So, whats left of the original FFXIV?

Really? I didn't know they said anything about swimming but the last thing I heard about jumping was that they nixed it. Unless, that is, they chanced their mind in which case kudos for them and us!

Now that you mention it, you are right. I really didn't think of it that way. Perhaps they can implement some climbing parts to certain ledges so we do not have to keep going the long way around things.... Or even simply to allow us to interact with the environment more.

I also heard a rumor that SE was going to redesign the Black Shroud. Any truth to that?

Yoshida mentioned that he think about a underwater zone in a expansion pack for later.
Jumping is confirmed. You can cancel a cast with jump.

Ah, I see, I see. So there were new developments. Thanks for updating me. ^^

Hmm... I do hope that the swimming will be available for more than just the underwater zone. That being said, an underwater zone sounds really cool. o . o;
