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

It doesn't make sense because you don't understand it.

What's not to understand? The game he's referencing has hundreds of mounts which need animations for 10 races (soon 11). XIV has 2 mounts for 5, more if you count variations per race which are insignificant aside from midland/highland hyur.

Basically, it's not that they can't do it, it's that they wont.

After seeing a Kodo jump, I don't blame them for not wanting horrible jump animations.

You can jump in combat. it just wont do anything other then interrupt your spell. Hes just saying you can't avoid attacks with it.

That's an attack animation, they've already confirmed you can't jump in combat.

There are no plans for using the jump for any elements of gameplay it’s just there for those that want to jump. You won’t be able to jump to avoid Ifrit’s attacks or anything.

Probably should have been more specific... I'm looking forward to jumping in the world etc.. Can't wait to see people bunny-hop in Ul'dah..

But at the same time, with PvP coming down the pike, I'd hate to see it have an in-combat effect aside from cancelling a spell.
