Noborist: The Art of Climbing!

People standing or sitting in crazy areas. A Lala sitting atop a roof where no person usually is. A Miqo'te dancing on the high wire in Mor Dhona. (Pretty sure it no longer exists, but I remember it well!)

There are always those out there that love to explore everything to the fullest degree, and often enough, they can find a surprise waiting for them. Anyone that jumps around looking for areas to scale that they should not be able to are termed "Noborist" in Japan, which is a combo of the Japanese word 登り, Nobori, which means to climb, and "ist", becoming Noborist.

With the upcoming 2.3 material of scoping out locations in Eorzea, I expect to see a lot more of people jumping around in very odd places. And, in honor of that, I bring you a video a friend linked to me that I found fascinating!

It is no way an easy task to do, but the effort put into it pays off in the end! I hope that the exploring SE has in store for 2.3 can be as interesting as this, of course, without the obvious glitch involved. I get the feeling that some of these glitches will always be around, and I love to see them.

Bring it on technically unexplorable parts of Eorzea! And hopefully more of these kind of posts pop up on the English forums as they do in the Japanese ones!

I'm doing this when the servers come back up after maintenance.

I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN! ARGH MY EDIT WAS TOO SLOW! lol

I love jumping puzzles! I want many of them in FF14!

(Like Guild Wars 2)

I was able to do something like that in Coerthas by the Mor Dhona zone, but then SE ruined the fun and patched it. Why SE!? It was hurting no one!

WELP. SE saw your thread.

Patch notes

An issue wherein players could move outside of the map in Old Gridania.

This is why we can't have fun things.

LOL.

Don't blame the OP though this trick is seriously old news and I already thought about a month ago that "I bet SE will remove this." and so they did. :) Sad times.
