Personally if they did it I would like to see it done in the form of a chocobo. You could rent / tame a chocobo that had the ability to jump. They could also expand this idea even FURTHER by introducing chocobo breeding ala FFVII. Maybe it was just me but I used to love breeding the chocobos. Especially when I started getting the cool ones like mountain / gold.

You could start out with a regular yellow chocobo, eventually breed it and get a mountain choco that can run up slanted cliffs, breed him to get a white chocobo that can jump and maybe glide for a few seconds. who knows, they could really have fun with the idea and make something cool. This game could use a new mechanic like this imo to break up the usual crafting leve / battle leve / behest routine that people sometimes fall into.
What is wrong with a small realistic hop to get DOWN from ledges and to hop from place to place? Small hop is not useless!

And why can't we have climb to get over higher obstacles (like Call of Duty for example).
