This is why we need JUMP in FFXIV

[Evangela]

So this is how blade and soul gameplay looks like? Meh. I expected real action combat but that's just the old key pressing with no combos or anything, from what i could see.
And the endless jumps they have are horrendous. "Dragon ball" fits it pretty much.

what's wrong with unrealistic combat movement? that's what we call games and fantasy

Dissidia's combat and movement >>>>>> FFXIV's

Nothing. What's wrong with not liking unrealistic combat movement?

I played PW long enough to get tired of those huge jumps, but at least in PW, you actually flew (wings/flying devices/creatures) and not randomly floated in the air.

correction, this is why FFXIV does NOT need jumping............

Agreed, this would make FFXIV ridiculous....
I don't want to see my character flying around like its nothing.

i still would welcome an "autoclimb" or autojump feature, to get over bigger obstacles or climb "small" hights.
But that would mean new animation and so i rather have the battle/job system in a great shape as well as content.
After this i dont mind them working on that feature.

Reminds me of that game Prototype, and just like Prototype, it would be fun for only about 10 minutes.

Also, +1 to Zantetsuken for his signature.

Those characters look so freaking derptastic when they float through the air.

In other words.. No thanks.

Calling Jump being an emote in XIV.

Well, unless SE remaps the controls on the controller. It won't be anything but a emote. There wouldn't be any reason for SE to put jump to the spacebar like every other game out there, because then controller users would have to actively use the keyboard to play. Which then begs the question, why aren't they just using a keyboard + mouse in the first place?

Which kind of goes against the whole controller based game play setup they have right now.

Personally, its not the PS3 bringing this game down (functionally), its the controller. It's far far inferior to the keyboard and mouse. Which, I'm not trying to spark a controller vs keyboard debate, but yea. Look at XIV's UI and really try to understand their design decisions. If you get it, you'll face palm at how bad the controller ties the game down.
