There better be restrictions on jumping, at least. D:

Cooldown timers, not allowed for titanium-clad armored gladiators, etc.

Don't be silly. The closest you'll get to a restriction is that jumping won't be very high in the air. This is SE after all whom has generally good design taste, jumping will only be for interrupting spells and getting over ledges, NOT cheer leading Miqo'tes. LOL.

I laugh at the jump hate a long time considering it's a no brain feature in new MMOs. BioWare was even recently criticized by their fans for no jumping in DA2, guess what? It's in ME3 now.

It's an industry standard, get used to it you circa 1990 gamers. XD

It's not an industry standard to put in a feature that serves no purpose most of the time. It's just throwing in a feature for the sake of it. ME already had a jump/vault feature, it's just being extended for ME3 and not because it wasn't present in DA2.

The purpose of what? Entertainment? Please whether it's added because someone wants it there, or because it's tied directly to gameplay, or because someone wants it there and ties it directly to gameplay doesn't really matter. Play chicken or the egg all day long if you want, it doesn't matter in the end.

it is fine to use jump key as canceling the spell, I just hope that the mage doesn't really does jump animation whenever you cancel the spell <,<.

As long as Jump doesn't interfere with normal play, I'm neutral on the matter, though if people want it, be my guest.

And whoever posted that Tidus laugh...I hate you for rubbing my curiosity to listen to him laughing for 10 minutes with fitting music in the background.

There is no reason why jump can't be a battle mechanic that is both timing based and dice-checked at the same time. Relegating the MMO to only menu and action bar gameplay is backwards and can't last forever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXLNC7w1aQA&hd=1

Jumping is Jumping

It IS a FREE JUMP System

Agreed. Personally, i am totally against a jump button. As the game stand now and will probably be after the autoattack is implemented, there is no reason to add it for gameplay sakes.
And im pretty sure i'll gouge my eyes out when im at the leve-counter and everyone is jumping up and down.

All the anti-jumping arguments remind me of all the album fanatics whining about the new & unwanted CD and how they're going to ruin the music world.

So now WHAT exactly was so hard to understand on that sentence? They had it in several letters so far that they are still thinking about a jump feature and if it makes sense...so what is wrong with everyone...this is neither a confirmation nor a denial that jump will/could come...so don't jump the gun and start to listen to what people say for a change.

Maybe you have been told already but before telling people they need reading comprehension, you need some too.

Being able to jump can allow for some nice battle mechanics that couldn't be done w/o jumping. But then jumping should be on some sort of cooldown as any other ability. We shouldn't be able to jump for the sake of jumping!

Once doesn't imply IT WILL be 100%. No other community had any kind of confirmation that jump will be implemented and no community jumped on the "so called confirmation here" that jump will be in the game. Not to mention if jump would be coming 100%, there would be some kind of response in the JP Board...as long as there isn't, this is nothing confirmed for me. AND not to mention that there are topics about jump and if there would be some sort of "this is coming 100%" the Com Rep could have posted something there!

Wow... Denial seems to be the preferred locale for vacations this summer. This isn't JUST another community, this is the official FFXIV forums bucko. So the Japanese forums are the only place where people can get REAL news in this place? How awesome to know that Bayohne's job doesn't really mean much of anything. Come on now.

And I can think of a very good reason for why they may not come out and say it black on white that jump is coming, this community WILL implode in a raging debate the epicness of which no end game will ever come close to ever achieving.

I hope so, since that's all people want jump for -- an animation since that's the purpose it serves in most MMOs lol.

I love your posts, Cendres. <3

Tis true, best to ease into the news and lessen the blow. Cause the day that jump is officially announced, it's gonna stir up a hornet's nest.

Those of you who are in denial that a Final Fantasy title will ever include a dedicated jump button, it's coming in FFXIII-2.

Quote:

The developers also want players to have more control over their character and a larger variety of experiences in the game, which explains the inclusion of a jump button (the first in the numbered FINAL FANTASY series’ long history), which can be used to find hidden chests. (Source)

Denial of what? I included first and foremost that a jump ability would allow for nice mechanics in battles etc...so how does my post imply I'm totally against jump? Read and post again...you're so blind of "supporting jump" that everybody who doesn't see Bayohnes post as 100% confirmation is already a troll...

Plus I don't care that this is just as much as an official forum, as the JP and the others boards are. NO other forum started the discussion about jump being implemented yet, so it's something that is limited to the english community so far. There is no official post from devs, there is no official news or whatsoever...as long as that doesn't happen, it's not 100% for me and you could give a crap about if if you wouldn't be much more of a troll than you accuse me for being one...
