SE Please add jump and swiming

[EdenArchangel]

I'm only for situational jumping, the only one that would look and feel right.

If I feel glued down (which I don't) I just call out my chocobo and [Flee]

ahh i see. will im guess im saying there is no way jump was not added because a group of 250 skilled devs could not get it to work. I saying im sure it was because of the reaction to this forum people.

Of course i could be wrong lol.

Am I the only person who would simply love to see Advent Children-style jumping in the game?

Probably, wouldn't mind it if this game was a MMO Platformer though.

I think such mechanics would be fun in a different kind of game. But for FFXIV it would seem out of place. Even the R46 cutscene looked stupid and out of place to me. I'd like to see tomb raider jumping and platform elements involved in dungeons though, with that being said.

Blade and soul has the Advent Children kind of jumping and fighting, but for FFXIV, i would like them to tone it down a bit it (not that they'd ever do it anyway)

I agree, but I think it's mostly due to the fact that we're so used to seeing our characters glued to the ground. Trying rolling the picture around in your head for a few moments - it took me several before I could really imagine it without it seeming weird.

I guess the reason I see it as weird is because I imagine FFXIV to be grounded in a sense of realism. When I do entertain the notion of high jumping acrobatics and suchlike, I think it would change the fabric of the game in a way which isn't flattering. And it's not just me being afraid to see the game change from what im used to, it's me not really seeing Wuxia combat mesh well with the world of FFXIV.

Just wait til they add pvp and jumping, itll be like every other mmo where we all jump fight around each other, yay i cant wait.... yet its us ffxi players trying to screw your hopes and dreams right, there are already plenty of games you can jump and swim.

Please, show them the light, O savior, O player of the FFXI MMO. Save them from the tyranny that is jumping and swimming!

Really sad.

FFXI was my first and most memorable MMO, I played it since US PC release. Unlike many others, though, I don't become emotionally unstable at the mere thought of swimming and jumping. Swimming isn't even new to Final Fantasy. Lol.

They said they are adding jumping and have yet to retract that. They said they would add swimming if there was content that called for it. I wouldn't be upset if they decided not to add jumping. Some of these comments are hilarious, though. Like "how dare you add jumping or swimming to my MMO? The mere thought of it makes my skin crawl."

Lol, thanks for the laughs.

There's nothing wrong with FFXIV having jumping. I refuse to submit to the argument that we shouldn't have something just because a few people will act stupid.
