Only on a Final Fantasy Forum...

03-12-2011, 04:51 PMKimahriNow I quoted this to point out something. Nothing negative, just some observations. I can totally see how swimming and climbing could potentially be a way to explore some new area's of the world. It can easily go up there with the airships and boats.Quote:

At least jump adds a sense of accomplishment since you actually have to manually get to the area as opposed to just running along a pre-determined linear path. -

That instead of demanding the introduction of platforming mechanics in a MMORPG, that normally tend to look extremely awkward, and to frustrate to no end the (many) that don't enjoy that kind of gameplay belonging to another genre? -

So you use the thread (that you say it's not about jumping) to argue about jumping, but others can't? Or maybe arguing FOR jumping is somehow "in topic", while arguing against it is magically "off topic"?
By the way, starting a thread on a discussion forum doesn't make it "yours". The forum doesn't belong to you, including all it's assets, threads started by you as well.
You can't really tell people that disagree with you to "go away".
