[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Buddhsie]

In Eorzean lore it states that the adventurers lost the ability to jump hundreds of years ago. As much as they try to lift both feet off the ground at once it just won't happen. Even such a simple task, that would no doubt serve as a very important tool for overcoming environmental obstacles every day, is simply impossible for the people of Eorzea.

LOL give me a break, put jumping in the game and stop the goddamn whinging.

It ruins my immersion by NOT being able to jump over a tiny little crack in the ground.

Oh and can you imagine how long and expensive it would be to put designated jumping spots around the entire world, and if they took shortcuts with it how many people would complain that the jumping looks monotonous and unrealistic? THAT SOUNDS LIEK A GOOD IDEA GAIS.


Edit: HOLY CRAP I wish I could like my own post!

It ruins my immersion that you can't crawl under rocks or climb up cliffs or invite a fine lady to personal quarters for some late night synthing. It ruins my immersion that I can't read the newspaper in game, steal fruit from stalls, or toss small Lalafell just to see how far they go. My immersion is peril because airships are instant, Chocobos appear and disappear out of nowhere and my inventory is some apparent limited void that can only hold 200 individual types of items of varied sizes and weights.

Is there anything more relative?
Maybe, but it's all relative.

I think many people are assuming that 'jump' will be like the lesser quality korean MMO clones with thier 3 x your height jump spam abilities...

Personally when I think of a FFXIV jump I think more like a real world hurdles jump or vaulting off the rails ...



I believe this would be a win for the '' immersion argument ''

Roes, elvann and highlanders would just step onto the rail
Miqo's and lowlanders much like the picture
Lalas would hoist and slide over

Something like that ^^

I think one of the biggest problems with jumping in the world of FFXIV would be setting the base height of the jump mechanics ,will some races jump higher?, would this make some races less appealing for certain content? would mobs be able to jump as well? All the little thing that no one is looking at have to be addressed and having the dev team spend time working on this isn't even close to a priority imho, let them work on content, that's what everyone can agree on.

EDIT: also after reading this thread a bit some say that jumping is coming, I have been over all the info I have and have not seen anything about jumping aside from YP talking about that Chocobo's won't fly or swim, if you have solid info please post, if not quit talking out your backside.

RPGSite: Last question… what core mechanics—if any—are being drawn from western MMO developers? Such as the option to do things like swimming and jumping?

Yoshida: I’m a very hardcore gamer, and one of the first things when I got onto FFXIV was that I wanted to add a jump feature. When I threw that out to the community, what surprised me was that a lot of players were against that idea. Their complaint was that you shouldn’t be able to jump in a FINAL FANTASY game! Just because it’s in all the other MMOs, does it fit with the image of FINAL FANTASY? For example, people didn’t want to see Lalafells jumping all around. Personally, I don’t like the fact that my character is bound to the ground, so I definitely want to add a jump feature.

Just make all the races jump the same height, regardless of their size. Problem solved.

Wow, you've really been living under a rock, haven't you? It's been confirmed in several interviews, and Yoshi-P even showed a video of the prototype jumping animation during one of the Live Letters that they've done a couple times. So don't accuse other people of "talking out their ass" when really it's just you who's failed to keep up with the news.

It has nothing to do with WoW or Aion, it has to do with the fact that the game is 3D.

A 3D game needs to have some kind of jumping, either contextual jumping or a jump button, or else navigating the terrain will be super annoying (which it was in FFXI).

Was it also annoying in every single player RPG sense 3D games began?

False.

They can keep invisible walls to stop you from jumping over a rock all the same.

wow, just got curious to see your post so far, most of your post are full of hate and nothing contructive always complain at everyone else's idea without even do a good comentary or sugestion, are you a hater?.

I believe they might give us this option later on when they give us an use for it, so far we have the jump from drg wich is very practical and useful besides the fact of only reset hate , example, when you run low on HP or more monster just linked at yah and get the urge to scape from them.

And yes i do jump just to make fun of it sometimes but it has a cool down timer to avoid people spam it, i bet most people give down to the temptation while playin drg and do it just cause its fun.
