Let me rectify this situation.

I don't want jump because if you can jump anytime / anywhere (like WoW) the world will start to look ridiculous. You'll also have to animate every possible body type doing this ridiculous action and see it every time you look in at this ridiculous world you just created.

I don't want jump because if jump is controlled by trigger points in the environment, like several other FF titles with the "jump" action you will have to program all those points as well as all the aforementioned animations as well as redefine zone barriers in general. This would have been cool if you'd done it before the game is released, but it sounds like a lot of work that I'd rather developers spend making mounts or developing battles or piloting airship - any number of other ways to either get around more easily as well as interact with your environment. Programing jump points would be a frivolous waste of effort.

There you go, mate. I still didn't read the thread and I still agree with it 100%.
Baw :]

It's okay I forgive you.

I like free jumping It's not like everyone's going to be hopping around ^O^ Mashing the space bar does get tiring.

Or at least some sort of jumping D: Sliding down cliffs look so unattractive.

But then again, how does jumping look ridiculous? And I didn't create the world <3
