Jumping confirmed

[CrystalObsidian]

I would be more confused at the hostility to the point of flaming someone for wanting jumping. Nothing will satisfy them short of not having it at all including any other features they dislike.

If they have such a deep rooted hatred towards jumping in any form because they find it disruptive then wheres the thread about emote spam and repeatedly (dis)mounting your chocobo? Right, because very few people do it. You have no actual case beyond anecdotal evidence. I've been playing WoW, Aion and Rift over 7 years and you have no idea what you are talking about if you think everyone is jumping all the time.

I played the WoW demo for a few days. I didn't travel to many towns, but lot of people were bunny hopping, and it was a huge eyesore. I believe that's evidence enough to know what I'm talking about.

I did a trial of WoW, and I've watched friends play.. everywhere.. people hopping... hopping insanely high... people hopping even inside buildings, smashing their heads against the ceilings.. hopping instead of running or walking. It really WAS an eyesore. lol I think it didn't annoy me as much in Aion because I rarely saw people hop for no reason, they jumped to begin flying.
I hope SE can do a good job of it, and restrict it where needed. That's all I'm asking for at this point.

What I want to know, is with this whole map re-vamping deal, as well as jumping being thrown in, will we be able to jump onto and off of things? Like in Aion, you could jump off of pretty much anything, nevermind the whole flying bit, and take damage if you fall too far. It would be neat to add that sort of movement freedom not only to getting over that rock which is just slightly higher than the ground you're walking on, but could(in my opinion) be used to make certain instances or boss fights more than just run away from skill a, stay behind to avoid skill b.

I can picture a group fighting Titan in a sandy, craggy area. Titan begins a chain of abilities, starting with something like quicksand to aoe bind anyone standing in sand and not on one of the rocks. He then follows up with a skill that hits harder, the closer you are to him. Finishing the combo, he uses a third ability which I cannot think of a name for, which detonates all of the safe-zone rocks and causes new ones to fall from the ceiling, forcing a repositioning, movement, and preventing people from standing in one spot the entire throwdown.

Despite the one or two curveballs that Ifrit can randomly toss your way, he's mostly a tank-and-spank fight. Something to get your fingers moving would be more appealing to people like me, who like challenges.

For everybody here who hates jumping. Once it is implemented, I will create a character on your server and bunny hop around you for the duration or your logon session..... Just to piss you off.

Touche!

Must... stay... away...

Must... not defend... jump... all over... again.

Mustn't reference... FFXI... or Jennestia... will find more reasons... to... post more... QQ about... how it was... so perfect...

<thud>

Seriously guys, I really want to see your actual rage faces while you type about how jump annoys ya'll so much. Probably looks something like this:

[Dalmore]

right now jump is NOT needed.
I dont see a VALID need for jump, besides Dragoon.
this game is already lazy enough with all the nodes around people cant run around a cliff or rock?
there goes the FF feel Yoshi was talking about.
games with jump, people just spam it for no reason ALL the time everywhere.
jump emote? ok. jump in battle or pvp? no thanks. THE SINGLE WORSE THING ABOUT MOST GAMES PVP.
will it be cartoonish or comic? Most likely.
action triggered jump for cliffs or walls or hopping deep cracks in the ground. ok
jump on a chocobo. no thanks unless action triggered related.
either way a lala jump will look comic or cartoonish anyway its done, that or completly useless cause they shouldnt be able to jump over same things bigger races can.

my thought on the matter results........ SE + FFXIV + JUMP = {NO, THANKS}

Dear SE, if you are going to implement jump please have it be use for a purpose. Instances of Jump usage may include but not be limited to:

- Jumping to get an apple from a branch of a tree for a quest
- Jumping to get on your mount
- Jumping to get up steps (Yea, it may be annoying, but that's why there's a jump function)
- Jumping to get across ledges when ascending a mountain, otherwise you fall to the ground and start all over again (Think of Attohwa Chasm and climbing up that mountain, something unique)
- Jumping to avoid ground type AoE's (It definitely would add a uniqueness to battle)

My point being, please implement a FUNCTIONAL use for jump rather than just having it be cosmetic.

Thank you!

P.S. I understand that it's a dead horse, but ranting gives me Sleep +1.

I've never seen a group of people hate jumping so much. If you're not a huge fatty, you should try it IRL sometime. It's actually pretty fun to do for no reason at all.

No point beating a dead horse any longer. Jumping has been confirmed. There is no changing minds of the devs. Don't see why this thread should continue any longer. Regardless more anti-jump threads keep pouring in, it's not going to disable the jumping feature.

Reasons are simple: CONFIRMATION MADE. DECISION ACHIEVED. WORKS-IN-PROGRESS. There is no turning or looking back for Yoshida & Co. So save your troubles, do not bother to continue beating a dead horse. It is a good move by the devs. I support their decision in making this possible. How the devs intend to utilize the Jump feature functionality will be made known to us in the coming patches. So happy gaming.

P.S. For the laughs. Just imagine utilizing the jump feature in style of the Assassin's Creed game lol. No surprise they would add climb in
