Played plenty of MMOs where mounts couldn't jump, or even had much of a speed increase and i'm pretty sure they're not inexperienced developers.
It's called system design, everyone does shit differently.

well all it shows is the developers didnt plan all far ahead and the game will be shakled in the past because developers cant develop advanced features very much like ffxi.
Difference is, the PS2 was hardware from 1998 or 1999, so they actually couldn't do much back in those days, it's not that they don't plan ahead, just sometimes you can't always do something lol. It's why when you load up an MMO not one MMO does absolutely everything or even sometimes exactly the same as another not because the developers are lazy or anything, it's because they simply didn't design the game that way is all.
My question is, if I'm mounted can't I ramp it?
in 10 years ps3 will hold ffxiv back?
Mounts should be able to jump just like you should be able to climb a mountain and jump off it if you want, other games have these things and its not about being like other games its about allowing the freedom to do whatever you want, in the first few games that was what I loved the most.
It would be nice if they could jump :) I guess we'll have to wait and see!
