Occasionally I come across messages which seem to follow a template which I don't have available to me (for example, see the below screenshot).
How do you leave messages like this? Can you acquire more complex message templates somehow?
While in the message menu, press "Y" (Xbox) or Triangle (PlayStation) to cycle through the different template/gesture combinations.
This includes the "simple" template (one phrase with a blank to fill), and the "complex" template (two phrases with blanks to fill, linked by a conjunctive word/phrase).
