Toggle Jump

[Gramul]

Purpose or not, it's still a jump. It will move your character from one position to the other. It could be likened to an emote if you could jump straight up and ONLY straight up but I know that's not gonna be the case. You would prefer that they put in the extra work to add a filter for "immersion reasons" or whatever, but that would just result in characters teleporting from one spot to another because a jumps till moves your character's position.

So yeah, I just can't see an outcome where it makes sense to have the ability to jump in a game but also be able to toggle it off without it looking ridiculous. I think it'd be a waste of time and effort outside of a fan-made mod. Not to mention that the only thing they said about jumps being unimportant is that they have no influence in battle but that doesn't mean they won't be necessary to explore the game's world in some form. You don't think it would look stupid to see a roegadyn teleport from one ledge to the other when they add some (hopefully) well-designed maps and dungeons?

There are no plans for using the jump for -->ANY<-- elements of gameplay it’s just there for those that want to jump.

Based on this, it seems like it's just an animation and won't effect your hitbox. Being able to toggle it off shouldn't be a large issue if that's the case, and based on this, it seems like the most likely outcome.
