are sitting. You can do something like use the Wave emote and actually wave from your sitting position. Or any other hand gesture emotes. Rather then stand up and wave. Be awesome if you could use a guitar emote while sitting. Or doing a wall lean emote.

They might be able to come up with some class of multi-layered "locking" emote that would preserve a certain body position so that other emotes would only add to the initial locking emote. For example there's the basic "wave" emote. But if you're sitting (using an emote that could lock your body into maintaining the sit) then using the "wave" would effectively make you do a "sitting wave".
The main problem with that idea is that to look acceptable something like a "playing a guitar while sitting" emote would probably still have to be done as its own uniquely animated emote instead of trying to "merge" the standard sit with the standard "playing a guitar while standing" emote. They might be able to cleanly morph/merge a few combo emotes together with a locking emote idea, but it probably wouldn't be enough to gain any real advantage over just coming up with a bunch of completely unique emotes.

I know that WoW and FF14 do this for *some* of their emotes. I believe that they are *not* unique in this though.
Hell, they even have different sitting emotes, that change according to the surface you are sitting on.
