Jumping to dodge AOE

[OmegaFlare]

I saw in the EX titan battle where he does a sumo like stomp move that pushes the players away. I wonder if the devs would implement jumping as a means to dodge AOE. It would add a lot more fun to the battles just like how we have to move to avoid AOE. Jumping would be required to avoid AOE like that sumo stomp or quake.

To make it even more fun, have titan summon another titan. One casts plumes while the other uses sumo stomp forcing the players to move and jump at the same time to avoid both AOEs. They could also add allagan rot mechanics to titan to make it insane. Insane mode titan!!

They should focus more on making the game fun. Playing video game is just another form of entertainment and people will stick to whatever they enjoy doing.

Sounds good to me. Its funny, Yoshi said early on that jumping wasn't going to be 'necessary' for anything gameplay-wise, but there are already mining nodes you can only get to by jumping, and that spot in... Tam-Tara I think? That you have to jump up to progress.

Well, after Extreme mode will be Nightmare Mode.... After Nightmare Mode, just might be an Insanity Mode.

Yeah, people complained enough about jumping being implemented period that they probably won't ever be a part of a boss' mechanics. I'm banking on players just needing to LOS the sumo stomp with the gaols to avoid it.

Can't wait for Touhou mode after that.

Still, their idea is to don't have jump as a mechanic to avoid things.

Jumping won't avoid it as just recently he said the server won't calculate your position until you land. You may also notice they have god mode on because 2 dashes from Ifrit (really 1) is enough to kill most people. Nevermind all 4.

I want to play a RPG, not an action game...

Pretty much this.
While it vould be fun jumping as of now isn't actively calculated by the server.

Where has he said this? Are you sure you aren't talking about DRG jumps?

I jump (spacebar) out of AoEs *all* the time and I never get hit because of it. I keep hearing people say "your position isn't updated until you land" but I'm pretty sure this is false.

Unless we're talking about DRG jump, in which case this is correct.
