Jumping confirmed

[Zenaku]

The jumping look dumb i don't mind if they add jumping swiming or even flying mount as long as they look good doing them,.

See, while jumping might add new dynamics to combat and obviously zone traversal, it doesn't really imply that new zones would be added.

But swimming, hot damn. Not only can they add more depth(no pun intended) to content like spearfishing, but they can also a whole new slew of zones like underwater ruins, caves, cities, etc. Just think about being able to swim down the Abyss and conduct raids on Sahagin strongholds, or maybe cities lost from the destruction of the 6th Umbral Era. Think of the possibilities for a new aquatic race!

I was neither for nor against jumping when this came up before, but since it's being implimented... I really don't see why it has to be "realistic". We're heros in a Final Fantasy game. There are no shortage of characters making unrealistic jumps in this series.

Wow ... our characters look like they are taking jumping lessons from FFXIII characters. Jumping 2 stories high. Now they just need to add some random flips.

Show me a cliff so I CAN JUMP OFF, cause at the moment instead of JUMPING down a hill, like you do in REAL LIFE, you can't atm. YAY FOR JUMPING HATERS GONNA HATE

In my opinion I don't want jump at all.

There are jumping animations and they are cool because of your lock to the ground.
Just because there are jump animations should not mean your character should jump everywhere.
I don't care about the immersion argument as it can always goes both ways.

I don't want to have to do gimmicky jump games or tactics.

I enjoy so many games without jump and I enjoy some with jump as well. It depends on the game and this game isn't such a game that requires jump. It doesn't need to be a platformer or the next uncharted.

Characters always look weird when they jump. The video is a prime example, even if it is jump "alpha stage".

So what if you have to take the extra step around, enjoy the scenery or take your chocobo. Are we really this lazy we need them to add some feature that is so over the top pointless?

about time they're going to add jump. i think its a bit too high though.
