    If that ends up being true, the people that ACTUALLY wanted jump in the game are gonna throw a fit and Yoshi-P will probably listen to them eventually since hurr we gotta cater to a wider audience because that works so well right?

    Seriously if I can't jump a fence why even have it in the game?

    Asking for a jump toggle is not restricting the game to anyone.

    1. It's not for you to decide where SE's resources should and shouldn't go.*
    2. Close-minded? Funny since we're asking for an option, not to force anything down anyone's throats - unlike those that have demanded non-contextual jumping.

    Helmets can be taken off in-game.

    What's next? Can I toggle Lalafells off because I think they're hideous little monsters?

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?
    Whether it'll look ridiculous or not is a red-herring. You won't be using it to begin with.

    *This is a suggestion that SE can decide for themselves whether they want to use the resources or not. They don't need to be told how to use their resources, esp. considering the fact they've already wasted the resources to bring you the jump feature in the first place when they could've used far fewer and brought a contextual jumping feature instead!

    At one point I know it was mentioned, but I don't think they're going to go through with it.

    Bingo! Finally starting to get it

    Based on the interview with yoshi it seems to be little more than a emote tied to a button adding little to actually game play. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that we'll be able to use it to traverse terrain or maybe get some light platforming elements...but it looks highly unlikely that this is the case.

    This is what PLers actually believe. May Altana have mercy on our souls...
