Why is everyone just jumping around in the alpha footage?

SE needs to put up something else so people can whine about that also.

I agree the jumping was annoying, but what would be even stupider is putting a timer on something that has no real relevance even in combat. Wait till the novelty of jumping is removed and you wont have so many players doing it, and those who continue to do it, really who gives a damn? turn the other way if you are so uptight about it.

I'm glad SE seems to not care much about the North American whining. Some opinions are necessary, while some aren't constructive at all and are just completely needless whining like those who whine about jumping and grass graphics.

If you don't like it, don't jump? Lol. I really don't see an issue with it. I do like the fact that I can now jump up a cliff that is only 2 feet high, rather than being forced to go around it because my character, despite conquering the many trials of Eorzea, can't figure out how to climb up ledges yet.

That's is the worst argument ever created, "don't like it!? Don't use it!" There is no substance to that statement. Pisses me off when people say it.

All they had to do was let your char, slide or step up/down. There, I fixed that problem for you and they didn't have to code in new animation.

Coming from a guy that asks ppl to go Vindictus if they liked instances, what a hypocrite.

If its a "novilty" every game would have jumping, hell. Some of my favorite games don't have jumping. Demon souls anyone?

Jumping is not needed if it's not an action game, this is not an action game so jumping is not needed. It's stupid and retarded, I'm happy more people are seeing this.

You do know what novelty means right? (Somehow I don't think you do)

And you do know that jumping is new to Final Fantasy MMO franchise correct?

Some people would say emoticons are not necessary but you know what MMOs have it for RPers, and for those who just like it anyway to play around with it.

You not liking it is irrelevant.

I see some of you "obviously" didn't know about this.

I say that because you people bring that stupid argument up, I do it to spite those who use that argument. Those who use it, tend to be ummm not the people who share my views.

No way, it's new to FF MMO? Did know that jumping is new in the souls games too!?!

If they would do the power of collective knowledge they would have just done what they did in XIII, go to a cliff and press X. There, you get your stupid jumping, and I don't have to deal with your stupid jumping.

I just can't believe that some people are SO OFFENDED by the inclusion of jump. You really think my comment of 'if you don't like it, don't use it' is an argument? It's the truth, plain and simple. I'm sorry you are apparently so offended by something, and must find SOMETHING to complain about while the servers are down.

If people seriously don't like jump, get over it. You're not being forced to use it, unless it will be included in fights, where you must jump over certain things (which makes sense, because, why would great heroes of Eorzea be limited to standing and running and die in a fire because they couldn't jump over it)? SE is looking to make the game more fast-paced. Introducing jump caters to the inclusion of all sorts of abilities that monsters may now use. When I say the 'novelty of it will wear down', I mean that you won't find people jumping up and down everywhere you go. What you don't consider is if the ability to jump will have any utility...

He asked testers to jump so show how the game handles all of those people at one spot doing different unique animations. Not everyone was jumping. People were also emoting and casting and fighting as well. This was actually one of the things they had outlined to test before getting to this video.

They got to a point where it started to break the servers then fixed it. They were just showing off what they accomplished. There is no way nor no going back from jump. It had resources go into it and it's what every modern MMO has. They'll rather keep it and have you select minority feel unhappy than to do something completely idiotic like turn it into an ability with a timer on it. Why? Because it's what MMO players general want. Stop looking at this with the audacity that this game is being made for just you rather than many.

Wow you really make no sense. I guess you don't know what is a FF MMO either... before you make a post next time, think on it, then double think on it, process, then type.
