SE Please add jump and swiming

[Felis]

They add it.
Not now, but in the future

RPGSite: Last question… what core mechanics—if any—are being drawn from western MMO developers? Such as the option to do things like swimming and jumping?
Yoshida: I’m a very hardcore gamer, and one of the first things when I got onto FFXIV was that I wanted to add a jump feature. When I threw that out to the community, what surprised me was that a lot of players were against that idea. Their complaint was that you shouldn’t be able to jump in a FINAL FANTASY game!
Just because it’s in all the other MMOs, does it fit with the image of FINAL FANTASY? For example, people didn’t want to see Lalafells jumping all around.
Personally, I don’t like the fact that my character is bound to the ground, so I definitely want to add a jump feature.

RPGSite: That’s interesting because they added a jump option to XIII-2, and I haven’t seen much negative reaction to that.
Yoshida: Everyone probably wouldn’t mind if their character could jump, but maybe there’s a lot of people who just don’t want to see everyone else jumping!
A lot of the Japanese players of XIV that only know about that game as well as FFXI, so they’re used to having a character that can’t jump. They don’t realize that you can jump in every other MMO in the world, so they have that aversion to it.

It’s not only Japan though. If you look at our forums, there are a lot of people, even in North America, who don’t want the jumping feature.

As for swimming, it would to be something that wasn’t just swimming. If we were going to put this in the game, we would want to make it a part of the game. For example, swimming to certain dungeons to do things, battles in water, etc. While this isn’t something we could put in for 2.0, it might be something we consider for the next expansion pack. We’d make sure that it would have something worthwhile.
We do have the swim suits, so they have to be good for something, right?

This is what i made this thread for. This interview here. He is not adding it now because of all the bitching in these forums. I hope other cool things they add do not get put on hold because of narrowminded people.

I think it's not because the bitching but because FF XIV need the new engine for this, which we get with 2.0 and not earlier.

Not 100% right

Examination of the implementation of jumping(moved from Current Tasks as lower priority)
*Implementation dependent upon risk analysis

"So you can explore more" (Yet ignoring the fact maps have to be designed in said way for this to even matter.)

No problem with 2.0
Map redesign is a part of 2.0

I dont understand. was that notwhat i said. Wasn't it for a summer release THEN it was canned and delayed? thats what i thought i said was happening.

Besides Yoshi says it in one of the interviews that he was surprised at the fan reaction and will not add it now. But he still wants it.

From what I gathered, he was just surprised that there were people that were asking for them not to add in jumping, it wouldn't make sense to me for him to say he would like to add it and then not.

Exactly, which is why I never get the whole "Jump will instantly solve all problems and allow us to explore more!" I've fallen out of pretty much every FFXIV map at least once lol, there's nothing to explore beyond what they want us to explore.

They even said all collision detection changes were temporary until map redesign.

No, the marked difference is:

"We will implement it" = It will be implemented.

"Examination of implementation" = Looking at the idea of implementing/how it would be/uses etc, not confirming it will be implemented.

You stated he said it will be implemented by end of summer.
