[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Teknoman]

Yoshi-P didnt say that they werent going to implement it, its just being put on the backburner for now because the foundation of the entire game, actual substantial content and the battle system, are much more important than having the option to jump at this time. As a reply to an earlier post, yes, auto attack is THAT important as it stands, because unless they get the base of the combat system right, no one will care whether you can jump or not.

Also i'm sure they have to go back and do mocap for the jump animations to get them just right, if they decide to implement jump, whether an auto-jump or manual jump.

they never have any good reason

their only reason is about their feeling which they don't like it and that's their reason

Then i assume you are skimming over everyone's posts and only hear what you want to hear. There are valid arguments coming from either side, but its the people that are for jump implementation that are being the obnoxious children.

All you are saying is that the people that are against it have no valid arguments, and you dont even care to explain why their arguments do not work. No, you are only stating that they are wrong, period, end of story.

At least be constructive if you are going to stand by your opinion, and stop pointing out how others' opinions are all wrong but yours.

I don't want jumping! It's annoying me to see you do it! You look like a monkey! You are breaking my immersion! = Children

Jumping can introduce interesting gameplay mechanics. Jumping can give your character more mobility and freedom. It helps avoid obstacles by jumping over them rather then going around. Future level design can use jumping for some clever and fun gameplay= adults with valid constructive arguments.

Why are we even arguing about this?

Again, i have to say.

...Please, by god. Tell me on a scale of importance, 1-10 how Jumping is important to this game.

The only valid arguments against jumping is that FF14's design does not call for it. Simply, we do not, realistically, NEED it (read: need != want). Another is that it takes up development time when they should be focusing on other things.

Other than that, i believe it should be added eventually. It seems to do more good than bad in abstract.

This is how a lot of people feel about this, including me. Though I don't seem to understand why people think we are still against jumping.

i don't really care for jumping if they add it or not. if they add, then i guess cool. we didn't have jumping in FFXI and it didn't bother me at all. FFXI was one of my favorite MMO's if not my only favorite. played for 6+yrs with no jumping.........

where is the dislike/thumbs down button?

I would love to have scalable terrain and platforming elements that use jump. It will probably never happen in this game, though.

probably because this game (thank goodness) is a MMORPG, and not a platformer.

Super Mario galaxy -> that way.

Yet 90% of mmorpgs have jumping.... besides.. hmmm... FFXI and FFXIV?

And? Should we demand starships and aliens because other MMOs have it?

I'm waiting for those valid arguments too against jump as well...

You can read back on the multiple threads (some of which opened by the same troll that quite obviously thinks that his issues are much more important than anyone else's and deserve multiple places to be discussed, lol) on this topic and find plenty.

Again, the fact that an argument isn't valid *for you* has absolutely no bearing on it's actual validity. No one is here to convince you, as convincing you, or any other random forum poster, is absolutely inconsequential.
