Jumping confirmed

[Fensfield]

Where is everyone seeing a jump video?

Yoshida held a laptop running concept jump animations up in front of the camera during the live letter, several hours ago.

Jumping in every MMO is very awkward looking, but still something that players in this day and age want. If nothing else, it proves they are listening to what the majority want, even if it's not really the best thing for the game.

i like your post cos of your sig fyi.

The jumping look dumb i don't mind if they add jumping swiming or even flying mount as long as they look good doing them,.

(╬ ಠ益ಠ) "This jump is unacceptable... Players should be able to double jump.... no... wait! Players should be able to have jet packs so when they double jump, they can use the thrusters and perform a TRIPLE JUMP!... YEAH!!!!"

Which is why I will be playing SW:TOR.

Yes i wanted jump and we are getting it... i love it now for swimming!

I was neither for nor against jumping when this came up before, but since it's being implimented... I really don't see why it has to be "realistic". We're heros in a Final Fantasy game. There are no shortage of characters making unrealistic jumps in this series.

Wow ... our characters look like they are taking jumping lessons from FFXIII characters. Jumping 2 stories high. Now they just need to add some random flips.

Unless it's required to scale things we otherwise can't walk around, it's a useless fluff feature which should be pushed to the end of the queue.

Obvious troll is obvious. We're getting it, it's in production, you lost this battle, move along.

Then again, without jump, your "moving along" does take you along longer, more awkward paths, whereas I can just bounce right over that hurdle and keep going, so I guess it's understandable you're still struggling with it while most everyone else has long since bounded over that issue.
