Long-running live service games are bound to get glitches and bugs occasionally, and Final Fantasy 14 is no different. A recent glitch in Final Fantasy 14 has caused some players to have muted animations during emotes, leading to some hilarious, wiggling dances.

The glitch itself is not too difficult to replicate. While in the /gpose function of the game, simply hit the “Pause Emote” command immediately after switching to a new emote. Doing this will cause the emote to perform muted, instead of pausing it completely. Using this glitch, players can also spawn in items created in certain emotes, like in the broom from the /sweep animation, and keep it during other animations. Players don’t know exactly why this bug is occurring in Final Fantasy 14, but they are certainly having a good time with it while it lasts.

Players are being sure to play around with this glitch as much as possible before it is gone. The results are laughably goofy, though other dances
