Realism, in a world where I haven't intentionally jumped since I was a in elementary school? I don't jump over rocks I walk around them. Thats realism.

I hope so too. I could do without every other Lalafel hopping around waiting for a party, trying to sell their overpriced junk, or advertising their horrible gil selling sites.

I don't know if this exactly is a great argument, but even to non-gamers this game's lack of jump makes it look totally embarrassing.

you understood exactly what I meant.

lol Cairdeas you sound like my gran, boring and old. And i 100% agree with BruceyBruceyBangBang and the other dude about walking up hill

...Well, if you say jumping is going to add realism, one would assume that you would want to be realistic with the actual aspect of jumping and comparisons with the pre-existing fantasy aspects of the game would have nothing to do with it.

So keep walking around it once they implement jump, because the rest of us who are fit IRL can and do jump over things.
