[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Tezz_Xivectro]

I think FFXIV should be converted over to unrealistic cartoony graphics. Perhaps next we can have glowing eyes and weapons and shields and swords, and chest-plates too! Mobs should also sparkle when they die so I know they have loot on them.
While we're at it, I should be able to run across the entire map in about 2 minutes, be able to call in Flying Chocobo Airstrikes, or place a magic turret that kills anything in sight. Garleans have those right? There should be no MP or HP, instead my screen goes red if I get attacked by mobs and regenerates if I can run away for 10 seconds.

I know you're being sarcastic, but alot of people equate jump to World of Warcraft (and the like). It's always been annoying when people do this. Probably due to the fact most MMO's look the same.

Well, the jump spots you speak of would most likely be near impassible cliffs, or.. they WERE impassible before we were able to just walk over everything.

The question wasn't a matter of how it would work, but how it would be any different, "Visually" (since there is no actual need for jumping besides scaling small cliffs).

I think collision jumps could be more dramatic (like thrusting upward & landing/catching balance with your hand on the ground). Do a front flip off a cliff. A mage would hovor/float off it.

That's not to say Free jumping couldn't have good animations either
(there's really no telling what they could do)
