Jumping confirmed

[Zoltan]

There will obviously be jumping related things. Would be nice to jump up and fight on top of a giant enemy for some phase of a large-scale battle.

It's like the stupid giant cake, they wouldn't add it if they didn't have any plans for it.

I don't believe it. Unless, by chance, you are a developer at Square Enix?

Why would that be nice?

Seems pointless. Fix party alliances, loot drop management, looking for group, linkshell management, server lag, /random, inventory sorting, AH and a multitude of other issues before even comtemplating the addition of jump.

On second thought, just fix the problems and forget about jump.

You do know they have over 200 staff working on different things in teams right??? not one person working on Jump & everything else? w

That stuff is coming before jumping, it's not even coming until 2.0 and the map revamps are going to be taking advantage of the fact that we'll be able to jump. You'll be able to have fluid character movement and exploration and adding jump allows for new battle mechanics.

The team working on the current game is separate from the one working on 2.0, so working on jump wont delay stuff that is coming before then.
