I can only imagine that would seriously get in the way of game play. The game would become a giant shove fest. What benefit could that possibly have that wouldn't be tremendously outweighed by everyone just getting in the way of each other?

I appreciate your input, your ideas are nice and interesting, but the effect they would have on the overall game won't make much of an impact, especially for the amount of effort required to implement them. Making the bird animations more realistic? Crawling along ropes? More ambient sound effects? All nice concepts, but the game needs big fundamental Final Fantasy style changes and improvements. Otherwise, it just seems like nitpicking every little flaw to get people to get mad at Square and abandon the game.
People shouldn't run into each other though. It's pretty rude.

And this isn't just a game, it's also a world. So convenience of gameplay isn't always the most important consideration.
