Jumping Risk Assessment

The only people who should be able to jump in combat is Dragoon. But thats an activated ability. Not a function of travel that players have free control over.

Actually, it is a waste of time if it serves no real purpose.

Now here's a quote I can agree with. Jump doesn't add anything to the game, meaning gameplay. So, now you can jump? So what. Also once jump is released it makes sense that the dev team will completely ignore it. In fact, they will probably forget they ever added it, so that future additions to the game like other zones or dungeons will not use jump. Makes perfect sense, and that is why it is in fact a waste of time like Lerris has so eloquently stated.

This too makes sense. Dragoon Jump is a long established ability in my brain too. When I think of a Dragoon jumping it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable inside my jump-free comfort bubble at all.

Most importantly, jump is a "function of travel". People that want to see jump added need to realize that jump is a function of travel. And that's why jump should not be added.

EXACTLY! If it serves no real purpose, then it is in fact a waste of time. Since jumping serves no real purpose, it must therefore be a waste of time. If A is B, and B is C, then A is also C. Obvious.

Why so defensive? I'm sure SE had a good reason to make it lower priority than it was before. :P I mean, at least its still being considered.

+1 to Implementing Jump!

Hey neptune this made me Lol hard idk why but it was so funny to me

traversing different elevations of terrain is more then enough of a reason for me. Once implemented it can then be used in boss battles as well. But jump is a no no word so i really could give a shite either way at this point. I want my battle system overhaul and everything else, but jump would be a nice bonus if it were implemented later, like maybe when they burn down gridania so we can hop over charred marmots.
edit: or awkwardly glide over them like we do cliffs, i really could care less anymore. Awkward cliff glide=OK! jump= BURN!

Jump should not be used in Combat except by Dragoons.

well hopefully we get dragoons huh? and Jump the ability can be used to dump hate why cant everyone dodge ground effects with jump?

This is terrible thread and a retarded opening post have your game, with no jumping it's doomed anyway, and people like you are sad little creatures that will never learn.
