    The Keyboard is not an analog controller. The Mouse is.

    An analog controller you can direct how far and how fast you want to go into the jump. The keyboard only lets you "jump" with 100% momentum. Literately Keyboard jumps are identical to NES/SNES era jumps in Mario games, where you control your landing by leaning into or against the amount of airtime you get from the jump.

    FFXIV's jumps are not that, they are just one jump of a single momentum, you jump the same distance regardless you are standing or running, and can neither lean in or against your landing. I don't know of any PC game that lets you jump in 3D space the same way of a mario game. Those that offer some kind of mario-ness to them are typically console game ports and are best played with a controller since they were designed around it.

    I've not played Mario games tbh, but both WildStar and GW2 let you adjust your jump as you are jumping. WS even has double-jumping

    The main issue with jump based puzzles in MMO's is you can never get solid control of your jumps the way you can in platform games.
    Except in Guild Wars 2. That one seems to have some actual jump control.
