Sightseeing Log #48

Square,

Sightseeing Log 48 needs to be fixed. It needs to be fixed, because it is currently broken. The fact that it is physically possible to make the jump under certain (very narrow) conditions does not mean it isn't broken (from a balance standpoint). The fact that you have players resorting to altering frame rate settings to make the jump possible is sufficient evidence of this fact. If the jump is tuned to the point where your frame rate settings easily make or break your ability to perform this jump, then it is clear the jump is too tightly tuned and needs to be loosened.

I don't know if this will help people or not but I did mine with the coeurl mount.
I tried for over an hour with the chocobo and never landed on it. My plan was to do the jump until I made it, then wait for the weather.

After switching to the Coeurl mount I made it on the second try, running right off the other side. I could make it 1 out of 3 times with the coeurl mount. Now I had a problem with stopping on it.

It was easier for me to tell when I was off the point of the spear because the coeurl is so long that when you start the jump you are at a angle. "It looks like only the back feet are standing on the spear" when you pass the point the head/front end of the coeurl drops a bit.

TL;DR: for me the coeurl mount was better for this jump than the chocobo. Maybe it will help others.

While the jump might be semi-easy for some of us who have done this type of jump for ages, it is definitely not something a normal player should know how to do or need to know how to do.

Key Point: its not supposed to be easy.

The only way I made it up there was to die near it and have someone rez port me to it.
