Toggle Jump

I find this rather pathetic really. We've got characters jumping out of visiual spectrum as a game mechanic, yet we can't have it as a bit of fun.

Should my Jump and Elusive jump both have a filter too. Because I can randomly jump on a weak monster and kill it just for fun. Or elusive jump straight into your crowd.

How about Leg Sweep? I don't need a target for that, just TP, and I can generate that with Invigorate.

Speaking of invigorate. It's annoying to watch people buff in towns, we should be able to turn that off too.

Emote usage as well. I should have to see anyone cheer or wave or any of that - too annoying, it can be spammed!

Normal game jumping is in the above categories, and if they're so annoying that you need a filter for ANY of them, I suggest you toggle the game off.

They should make jump/ledges work like GW2. If you jump is high enough to visually get over an object, you can do it. If there's a ledge, doesn't matter where it is you can fall off of it. If you survive just depends on how high it is

Played beta all day yesterday and have to say it was a blast ^^ I know the dev's are playing other mmo's in admission by Yoshi as part of making XIV so I hope they get some great aspects from all games out there.

The difference is; abilities have a use even if they are sometimes not used correctly, emotes are used as a form of expression and can even be used to communicate across language barriers, they are also not assigned to a button on the keyboard.

Jump has no purpose and will be easily spammable and more visible than emotes.

Another point is; while running, if you use an emote you don't see the action, you just see the text in the chat log, however I'm pretty sure if someone is hitting jump while running, they will still be visibly jumping, so that is how they differ.

I don't know why anyone would bring up DRG's jump to being with. DRG and LNC for the most part throughout FF history always has a jump command, why would you toggle off the animation of a job ability? May as well toggle off every battle action then.

Plenty of games have emote toggles, kind of funny when you think about how people want XIV to be standard but will fight against an emote toggle. (Having no use but to jump pretty much guarantees it's basically an emote.)
