(Removed due to Terms of Service Violation) However jump now in days is a basic feature just like walk and run which should be added in ever mmo. Name one MMO PtP (made in the last couple years) that is doing good right now with no jump.

Too bad FFXIV isn't a PtP MMO. At least use your head lol.

You do NOT join an MMO because you jump, I have never in my 2x years of online gaming heard someone say:

"I WANT TO PLAY THIS MMO BECAUSE I CAN JUMP! ^__^"

No, but I've heard plenty of people complain when they find out they can't jump in a game. FFXIV became a laughing stock of the gaming community, and the lack of jump was in the list of 'cons' in bad reviews that did indeed state the lack of ability to jump was a turnoff.

Here is one example of many:

This is a very interesting video clip. Makes me glad Tanaka's gone.

I set it to start right where MikeB asks Tanaka about jumping (8-1/2 minutes in). It's actually a much longer clip. I recommend watching it in its entirety if you haven't before. It shows you some things that can really make or break an MMO.

And, yes, I agree. Tanaka made some bad decisions and just wasn't good with the public. It was time for him to go.

Me my brother and his gf didn't join this game because you can jump, we joined it because it had an interesting design. Btw, jumping in that game serves very little purpose, yet it's a fun as hell game.

Go figure the fun comes from everything but jumping, eh?

just go back to FFXI, sitting on a rocking chair forever

you people are not fit in this new generation, jumping might hurt your waist and hip

That's very smart though. Tell people go back to SE's other successful MMO so that XIV can fade into nothing since it will show them they should focus on XI instead of XIV
