Jumping Risk Assessment

Wow! You are impossible to please. You don't want jump, but when you have the option to opt out, you think its stupid? You don't like it so nobody can have it? That seems selfish.

Jumping - if implemented - would be a graphic only effect that some people have a fetish for, and that others seem highly annoyed by. Any attempt to steer the devs to start implementing it - especially at this point when resources are already stretched thin working on critical elements - is nothing less than pure selfishness on the part of the jumpophiles.

I also find it hard to believe than anyone would leave or not play this game over the absence of a silly gimmick like jumping.

If we could only free ourselves from the wishes of these jumpophiliacs.

Well, sorry.

It's already planned at this point. It's funny, because as someone else pointed out, if this were any other MMO, something as trivial as jumping would not cause people to kick and scream so loudly in opposition. You think you are being the mature person in opposition of it? My gosh, its jump. The only immature thing about this whole ordeal is all of the players raging against it.

"amg! guize! if they add jump people will jump! ohh nooooooo!! my immersion!!!! my whole world is collapsing!!!!" lolol...

How silly that people are so annoyed with jumping.

Adding anything to a nearly empty game is not a waste of time, sorry.

The problem is that jump doesn't actually add anything to the game, so adding it is in fact a waste of time.

Actually, it is a waste of time if it serves no real purpose.

Now here's a quote I can agree with. Jump doesn't add anything to the game, meaning gameplay. So, now you can jump? So what. Also once jump is released it makes sense that the dev team will completely ignore it. In fact, they will probably forget they ever added it, so that future additions to the game like other zones or dungeons will not use jump. Makes perfect sense, and that is why it is in fact a waste of time like Lerris has so eloquently stated.

The only people who should be able to jump in combat is Dragoon. But thats an activated ability. Not a function of travel that players have free control over.

This too makes sense. Dragoon Jump is a long established ability in my brain too. When I think of a Dragoon jumping it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable inside my jump-free comfort bubble at all.

Most importantly, jump is a "function of travel". People that want to see jump added need to realize that jump is a function of travel. And that's why jump should not be added.

Actually, it is a waste of time if it serves no real purpose.

EXACTLY! If it serves no real purpose, then it is in fact a waste of time. Since jumping serves no real purpose, it must therefore be a waste of time. If A is B, and B is C, then A is also C. Obvious.

Why so defensive? I'm sure SE had a good reason to make it lower priority than it was before. :P I mean, at least its still being considered.

I still want the FFXIII jump only. Or if they implement "battle jumping," just dodges...jumping in battle generally looks stupid and is distracting.
