Alpha First Look: Video 3 - The Black Shroud

[Andrien]

So you directly answered neither of my two questions. I'll assume for the first that you're saying no, extraneous will not dominate functional.

And while there is no use to replying to this point, I used the term "western" because most of the references from Yoshida concerning other games have been western.

Look, whether or not someone jumps just for fun it is up to them, it is freedom, and that they wont feel bound to the ground. When the opportunity arrive to use it for ease of transport they'll just jump over it like normal.

There is nothing irrelevant about it. People jump for joy, happiness, sports, and a way to get around things even in real life. The demonstration shows all this, it speaks for itself.

edit: Regarding the other question. To me it wont look right if I see somebody walk through a rock, or slide over something, or even phase right through a fence like a ghost and what not. It just doesn't look right. A toggle option to me is a waste of time. If they do implement it, it wont bother me but I still think it is a waste of time.
