Only on a Final Fantasy Forum...

I'd be very ok with that. Actually I (and many others) proposed that solution (alongside with a mitigantion of the limits of climbing UP ledges) in multiple places, including this and the beta forum. It doesn't make much sense to have ledges with invisible walls.

That would solve basically every problem. Unfortunately some seem adamant that their MMORPG experience isn't complete unless they can spam <SPACEBAR> over and over.

My only reason for promoting standard jumping over contextual jumping is because I think standard jumping would be quicker and easier to implement, and FFXIV needs to get fixed as quickly as possible.

You seem to be quite confused about the difference between staged/directed acrobatics and random/ generic jumping.

Luckily, at least from what Yoshida says, players will probably never be able to do the second. And boy, it's a good thing.

Aww, I wanted Assassin's Creed aerobatics.
