I want to jump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUMP!!! Everywhere when I want to! Enough with XIV taking away every choice an RPG should have just let me jump at least dammit!!

big NO on jumping. it already seems like SE has done too much "hand-holding" for example, mob levels displayed, mob aggressivness displayed, possible hate meter coming into play. Why add jumping?

While I support the idea that jumping is of low-priority to the dev team right now, I do not understand how jumping implicates "hand-holding". Could you explain what you mean in detail? The way I understand it, adding a new way to traverse the game-world != making things easier, it's something completely different.
By your way of thinking, adding chocobos and airships would be "hand-holding", too, so would you be able to clarify what you really meant?

Should i remind you they have separate teams working on different aspects of the game? Jumping= Map design team= no impact on the battle system team.

Yoshi-P stated in one of his posts that they are redesigning current maps(most likely finishing blocked areas too) so while they are at it they could make them jump friendly.

True. They could work it into their redesigns and plans for new areas. But they could also decide that the areas are fine without jumping. Should the team in charge of the zones base their designs around jumping because jumping is the most important thing? No. But that's how some of the opinions in this thread make it sound.

And that's all a lot of us are saying. I'm not against the act of jumping and I'll be fine if they feel the need to add it. I can see it being useful in some cases. However, I won't be disappointed if it isn't either. If it happens it happens.

I disagree that it NEEDS to be added.

And here I thought they were talking about the Dragoon Jump ability

We should get a Dragoon to start with... but for sure they will have a jump action/ability/spell.... It's what they do!

Well whatever the case, there is no sense in continuing the discussion. I've said what needs to be said.

EDIT: I mean the discussion between you and me. In other words, I am done here.

Finally something we can agree on.

So jumping is still being added just not yet. That's cool. Yay for modernizing the game from the historic ages with jump and various other cool features
