[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Otaku]

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.
