Cause it would be too much work for little benefit, they would have to redo all the maps coding for every zone.
White Humes can't jump.
Duh.
DRG says hi.
Death to all PS2's
Getting stuck on stuff would be easily avoidable regardless of jumping or not, and it would be impossible for the PS2 to be limiting it.
Have you tried walking in 80 lbs of metal, let alone jump? I've worn 60lbs of leather armor. Jumping and swimming is not natural.
ooo this old argument -.-
On the player side, jumping is not needed, why add something that is not needed?
on the programing side, you can not just "add" jump, there is alot that has to be done in order to add it in at this point.
monks jump. tarus do backflips.
drg do jumps.
what more do you want?
What does jumping contribute to any MMO aside from cheap entertainment?
There's no real point to jumping. Those ledges and barriers that in real life we could jump over or at least climb up are designed to prevent players from going that way. Even if jumping had been implemented from the beginning, the designers would have simply made the barriers and ledges higher so you wouldn't be able to jump up to them anyway.
There are no rocks to jump across to traverse rivers, no outcrops of rock to climb up a cliff, no hidden zones or treasure by hopping onto a roof and crawling into some NPC's attic. The areas in the game were not made with that action in mind. You might as well ask to get the galka together to push that broken pillar off the stairs to Byakko, rob the shopkeepers or guild merchants, or shoot down airships with BLM spells when you're bored. Fun though they may be.
This is not to say getting a /jump animation is out of the question, but an animation is all it would be. From the game's perspective you would still be rooted to the ground and unable to hop over a discarded napkin.
Those God-awful flights of steps in Ordelle's would like a word with you. :)
I agree, jumping has it problems, it allows retards to jump around like a 5-year-old on a bouncy ball in areas like the AH, and other popular gathering places, I so hate places like Orgrimmar in WOW and 21st Hall in LoTR:O for that.
OTOH, I disagree it's "not needed", much of the terrain in the game is low steps which even a Taru could jump up, let alone the other races.
I always find myself frustrated when I come back to FFXI .. the MMO I sill love above all the others I play .. due to the tedious running around stupidly low ledges in places like La Theine and the like.
Its not like they can have a full 3d world now like current gen MMOs where you can fly around go to different areas ect. Assuming PS2 limitations on this one.
Stupid thread with a stupid question, if SE wanted to mimic other MMOs they would have. And other then traversing terrain jumping is pointless in FF11. It also defeats the purposes of the mechanisms SE placed in most zones to reach different parts of it.
SE would have more people glitching too.
next hel lwant a wetsuit so water doesnt hurt him..... we dont jump becase we dont need to jump. this ant tomb raider or zelda. this is FFXI !!!!
/kick
Why jump, when there are elevators, ramps, portals, and other such objects?
this isn't WoW... FF series never have jump com'on lol
Mario can jump.
All of the Final Fantasy Tactics games have jumping of a sort, pretty sure there's even a Jump stat.
Leaping Boots will rise again!
Although it would take a lot of work on Se's side. I don't think there would be a problem with jumping, I'm not really for or against it. There is nothing in the game currently that I wish so badly I could jump over, that I can't just go around. I do think I would rather SE put adding jumping as a very low priority though, there's a lot of other things I'd rather see first.
Vertical movement is not necessary in any video game. Go back to QQing.
I wouldn't care if they let people jump in ffxi
that being said I would hope they concentrate on making lvl 99 content playable and fun instead of a jump feature
Jumping has many legitimate uses, especially in this game where every tiny little object seems to get in your way.
I really hate people using the excuse "people will jump around like idiots for no reason." The immaturity of a few people is not a good reason to not have a feature.
On a side note, in FFXIV they were considering adding jumping.
It would be nice to get over some obstacles in the game.. like i always get stuck on the stairs in ordelle's cave and and the leujaoam sanctum assault zones.
I don't think it should be a priority right now.. especially with all the big changes they are making and with there not even being endgame content atm... I would hope they spend time on content instead of gimmicks like a jump feature.
