This is an MMORPG first of all, and second this is Final Fantasy. I know that XIII-2 is breaking the FF rule of no jumping (and I can't wait for its release, I'm really excited, I hope they release a demo for PS3 download) but I don't think XIV needs a jump, not in the way that WoW or some other lesser games (lesser meaning I personally don't care for them much ) but maybe, like someone suggested in another thread, an event jump. The world is being redesigned, so why not add some features to the new world where you can open your menu, or hit enter just for ease, and climb or jump at certain locations. That would be much better. After all, in real life how often do you see someone just jumping around for the hell of it? Well ... besides little kids ... and ninja wannabes who post videos on YouTube (seen some Urban Ninja videos that were pretty cool and funny).
