This is why we need jumping/falling system in FFXIV

[Corrderio]

At least not a free-jump but instead of walking over hills, they could probably pull off a FFXIII and just make the jumping based on collision.

I think that would be the best of both worlds. Though it mostly would only serve as a visual effect, nothing more.

I never played FF13, but I'll assume that only at certain/obvious points you'll be able ot jump after hitting a button.

Unless they do make the servers more responsive, that's the only way I ever see jumping work.
