I so agree with the FF13 style jumping... freestyle jumping would be really strange in an FF, and it'd just be stupid to look at if all these great-looking detailed characters were just hopping around in circles throughout the cities like it's WoW. I can also imagine the havoc jumping would wreak with hairstyles and robes and stuff. Proabably wouldn't be pretty to look at someone jumping up and down constantly for 10 minutes if they had quite a few items that were flailing about haphazardly.
