I'm pretty sure that was sarcastic.

As for the positional thing: I've ALWAYS hated how Jump works even apart from pre and post 2.1 animation lock. The fact that you're vulnerable at multiple points during it's duration is insane. I first encountered this on the second boss in Sunken Temple (baby Titan) and every time I've complained about it people chalk it up to whining. Y'know, like everything else about how dragoon works.
Use it at your advantage? Like, to get out of an AOE without moving?
