It could add a small element of platforming. We're not talking super mario world, but certain obstacles could be "jumped" over adding a level of realism in a game you otherwise feel glued to the ground. Have you ran up any terrain recently? Ones that make you go, wow i just seriously walked flat uphill.

Realism, in a world where I haven't intentionally jumped since I was a in elementary school? I don't jump over rocks I walk around them. Thats realism.

They tied comparisons with WoW and believed it'd be spammed to death. And sure enough it was... for 3 days after introduction. Then people got bored with it and used it appropriately :P I'm hoping that's the trend in XIV.

I hope so too. I could do without every other Lalafel hopping around waiting for a party, trying to sell their overpriced junk, or advertising their horrible gil selling sites.

You also don't cast spells on 25 legged monsters. Point?

Had a friend come inside and have a drink waiting for our other friend to arrive. I was running to Nanawa Mines to log off so I could do my loose leves the next time I signed on. My friend was watching me over my shoulder, he is not a gamer btw, when he saw me running up hills from Black Brush to the mines he kept laughing and asked me to do it again. I don't know if this exactly is a great argument, but even to non-gamers this game's lack of jump makes it look totally embarrassing.

you understood exactly what I meant.

lol Cairdeas you sound like my gran, boring and old. And i 100% agree with BruceyBruceyBangBang and the other dude about walking up hill

...Well, if you say jumping is going to add realism, one would assume that you would want to be realistic with the actual aspect of jumping and comparisons with the pre-existing fantasy aspects of the game would have nothing to do with it.

Yep. Finally someone at SE who actually wants to modernize their games.

So keep walking around it once they implement jump, because the rest of us who are fit IRL can and do jump over things.
