Commands

FFXI offers a variety of text commands players can use to interact with the game world, other players, and employ in macros. These are all preceded by a "/" and are typed into the text box like dialogue. The various different type of text commands can be broken down into a few categories. A list of commands and their uses can be listed using the unique command /?

Emotes[]

An emote is a command used by the player to express emotion and add a little flavor to his/her dialogue. There are two types of emotes.

1. Built-in emote commands, such as smile or salute.
   1. Typing in a built-in emote with the word "motion" after it will perform the emote without putting text into the chat log.
   2. Typing a built-in emote with the word "text" after it will display the text in the chat log without performing the motion.
2. Typing /em followed by text will do a custom emote without animation.
   Example: /em points at a large bird in the sky.
   You would see this: <Name> points at a large bird in the sky.

Job-Specific Emotes[]

Job-specific emotes were made available with the December 06, 2010 update. These are executed by using

/jobemote [job]

The February 19th, 2015 Version Update removed the requirement to complete job-specific Trial of the Magians quests to unlock these. For standard jobs, all players receive the corresponding Job Gesture key items automatically. For unlockable jobs, the Job Gesture and corresponding emote are unlocked alongside that job.

The "motion" keyword does not work with /jobemote. Typing in /jobemote with the word "motion" after it will still perform the emote, but unlike with the other "/emote motion" commands, it will still display the normal chat log text associated with that emote.
