Only on a Final Fantasy Forum...

Hey guys, I know! Let's all get really upset and miserable and depressed on an internet forum about a video game! Doesn't THAT sound like a great time? WOOHOO!

Pick you up at 8!

Now I quoted this to point out something. Nothing negative, just some observations. I can totally see how swimming and climbing could potentially be a way to explore some new area's of the world. It can easily go up there with the airships and boats.

What I don't see is how jumping can lead to more exploration? The hell would I be doing, jumping up a wall to the clouds up above where fairies dance? I don't see a practical application for jumping besides a jump to occur automatically when a small hill or short fall is required.

Couldn't you say the same thing for every motion?

It's all just as futile when you put it that way.

At least jump adds a sense of accomplishment since you actually have to manually get to the area as opposed to just running along a pre-determined linear path.
