RPGsite Interviews Yoshi P.

[Babydoll]

Jumping in MMO is fun! I like too how some MMO make it interact with the game like you need to jump to avoid damage and such. I would love to jump and swim in FFXIV ^^ I mean its not a deal breaker or something for me but it is a nice feature imho

[Jinko]

This is why I really dislike the FF mmo community sometimes. They are so against change that even adding something that would be fun like Jump and would add to the game they have to sit there and complain about it. Stuff like jumping and flying mounts are pretty standard in any MMOs now.

Agreed Jennestia is a good example :S

Hopefully when 2.0 comes out this game will pick up some real steam with casual gamers and ex FF11 players will no longer be the majority playing this game, because as you say they are really stopping the game from progressing, that being said Yoshi doesn't seem to paying them much heed.

It's not that we against wow stuff it just we know a lot of things made wow lame and killed it dungeon finder,Jump and many other stuff. I just see no point in jump not if it jumping that you only use to get over stuff and thing within the game then that fine by me.

I think on one of the new maps, there are stones in the water that you may have to "jump" across to get to the temple. I may be wrong though. I am neither for or against jumping, but there should be an option in the display settings to turn the animation on-off.

I agree or don't allow jumping within town or only jumping while in battle or something.

[Andrien]

nothing is wrong with jumping. if they implement it right from getting to point A to B it'll be even better.

Ya i agree with that but most wow players going to be mad the fact they cant go up top of stuff and jump down lol. But w/e i don't mind jumping i just hope they find room for it in a controller lol.

[Coglin]

Jump is uneccisary. Just like all this ridiculos whinning for fancy spell graphics.

The best part is clueless posers want to sit here and tell us how it will take nothing to add, and yada yada yada, showing there lack of general logic by speaking about it when they clearly have no idea what it would require.

The problem with everyone asking for all these little "shinnies" like jump/swim/spell graphics is that as soon as they see another shinny spot or object in the distance they wonder towards it, head down and unfocused like a small distracted child.

Once the children all wonder off after new shinnies, the reast of us who are here to actually enjoy the game, are left dealing with the distracting useless crap all the children whinned about until they got it. Squeeky wheel gets the grease, and all that.

[Gramul]

Because Yoshi P knows better then the majority of the FF online community that Jump would be a good feature.

Sure, but you don't TELL them that.

You never admit to your audience there input is invalid.

Problem is, jump is only an animation in the majority of MMOs that have it. It doesn't even let you bypass obstacles or explore more areas (which btw, the game has to be designed to be explorable via jump/swimming.) So all it would be is just adding an animation.

It certainly isn't only an animation in a certain genre leading title. This is what I'd like to see and honestly I'll be sad if those in the stone age convince Yoshida otherwise.

Game has to be designed for it, it wouldn't promote anything really if it's just a feature slapped in (which it generally is in most games, notice how swimming segments are all generally the same?)

Slapped in or not, specific purpose or not, it needs to be added. Yoshida said it himself. He's aiming to be number one. It'll never happen with invisible walls everywhere and being chained to the ground.

He has this chance to do it right and I certainly hope he does.
