The jump potion differs because it flags everything as completed in the proper order. What you're asking is they essentially break apart say, 2.1-2.55 and jump straight ahead to Ishgard the moment you finish The Praetorium. Others have suggested adding a new quest wholesale that lets you skip to certain parts. Coding doesn't work like that. By adding new elements, you risk breaking the entire system because it wasn't originally designed to operate that way. None of this even factors is any story condensing requires new animations and scripts to retain narrative coherency.
