Or go play that game instead when it comes out.

This would not suit XIV, although I wouldnt mind a jump I wouldnt want it like this.

Last time I checked we weren't playing man sized sugar gliders.

I also felt the presence of a Blade and Soul clip coming before I even copy/pasted your link.

I want JUMP too, but small one, I don't want that kind of "Super Marvel JUMP"

allow me to run as fast as this game please...

why everything in XIV are sloooooowwwww like tortoises?

They flew around in the R46 cut scene.

they were?
i must be blind, because to me it seemed just like one single high jump, and that was the npc with the knieves.

high jumps are like totally normal in cutscenes or automatic jumps for FF.
apperantly you got high jumps in form of abilities aswell in FFXI/FFXIV.

That would be fun on console after a few beers and bongs, could get old after an hour.

Oh my god! Yes!! In a Final Fantasy environment, it would be awesome!! Just like FF Advent Children, haha!

That is not jumping, that is dragon ball. No thanks..

Agreed.

Another gifthorse thread, so lets put the appropriate response: Today I rode a dinosaur to work, it smelled purple.

So this is how blade and soul gameplay looks like? Meh. I expected real action combat but that's just the old key pressing with no combos or anything, from what i could see.
And the endless jumps they have are horrendous. "Dragon ball" fits it pretty much.

Agreed, this would make FFXIV ridiculous....
I don't want to see my character flying around like its nothing.

i still would welcome an "autoclimb" or autojump feature, to get over bigger obstacles or climb "small" hights.
But that would mean new animation and so i rather have the battle/job system in a great shape as well as content.
After this i dont mind them working on that feature.

That would be like telling a troll to stop trolling.

@OP:

http://pwi.perfectworld.com/

There ya go, pretty similar mechanics.

I think the OP's video links have made the point better than I ever could have that jumping should NOT be in FFXIV.

Reminds me of that game Prototype, and just like Prototype, it would be fun for only about 10 minutes.

Also, +1 to Zantetsuken for his signature.

Those characters look so freaking derptastic when they float through the air.

In other words.. No thanks.

Calling Jump being an emote in XIV.

Well, unless SE remaps the controls on the controller. It won't be anything but a emote. There wouldn't be any reason for SE to put jump to the spacebar like every other game out there, because then controller users would have to actively use the keyboard to play. Which then begs the question, why aren't they just using a keyboard + mouse in the first place?

Which kind of goes against the whole controller based game play setup they have right now.

Personally, its not the PS3 bringing this game down (functionally), its the controller. It's far far inferior to the keyboard and mouse. Which, I'm not trying to spark a controller vs keyboard debate, but yea. Look at XIV's UI and really try to understand their design decisions. If you get it, you'll face palm at how bad the controller ties the game down.

what's wrong with unrealistic combat movement? that's what we call games and fantasy

Dissidia's combat and movement >>>>>> FFXIV's

Dissidia is a fighting game.. :p

Nothing. What's wrong with not liking unrealistic combat movement?

I played PW long enough to get tired of those huge jumps, but at least in PW, you actually flew (wings/flying devices/creatures) and not randomly floated in the air.

I just want to jump. That's all. This game limits me in so many ways and movement is following the same trend. I'm so disappointed that they just forgot about it after the first batch of producer letters that were full of bs info.

Game doesn't need jump, I'd welcome it though, a free-accessible jump that is.
What we're going to get is going to be fuel for the fire tbh.

if you don't want it just don't jump when they implement jumping to the game

If they design some dungeons/landscapes after it? Sure. But looking at the current landscape, there seems to be no reason for it. Personally I still think an auto-jump would work better for this style of game.

this style of game need free jump

Means people who do want jump can't complain when it has no purpose :D

(Gotta design the game so you're not force to do it, aka "Just don't jump if you don't like it.")

I wouldn't mind this as well, but where and how will they implement that on the current controls?
Perhaps remapping the controls completely is needed.
