IMO jump feature isn't on the wave of Final Fantasy series, being another thing that makes FF series unique. If they add jump as a regular movement, FFXIV will become a completely different game and will move away from the line of Final Fantasy Series. That's a fact.

Most people that play FFXIV is because they love Final Fantasy Series and they're proudly faithful to Final Fantasy, and that's something to keep in mind.

Every FF game has something new and different that adds to the series as a whole. No reason XIV can't be adding jump.

Soon as jump is implemented. I am going to make a 15 minute You Tube video of nothing but jumping. JUST to annoy people and point out how insane this issue is.

"OMG, MY IMMERSION!"

... It's a game people. Please don't use it as a substitute for adventure in your real life.

If I have to live with jump, I'm quite glad that Yoshi thought it was too high and over the top. Faith points restored.

I love being called an idiot and I love flagging people for it

Why can't you just get used to a jump feature? What turns you off about it so much? They have new zones they are planning, and jump might actually be a part of the new maps, NO ONE KNOWS. Like it's been said numerous times, the only "proof" you have of people spamming it is from other games and OTHER people denying that it actually happens.

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACCEPT AN OPTION TO BE ABLE TO TURN JUMPING OFF? Why the hell do you have to shove your morality down my throats and demand that I like whatever the hell you like? I have no problem if people want a jumping feature, so long as I have the option TO TURN IT OFF, why can't you accept a middle road? If I had to guess, it's probably because you're not smart enough to accept that people don't like the same thing you like.

And what is this about it being turned into an MMOP.. er what the eff is that? What are you making up now to try and prove a point? I just can't believe people are so against something like JUMP. lol you final fantasy hardcore fanboys make me laugh

Do you know what context is? Get a clue. I was quoting someone wanting 3-dimensional features, which implies they want a... MMO-PLATFORMER. That's the ONLY way jumping would be even functional, and I did not buy an MMORPG for it to just turn into some silly kiddy-platformer game.

P.S. I'm not even a FF fanboy, the only FF games I've even remotely liked were VIII, X, X-2, and XI. For the most part, I've found the FF series to be quite lacking (but hey, you'll just disregard this like another idiot and still claim I'm calling you names because you can't understand the difference between calling someone something and equating their actions with something).

Dragon you're really too invested into this.

Jumping is not a major issue. In spite of the genre, this is just a game. Quit moping over a feature other people want that has virtually no impact on actual gameplay.

Honestly, I don't care either way. I do hate invisible walls or tiny cliffs preventing my character from moving latterally over something they could easily climb or jump on. So yes, in this way jumping would be smart to impliment.

Are people going to hop around like bunnies and be annoying. Yep. But it's not as if that's not done already with emote spamming. If you're that easily broken up about something as simple as how someone else's character model moves, perhaps MMOs are not for you. There are plenty of other games that allow you to party with your friends online nowadays to have fun, and the fantasy genera is starting to pick up on the bug to. Why not play one of those instead? That way you can control your interaction with people if you feel as if you absolutely CANNOT tolerate immature behavior.

As far as implementing a feature that removes the jump animation from the game. It seems to be a rather useless feature, one that could potentially harm your gameplay if you're not seeing your fellow players jump at a needed time.

As far as finding a mechanical use for it. What about it being capable of evading low attacks? Flying enemies can evade low-to-ground attacks by virtue of dropping. Why not have some monster or player actions evaded in the same manner? This would be a good mechanic perhaps for some arena based battles at least, though, the lag issue would first have to be addressed.

A jump feature is nothing to be in arms about. Yoshi-p seems to want to make jumps look well enough to be in the game and is trying to establish a good aesthetics for it as well, and there is room for actually making it useful in an MMO environmental (bypassing poorly designed trip-ups).

Some of you people are taking this way too seriously.

MMOs are free roam. Jumping is now a standard.

Problem?
