[dev1008]If Jumping is Implemented, It should be Chocobo Only.

[Cairdeas]

I was reading through some of the Japanese posts through Google translate and saw one of them I really liked the idea of.

If jumping is implemented it should be limited to Chocobo only. Similar to how it worked in other FF's even. Where riding a chocobo is necessary to jump over and access hidden areas and even dungeons and quests.

Jumping gives us a sense of freedom, which everyone would probably like.

I have yet to feel limited without being able to jump in XIV.

Hell I just played through Bulletstorm on the PS3 two times and it took someone complaining to me there was no jumping that I noticed there was no jumping, Jumping isn't everything.

I'm not saying it's everything, but it's just a small way to give players a better feel of the game.

It seems it would be easier to implement jump on a new feature such as chocobos.

Sounds like a good idea.

[Nephera]

I think i'd be ok with that, but you know we need chocobos first.

Oh my god, it's just jumping. Just implement it already, it's not going to destroy the sacred world that is eorzea. Why does this small ability contrive so much heated debate when it's such a simple feature?

It's not a simple feature. It would be one of the most complicated overhauls to the game, and the majority do not want it anyway. Not to mention just the programming aspect, the animation itself would require a lot of work. Completely pointless feature for something the majority of the community despises.

Anyway, as for the chocobo idea, I'm fine with either that or the FFXIII auto-jump feature. Or both. Whatever.

I just want to be able to move over ankle high ledges... Really, I think that if it IS implemented, it should be something automatic like in XIII or X-2. If you reach a ledge that can be jumped, you do it. The invisible walls that I can't move up and down though are really killing me. Especially since there are some areas in Ul'Dah that take 3 minutes to run around. If you've done anything around Camp Horizon, you know the cliff. There's a leve with the Lalafel Assassins or the THM quest with the Goats... The map suggests you can run straight north, but nope. There's a short cliff that impedes your way, and it takes 3 minutes to run around it. I don't wanna see anything crazy like WoW where people bounce all over, but some automatic jump spots definitely won't break the balance.

I like the idea of Chocobo jumping but only if automatic when it gets to a big ledge or something. As Lusavari just said the whole thing would be better if it was just a little auto jump that got me up or down little ledges, I don't want to be stood in Ul'dah and everyone jumping over Lalafells, though that would be amusing for a little while ^^
