[Nikita]

Yeah, lets just go with that. >.>

[Radaghast]

I'm getting tired of sleeping on the floor because I can't jump onto my bed.

[Nikita]

We have beds!?

[Nuru]

Because of the way some of the landscaping is structured, they would either have to make your character jump really high so you can actually jump over things(which may look silly) or have it just be a small hop to make it realistic but useless at the same time.

Personally if they did it I would like to see it done in the form of a chocobo. You could rent / tame a chocobo that had the ability to jump. They could also expand this idea even FURTHER by introducing chocobo breeding ala FFVII. Maybe it was just me but I used to love breeding the chocobos. Especially when I started getting the cool ones like mountain / gold.

You could start out with a regular yellow chocobo, eventually breed it and get a mountain choco that can run up slanted cliffs, breed him to get a white chocobo that can jump and maybe glide for a few seconds. who knows, they could really have fun with the idea and make something cool. This game could use a new mechanic like this imo to break up the usual crafting leve / battle leve / behest routine that people sometimes fall into.

What is wrong with a small realistic hop to get DOWN from ledges and to hop from place to place? Small hop is not useless!

And why can't we have climb to get over higher obstacles (like Call of Duty for example).

Does it seriously just dumb down to "Why?" "Why?" "Why?"

How about "Why should I be able to jump off a cliff?"

Ever think of it that way?

I already mentioned a million reasons why they should implement jumping.

Exploration, variety, realism, acrobatics, convenience, anti-frustrating...

Why should you have to be able to jump?

The issue isn't that I ask "Why?" but rather that you cannot answer the question.

Funny that people upbraid me for asking "why" and yet that's all anti-jumpers ever do.

"You dont need jumping because there's no reason for it" is all you ever say.

Then I give a reason and the response changes to:

"You would break your ankle."

Well let me break my ankle then! I am willing to pay that price. Hmm, broken ankle or not being able to jump? Either way Im still lame!

[Rannie]

Tactics!

/morechars

yeah.. never played Tactics so I didn't know that lol didn't like the game too much ^_^

Yes, yes you are. >.>

Arguments tend to go in circles, while discussions result to some sort of conclusion. Arguing about adding jump isn't going help in SE making that decision, but finding a way to make the implementation worthwhile is what we should all be doing, hence why the nay-sayers are saying "There isn't a reason to add it yet."

Instead of saying "GRRR JUST ADD IT SE YOU STUPID DUMBNUM!" Maybe you should be asking them to implement hard to reach areas, or areas only accessable by Chocobo, Jump, etc.
