So about jump.

Now on to this, less than 100 times.

I don't feel hopping on tents gives a cartoony vibe, and, while it's true 1.0 did have a theme of realism while Tanaka was running it, that has long come and gone. The point about the rest of the FF series is moot because there's little to no realism involved.

The same NPCs are being kept. The same plot is being kept. Its all very realistic. I have no idea why do you think it won't be.

Otherwise we would all have to consume food on a regular basis, use the potteh, would have to rest every night or two, would be susceptible to illness, would have to pay rent on our inns, would skill up extremely slowly with level values being small numbers increasing by thousandths after hours of work, etc. What makes this on more noteworthy than the others?

This argument right there is completely whack. You're comparing the abridgment of daily life with a brutal active strike against realism.
SE can deem information like characters pooping to be irrelevant in their game and skip being explicit about it.
Which has nothing to do with the fact that they are building a cloth tent and making it look plastic when allowing for playing to hop on top of it.

The example you gave is omission of data, the second is a direct violent contradiction of what's being told.
