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

[SirOleas]

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.
