can i ask why you are all obsessed with jump? Its not even like the game needs it.

[Elexia]

Wow this is so true, because MMOs that have jump don't have cliffs. Everyone knows that!

Funny story, most MMOs with Jumo you can't even use the Jump feature to jump up/down cliffs lol. It's just there as an animation...aka a useless feature. Luckily though, the jump in XIV is useful.

Jumping and swimming will be vital for future content in this game. Swim to an underwater temple. (Leviathan temple maybe?) Jumping in dungeons as in platforming, and puzzle solving to progress further. The possibilities is endless.

The same reason some people are obsessed with stopping it from being put in: because they want/don't want it.

Few people give a rational reason for their opinion. But in general:

Most people who don't want jumping are afraid of seeing noobs bounce around all over the place acting like idiots just because they can (To that I say: "Ignore those people and blacklist them and they'll learn nobody wants to be around them"), or because "we don't need it." Then there are a few people who oppose it just for the sake of opposing it to give supporters a hard time.

Most people who do want jumping want it for variety, allow for more interesting world design, make it easier to avoid ground obstacles, take shortcuts, etc. Then, again, there are a few people who back it just because they need something to back (or they like giving the opposition a hard time)

Yes please to jumping with purpose. I think at this point the devs will have already made a set plan for the enviroments and whether or not jumping will be of any actual use. I just really hope we can attempt to jump off a 4ft high cliff and not be greeted by an invisible wall. >_<

I wouldn't say Vital (as that states this MMO can't succeed without being able to Swim and Jump and I can promise you Tera didn't get even remotely popular at one point because of the ability to jump, swim or climb.)

They can introduce an area with Leviathan without the need to Swim, which from what I remember, Yoshida said in an expansion if he deems it necessary he'll add swimming but it's not in the current plans at all.

I can't think of one recent example of this.

I love how for FFXIV we have to instruct devs in the basics of game design

If the content requires it, it'll be vital. That is what I'm saying.
