There's been discussion of jumping.. but I want to talk about climbing. If you have been to the large open area of Coerthas you have seen those big mountains and cliff faces. It would be so cool to be able to climb up them like a rock climber and get to the top. I think it would add a great sense of exploration and adventure. Don't you?

I prefer diving, off one of those huge cliffs near by a waterfall O.o
But, yes climbing would, but that would feel way to off for FF, let alone a MMORPG, at least to me. <.< -

Maybe climbing ladders~
I remember that ladder in Phomiuna Aqueducts in XI, that was interesting because it went 1st person when you did it. It felt like I was playing Myst or something like that xD -

Diving would be incredible, along with swimming. Innovation. It wouldn't feel like FF until they did it.

I mentioned this somewhere else I don't remember where.. but swimming in the ocean and lakes to Spearfish would be pretty fricking cool >.>

If I'm stupid enough to get to mess around on the edge of a mountain, then let me pay the price by falling to my death. As pretty as the terrain is, there's something rather annoying about invisible safety rails everywhere.

Jumping, swimming, and climbing would be immersive to have. Yes, alot of it would be somewhat useless for the most part but it is a nice addition. I think something like this should wait until an expansion or something unfortunately.. Mainly with swimming.

I totally support all these things. I think climbing over small rocks a la Call of Duty would make more sense visually than contextual jumping too, so I'd like climbing to be incorporated alot. Also, imagine the new dimensions it could add to exploration? This is an MMO after all, exploration should be on of its key features. Why make a huge world if it is only to be utilised in a very monotonous way, i.e., by walking all over it.
I would like swimming just as much, however, I'd like to point out that Crystal Tools Engine cannot render water worth a damn, so I'm sure we will never see swimming until the engine is improved. -

About those invisible safety rails -- they also get in the way of just plain old running through regions like Thanalan. You can't even run off the tops of hills with a sheer face of over a certain height, even though monsters can.
