    "I don't want to see people jump around like rabbits, it's breaking my immersion so bad"

    It's so much more realistic and immersive to have to walk all the way around a small little bush or rock or a 6 inches high fence, not being able to jump up a small little hill and having to walk around until you find a path getting you up that small hill...

    and as thousands of games from every genre proved for decades, jumping is fun and can be use in many many ways.

    so let's sacrifice another great feature for the sake of "immersion"

    "I never wanna see my character swim, it's so unrealistic to think i could swim with a chainmail armor"

    Yet it is much more realistic to carry 100 pieces of armor weighting a ton in a small big attached to your belt..... or invisible bag wtv...


    " I don't want to see you carry around a sword with flames all around it, it's so bright it's breaking my immersion, go play WOW!"

    It's probably better to have a plain ugly simple steel sword and yet be able to throw fire and ice out of thin air... much more realistic.... we sure don't want any
    FANTASY weapons and armor in a Final FANTASY game... right...


    It's crazy how closed minded so many people are and how they are ready to kill any FUN idea for the sake of their absolute immersion....

    Ohhhh so now we get to the REAL issue. That's all you had to say. For the record I disagree with flaming swords and torches on your shoulderpads because it looks stupid, not because it's fantasy. Jumping/Swimming idc about. I can live with or without it. What breaks my immersion is how shitty the game's world is.
