It sure looked useful in the gameplay video.

It would be quite easy to implement jump into something useful for a example, Titan is using earthquake, jump in time to avoid most of the dmg :p.
This is really hard to implement in a MMO due to latency. WoW did this on a boss called Asaad in Vortex Pinnacle he would use a move called "static cling" he would start casting and electrocute the ground which would bind everyone that got hit by it. To avoid it you had to jump when his cast went off. However even though the WoW servers are in the US the game is responsive it even with a 100 or so MS response time this mechanic was very hard to pull off. On your screen you would see your character in the air when the move is going off but yet you would still get hit by it. To account for lag you actually had to jump extra early before he used the move to not get hit by it. They actually had an achievement for not getting hit by it.
Jumping to avoid stuff is fine in single player games works, doesn't work so well at all in mmos.
omgawd boob physics!
yes!
If they dont limit jump and change the grass im quitting this game and taking my linkshell with me.
Yeah, but now that it's in the game there's no avoiding it in at least one fight/battlefield, you know SE "hates being wasteful".
Lol, the "community" cried for jump an' there ain't no way they're gonna waste more time/money trying to "limit" it now that it's there.
I have to agree, all the jumping in the video was annoying as hell...
I have an idea, if anyone sees Rokien in game in 2.0, just jump repeatedly in front of him. I just may make a character on his server JUST to do this.
FFXIV will make you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPB84Plv8tc
Rokien, stop. Just stop.
In all the games I have played and all the time I spent playing them I have not seen many people (I can probly count on 2 hands) jumping around like you insist will be going on in 2.0. I do at times when i am bored or trying to grab someone's attention and you do have ur few people with ADHD who has a rapidfire spacebar but again 2 hands, over 10 years of MMOs....
You never played WoW did you? that game was/is full of ADHD mouthbreathers that constantly spammed jump while waiting in town to find groups. I was hoping that wouldn't happen here, but given the amount of jump spamming even in the gameplay footage from gamescon, I don't have much hope.
Are you retarded or just pretend to be...
and you dont know what /say is?? I feel sorry for you man.. you must have the intelligence of a fucking ant man..
You think you are funny with all your damn trolling and your constant bickering about the tiniest of things.. seriously dude get a fucking life, you honestly need it.. I play FF14 a lot but man you seriously need a new hobby..
If people leave cause of Grass texture and Jump ... then good riddance need less whiny lil kids playing this game..
I was going to say something but i seem to have forgotten what t was by the third page.
Carry on~
i honestly don't give a sh*t if people jump or pull their moogle weapons constantly.
both is annoying.
and i guess there will be always methods to annoy other people...
In the video they showed the characters jumping over gates and off cliffs. Everyone who bitched said its not needed or to limit it because it has no use. I SAW A USE. So did you.
get over the fact that there is jump and that THERE WILL NEVER BE A LIMIT!!!!
I hate that i play the same game as some of you.
Spam
