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

I remember a confirmation that jump would be an aesthetic only feature designed to make players feel less "tethered" to the ground - so I doubt we'll see either of those scenarios - for better or worse.

True jump in FFXIV probably can't even be accomplished due to the game's lack of a Z-Axis. If your character reaches a certain height without being tied to an object (such as the floor), you can actually hover on that layer (though other's won't see it until you descend to a tangible object), allowing you to ride the invisible floor to other locations like so.

I don't know how they'd give us true jump with that issue in the way.

This wouldn't be a 3D game in both graphics or mechanics if there was no Z-Axis, nor would 3D movement be possible. There isn't a lack of a z-axis, there's lack of optimization, quite a different beast.
