    You also have to consider server response. SE has the lolservers.

    So if Jumping was implemented as viewable only to the client, then it could work out nicely, since the reaction time would be instant, and nobody else has to bother seeing other people jump.

    Its like how people modded in FFXI, nobody else could see them, only the people that modded their characters could see themselves.
    that kind of defeat the purpose of jumping in the first place IMO, because if i would put in Jumping, Jumping would be consider as a tool in a fight, not to just simply jump, but to avoid something and make an Encounter more fun or something.. but yea.. that ought to change to a action game lol.

    It would be neat if they could manage to pull that off, but even a game like Phantasy Star was really inaccurate on the "Dodge-Roll" due to server-related issues. FFXIV is in no way a more responsive game. lol In order to to something like that, shit tons of money would have to be invested in the servers. Don't get me wrong though, FFXIV servers are great, but look how long it takes to transfer items over to your retainer, or pull up menus, sell items.. etc.

    If those are bad, Jumping would be much worse, even if there was really a purpose for it, it would be frustrating.
