Can we get more Jumping Puzzles please ?

[Chronotrigger]

I first fell in love with Jumping Puzzles in GW2 where i spent countless hours on completing them.

That's why i was really excited when i first encountered the Jumping Puzzle in Kugane or the event jumping puzzles.
I just wish there would be much more of them in FF14.
The world itself has enough space for more such puzzles and the costs to implement them is are rather low compared to other content.

I'm sure many other players would also love to see more Jumping Puzzles !

Do the one in Ratz-at-Han if you haven't yet. It's a really fun one with multiple directions you can take. It leads to a beautiful roof garden. c:

Please no, I absolutely hate jumping puzzles.

A lot of aether currents in SB involved jumping puzzles and it was torture. After that they started making currents easier and easier to get, so they did move away from that.

there's a jumping tower in Shirogane too btw, the lighthouse or something.

Can we get some better physics for them first? Having to figure out which platforms let you stand two feet off the edge, which ones require pixel-perfect landings, which overhangs you can jump through vs which ones will push you away, and whatever other odd quirks are in the way, isn't much fun to me.

I can't do a jump puzzle to save my life, but they make a lot of people happy and I can tell it's very fun for them even if they fall a bunch of times since once they finally get to the top, they feel a bit proud and even take little victory screenshots. I think it's very cute. Cute, harmless, wholesome fun. So even more of them would be great. Bigger challenges too, for those who are quite skilled at it.

I know, I know.. 'waah but I cant do it noww mememe since i cant do it they need to stop it!!' Awful mindset to have. Let others enjoy things.
'well if they just fixed the game-!!' and if I could just be 1 foot taller everything would change for me too, I get it. Let others enjoy things anyway.

While I love jumping puzzles, especially from GW2, the jumping engine/bounding boxes in FFXIV are not built for them. They need to severely overhaul how jumping even works. You can see what I mean in Kugane, or especially after clearing the 2.0 sightseeing log.

So, while I agree, I also caution to keep in mind what this would mean and what would be needed to make actual enjoyable content. As is, the jumping engine (and to an extent their racing engine) are just not well designed.

It's like trying to host a Lan Party at your house using janky wi-fi. It's not that the game itself is bad, it's that the hardware to support play needs work to make it enjoyable/playable.

That's exactly why I hate jumping puzzles in XIV. GW2 was build for it, here it isn't. Kugane Tower was horrible and I hope it does in a fire.

Jumping puzzles are fun. I had a lot of fun doing all of SWTOR's many, Rift had a few that were fun, and the simple puzzle in XIV's Falcon's nest was also fun - the Aether up on the bridge less so. heh.

I think I have a neko in my genes, in all MMOs I am the sort who wants to get to the high, impossible to reach places.

I hope we see many more, for people who like them!

The way jumps work in GW2 makes the jumping puzzles more fun. With how ffxiv works i haven't even bothered with kugane tower.

And I've done the diving challenge for hidden base in GW2 where you got to finish a jumping puzzle, then jump blindly through a fake wall into a tiny pond.
