I'd like it for an aesthetic, and for the ability to jump over or onto small obstacles such as fences or small parts of terrain that are...well, short. I can't count the number of times I've been stuck or had to 'go around' an extremely low fence or ledge in the landscape that was shorter than my character. (A lalafell at that)

I would not prefer to see it used as a combat mechanic.

I hope it would be a fluid animation, and just a simple jump. No fancy flipping or what not. Like a jump where the character pushes of the ground, does their animation in air, and then lands on the ground, perhaps with some kind of bracing or what not. Much like how when we stop moving, we actually see the character have to stop their momentum. I like these small aesthetics.
