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

I hope fall damage is implemented alongside jumping. I don't t want walls everywhere (invisible or otherwise). Give me freedom to explore the world at my own peril.

I agreeee, I want it to happen that if I was on auto-run, and I got to a cliff, I would fall because I wasn't paying attention. Which happens often to me in other MMOs. I don't want to be stuck at invisible wall.

I would agree, but I'd say the chance of the devs going down that road are slim to none. Better to just get used to the ideas of invisible walls, because that's what we are getting.


Try playing Demon's/Dark Souls if your really want your fill of dangerous exploration

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




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.

No thanks. Sorry, while I have no issue with jumping being introduced (I'm fairly ambivalent), this is a feature a I can do well without.

any info if mounts can jump?

As far as I've heard, mounts won't be able to jump due to the complexity of the animation involved and other environmental issues. Not sure if it was totally ruled out, though.

The realistic comment is regarding that FF games (especially late era) uses a more realistic approach to Fantasy design -- so it's easy to understand what he was referring to. It's a fantasy world but there are genres in fantasy that favors realism.

He stated it would be too glitchy graphically so there's no other information beyond that.

Also doesn't make any sense. Complexity of animation what? Every MMO out there has mounts that can jump. And instead of just a chocobo, they have multiple mounts that need animation, tigers, horses, skeletal horses, dragon,

chocobo-like bird like below.
