Please Use the Correct Form of Jump Square Enix!!!

Are you sure we can't stop it? Cuase you know what jump leads to... Half assed platforming.

Hopefully they use jump as a jumping platform to greater things, i.e., jumping platforms.

I want to have the freedom to jump anytime anywhere. The game is rigid as is and I welcome any change to make it feel more responsive!

I haven't read the entire thread, so forgive me if this was mentioned already but... Didn't a dev post say that jump would be used to interrupt casts as well? That would imply we could freely jump whenever we wanted, and not like how FFXIII was.

Personally, I don't care either way as long as the animation is smooth and looks nice. I think being worried about people making bots that jump 24/7 is a little silly.

Yes
It would be funny if SE make jump exclusive for DoM and the other classes can't jump ^^

Where are all these pro jumping people coming from? It's days like these where I actually don't feel like clawing my own face off in frustration/bewilderment at the state of FFXIV playerbase.

The only thing good about that Final Fantasy XIII video was the slick and responsive UI.

Free jumping is awesome. Retards jumping off bridges to their deaths is awesome. A girl auto jumping 30 feet into the air in the most unrealistic away possible is awful.

Yeah I don't get why people are using FFXIII as an example of good jumping. Lightning jumps around 20 feet into the air, while doing flips, easily landing on platforms and jumping the same height again within a second. Yeah... somehow that's more acceptable than free jumping.

or in the demo/intro area where she pretty much does the jump/fall that is in the "IT's WRONG" video.

but I guess i can see this person saying but it was in a cutscene so it's okay! -.-;;;;;;

Greetings!

Let me start off by saying that I know jump is being implemented into this game & there is no way to stop it from coming.

Given that the only information we currently have regarding jump can be found here, I ask that the devs please use correct judgement when implementing this feature.

There are two primary ways to implement jump (as seen in these videos): A WRONG WAY & A RIGHT WAY.

The way Square Enix used the jump feature in Final Fantasy 13 was well implemented because you used the feature when you NEEDED it. While the former way of implementation only serves to allow childish use of the jump feature.

The last thing I wish to see in this game is hundreds of people afk in the major cities with bots actively using jump or active players jumping around 24/7 like rabbits.

(I apologize for the lack of quality the videos might have. I tried searching for ones that showed both ways of implementation & those were the best that I found.)


Thank you for your time!

You sound like a very controlling person. Ew.
