Since Jumping is confirmed, can we fall off a cliff, take damage, etc?

[bobbygunz]

The Final Fantasy graphics are too realistic, we can't really allow players to do this kind of stuff.

Doesn't make sense.

[TaalAzura]

Doesn't make sense.

ruins the immersion.

Our interview at Japan expo

Thank you for posting this interview, I've never seen that before.

Doesn't make sense.

I agree, I feel that by having invisible walls everywhere, it's more unrealistic and more immersion-breaking. For example, outside Uldah area, the cliff that has a sloping path going down, I should be able to just jump that.

Yeah lol its a FANTASY world...realistic and fantasy is kind of an oxymoron. I thought the whole point of playing MMO is to do as many things as possible you can't do in reality.

Doesn't make sense.

Sure it does.
Do you walk around all day outside with people just throwing themselves off high cliffs to their doom? (The answer is no.)
Most people would be too lazy to jump off a small safe cliff...hell some people are too lazy to jump at all!

Realism is what Yoshi-P was pointing out. The graphics are good, and the word is build on a "realistic" engine.

Logic sir.

The logic here is that I play a MMO to do exactly what I cant and dont do each day IRL I can't cast magic in reality but I can in MMO. I can't fly in reality with wings but I can in mmo, I think that is the point folks are trying to get across.

I see your point entirely...but it defeats the purpose of why a lot of people play mmo

And what's that? freedom?

Let's face it: The only thing in MMO history jumping off a cliff to your doom has gotten anyone is an achievement in WoW.
People don't need to commit digital suicide, nor do they need the freedom to do so.

Accidentally falling off a cliff, dieing, and thus being pissed off because you have to return to a place most likely far off from where you were originally as well as deal with gear damage from accidentally falling is not freedom of any sort either.

So really, what are you all missing here?

Edit:
I think you should be keenly aware that none of our characters are going to sprout wings in 2.0 so we wont be able to fly into the sky just before meeting our demise at the bottom of a cliff.

Being able to cast magic or be a dragoon in the game and obviously not being able to be those in real life has nothing to do with the fact that you wish to throw yourself off a cliff. Most people don't wish to die in real life... I have a feeling the fake people of Eorzea don't wish to die either.

It's sad that I have to explain this.

Well..if you feel sad I am sorry for that You don't have to respond to me if you don't want to, don't worry about it..hehe if you don't like the same things I do such is life

But anyway..haha yeah in Lineage II and Aion I would jump off cliffs all the time. Sometimes I would reach 0HP sometimes I would just take a little damage. It was funny and if I "died" I never got upset or mad....me and my friend would almost cry laughing LOL just as funny as when we get one shotted by mobs

Also in FFXIV you can't "die" you just get K.O. knocked out. Of course no one wants to die! Well actually you are "defeated" haha I think only NPC's in story line can "die"

As for wings - well...we never know! But I said in the MMO I played...not XIV. In Aion I had wings ^^ Ether Saga too!

My whole point is comparing reality to a fantasy game is funny. Again, I said I understood your point so no need to go into detail. In the end it is Yoshi's game, not ours...he SHOULD and will make it the way he wants, and I think thats great <3

[Punainen]

Doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense. If there's no invisible walls, you'd be able to jump into places that you can't get back out of, and jump to terrain that was merely meant to be background. It doesn't work.
