Jump Fatigue {Can I Have It}

[Ark_mage2]

There are people who when asking about the status of this game ask about jump. To many current non-FFXIV players its lack of jump in this day and age is a sign of its lack of direction and inability to compete. If the lack of jumping was a deal breaker for any FFXIV players there would have and did already leave by now, along with the 90% of other players who have left. Also, the zones are being redesigned, and I am sure that part of that redesign will end up factoring in the jumping mechanic. It is not a coincidence that the redesign and jumping are both on the to do list. SE isn't going to pointlessly implement jumping, and it isn't going to harm the playerbase in either the short or long term.

Thanks for this good post. Now i dont have to ask myself anymore why the most new games are redundant and why i dont find a really good game like ff1-9, grandia etc. anymore. I'm to old xD

I know that. But it wasnt a game breaker for anybody without jumping. It makes no sense and its useless.. but nevermind.. only hope you wow guys enjoy this game as long as i would like to. I'm only trying to say that you are definitly not going to like jump in the way ffxiv is. (sry for my ba
d english)

You have no idea how jump is going to be implemented, or the potential to expand the feature.

And really, if variety is going to elicit cries of World Of Warcraft, this game will never get better.

No to pointless limitations. That's the sort of thing that got this game in such a mess in the first place.

Vagrant Story had jumping!
So did Super Mario RPG!

Its just so hilarious how intolerent some people are. If SE added some silly limitation everytime someone found something to be annoying, many people on these forums would have posting fatigue because I find some of you to be obnoxious. You're right, this ISN'T WoW so why do you think that if they add jump it will be as bad as you think WoW jumping is? Seriously, get over it, as long as this is an MMO you are going to be dealing with at least a few people you don't like, aka "bunny hoppers". Lol.

It's annoying that they said it's not going to really add to any gameplay. What they said really if you read between the lines is "We iz addin jumpin cuz we fink its kool 2 b able 2 jump dont go h8in us cuz we tryin 2 make a bttr game"..

On a serious note, I can't see why it shouldn't be added for jumping large gaps in around the world, like from one cliff to another, or climbing mountains for something awesome at the top (NM or something, who knows).. They're wasting their time if it's not for gameplay.

Bolded the part I agree with.

For the record, I have never played WoW. However, I will point out that associating people who are ok with or actively want jump as WoW players identifies what I feel to be a closed-minded ignorance that plagues the XI community refugees that have found their way here to XIV. Those guys are the problem here, not the other way around and they will hurt this game more than they will ever help it.

I didn't like Vagrant Story and didn't play Super Mario RPG :P but what i mean is: today a game needs to be open-world, have jump, awesome graphics, and endless action to be good. So most of the games are the same. I gave up my hopes for really good games long time ago.

My only hope is the possibility of deactivating jump, so I don't have to see ppl jumping around with their awesome looking FINAL FANTASY(!!!) characters.

Because they have to redesign the whole game to make this possible. And seriously, I never wanted a game like this. I like the actual game feeling. This game is something different to other MMORPG's - just let it be a Final Fantasy
