Party Leader: We going to pull the dragon boss to the wall. Now I want everyone else to stand here so they don't get hit by breath.
Player A: Where is that I can't see you.
Party Leader: Right here where I am jumping.
Player A: I have jump turned off because it ruins my immersion and can't see you still.

well it is kinda pointless. cause you just walk over most ledges anyway. they only added jump cause the people just bitched and bitched till they added it. which that effort couldve been put to better use.

Yoshi said himself he wants to incorporate things from other mmo's. What makes a jump feature so different?

How does jump ruins immersion, when clearly you lose immersion because you CANT jump lol, it's not logical to be stuck in the ground.

It's a joke. Some people on this site like to complain about it all the time saying it ruins their immersion. The above is an example of what would happen if they let people turn it off. Which is why being able to turn it off is pretty stupid in the first place.

Semi-related, but I wonder how the "Jump" button will work for gamepad users. Spacebar or something will be the jump button for keyboard but what about those who use a gamepad? Every other button seems to be mapped out to something already.

People are making this a bigger deal than it needs to be. If people jumping around is ruins the game for you that much then either ignore it or play ffxi since thats like the only mmo without jump. Spamming jump is no different than spamming emotes so people just need to get over their entitlement issues and either enjoy the game for what it is or find something else to play.

There is nothing they can implement that will make everyone happy and in order to make the game enjoyable for as many people as possible than we all have to live with things we dont like. So sorry anti-jumpers you lost this one lets just move on and enjoy ffxiv for what it is and will become rather than dwell on this non issue

To be perfectly fair. On average how many times a day do you jump?

Now on average. How many times a day would you jump if wearing full plate armor?

Will everyone jump the same height? Will Lalafells be upgraded with T-rex legs so they can jump proportionate to a Chigger just to match a Roegadyn's gallop? Will gear dictate your maximum vertical clearance? Will it not look odd when the Paladin that is wearing a Human shaped ice breaker hull can leap as high as the nimble Thief (Its coming!) donned only in his subligar and lucky Flee Shoes?

I'm not on board with a jump button. I would be ok with terrain context sensitive smart maneuvers though. You hate that ledge? You see that log? Observe that bottomless trench? Ok good, when your character presses up against them you will automatically bramble over. With a predetermined jump height, length, and pose. Let's people feel like that are actually run through and over obstacles they would encounter in the Wilds of Final Fantasy without adding, an admittedly, useless and therefore pointless gimmick which does get on people's nerves. I've being very proud of FFXIV for keeping things down to Earth. To go the way of the retard-o zoboomafoo lop because they want the Call of Duty audience would turn my views very sour.

Not much, but when i want to jump, i will jump.

Which is what jump is all about, if i want to jump, i will press jump key. Will i keep pressing jump everytime? No, and also i am not going to argue about fantasy logic about weight and jump height. Bringing that up in the first place is......

This is the same scenario as /dance emote first implemented in FFXI, everyone spams it everywhere when it was first released and on certain occasions for fun, but it was never more than that.

Also, i don't particularly want jump either since i am not immersion nazi, but i am not going all the way to ask off button because really that is just silly.

Maybe i should also ask for display off Roegadyn and Miqotes too because jesus they are the ugliest race imo.

also while were at it, lets assign weights to every item you could have in your inventory and make the total negatively impact your maximum movespeed, sounds awesome, seriously are you trying to make SE lose money or do you not realize how asinine you are?
