Contextual jumping is all ANY MMORPG needs, at best.

P.S. AO in XIV is indeed extremely bugged, period.

Are you saying this game lacks a z axis? It's only X and Y? I think that means we are playing a 2D game... Wow, thats so sad in the year of 2011.

I thought if a jumping system was implemented it was going to just be obstacle related, and not free jumping.

I think having an option show up near obstacles and such would be great. And I know it's a bit much to consider, but if they could get that working on the maps, I wonder if similar obstacles could be in battle as well. NOT free jumping, but prompted jumping.

(Consider the Marlboro fight in the opening movie and all the jumping presented in that. It could be prompted depending on the environment and the mob.)

I don't think it's an outrageous want. I also don't think it should be prioritized either. But, eventually, it would be nice to hop down cliffs when prompted and jump over a marlboro tentacle maybe.

....

You couldn't enter caverns or tunnels if there was no z-axis lol. There's a thing called, in plain terms "invisible barriers".

Oh I agree, since I wasn't explaining what the person was talking about or anything. Couldn't be it.

Invisible Walls are there for your protection in most cases because theres nothing valid behind the wall. Walls on most cliffs should be removed yes, but if the cliff is too high it should be a context jump of your character visibly jumping off on its own without any jump button needed.

exactly this game is so far behind it makes almost decade old mmo's look good... 2010 Next gen mmo should be able to have a dynamic world like rift jumping swimming mounts etc ....i mean seriously this content should have been in there on release....now they gotta put it in with patches....man... SE may be the worst mmo creators of all time.....

these topic doesn't deserve to has a thread to discuss in other 2010 MMO because all of these features must be basic features for every games

even a WoW clone from Taiwanese developer has them

So Free-roaming Jumping is required.

Why is it required?

Why are you playing GAMES? You obviously don't know how to have FUN.

Having an 'auto jump' feature is so much harder than implementing a space bar jump. Seriously... for every nook an cranny they will have to add that jump..

:)

Jump is coming people... It's coming. :) Our beloved ffxiv will be saved with all sorts of cool modern features and content.

I think one of the things that the developers have in mind are the people who don't have access to these forums, and who couldn't vote on things like polls, if they want to reach out to more subscribers then they will most likely be implementing more of these things that an average MMO player deems as a "basic feature".

Precisely this.

..they are going to add it; it says so ... The new devs tags are for things brought up from the new letter addressing summer 2011

I am "JUMPING" with joy and I can't wait to "JUMP" with join in the game! Roegadyn can jump like Hulk o_O

All I want is a Zelda style jump that adds some more motion to the way people are traversing the area.

So everything said in this thread goes into this phrase:

"My dog likes to smell his butt, I could smell his butt too but I don't"
Meaning that's only a Like/Dislike question, and not a Need/Don't Need one.

I'll repeat myself. Why is Free-Roaming Jump required?

I can't think of one game (mmo that's p2p) that doesn't have a jump feature in it. Atleast nothing that is big. If you guys se wants to keep the game old school whatever hopes they had of topping even the crappiest mmo will be long gone. No jumping was ok for ffxi but for a game made now in days its unheard of. Hell even guild wars which didn't have jump is now putting it into guildwars 2. mmos are just not very fun when you dont have full control of your character

They did not say that. According to plan, it will still be implemented, just later, after the more important stuff is fixed first.

I do have fun, too bad jumping doesn't equate instant fun in video games.

I love how people call the "non jumping" argument baseless.......

You want baseless? ok... I have played 20 MMORPGs pay and free that allowed free jumping, and guess what people did in every single one of them?

Bunny hopped (annoying)
Kangaroo fighting (really annoying)

and in all 20 of them, jump was not really even needed, there was nothing in any of them that really required jumping, it was just added for no real reason.

Personally, I wouldn't mind having jumping as long as it was done automatically. They've already changed the game so that your character moves over obstacles that used to block it. Why not add an automatic jump animation to make it more realistic? But that would be very low priority. Given all the other commands my controller has to be able to allow, I couldn't care less about being able to jump when I want. I do agree that "bunny hopping" and "kangaroo fighting" are extremely annoying and degrade the appearance of MMORPGs.

Jumping will be fine, so many people dislike bunny hopping and the community is really quick to enforce things (at least in FFXI) that are deemed good manners and habits. I don't anticipate seeing people hop around like in WoW and if they do, I imagine they will be brow beaten.

LIE, you're playing the game with a developer mind, not even get pass lv35 for any game, you're not a gamer, you just looking around the games for studying

There are several different kinds of players. Regardless, they play the game and that automatically makes them a player. Don't make pointless jabs at people, and try to stay on your own topic.

Jumping does not make or break the fun of a game. This is not to say that fun cannot be had with free jumping, but ultimately, it's not necessary.

That doesn't mean I do not want prompted jumping over obstacles. If it's never implemented I won't cry over it, but it would be nice that something similar to that would be brought to the game someday.

how do you people say jumping is not necessary while it is one of the most basic feature for almost every MMOs?


stop using bias as a reason

Well, Final Fantasy XIV is not almost every other MMO. It is itself. ^^;

If you really want <insert every other MMO> then...

It is MMO

stop lying to yourself

ooooh it's not MMO, it is FINAL FANTASY!!

pathetic...

Stop Referring FFXIV as an Every Other's MMO.

FFXIV is FFXIV, and it's gonna be what's gonna be. It'll be a success? It'll be a failure? Only the one that survives will understand that.
