Jumping confirmed

[DeadRiser]

Once again you continue to fail at being understanding. I've seen better crap out of the biased news networks than what you just spewed.

Okay, maybe they should make a tedious/hard quest that requires defeating an 18hr Pandaemonium Warden just to obtain the ability to jump. There, I compromised even more!

Then again... won't anyone think about the controller people? Just because they're an endangered species doesn't mean they shouldn't be protected.

I don't get what point you are trying to make. All I said was that there can't be a middle ground for a jump feature. You either have it or you don't. You want them to blurr out people while they are jumping? Or them to look like they are still walking through an object when they actually jump over it?

Answer that please, because you didn't answer it the first time.

LMAO! You sir made my day with that comment. That's rich since how the hell their going to put a jump command input on the controller since is already set with current game without remapping the whole thing all over again.

First off, this made me laugh really hard. XD Thankies~ <3

Second... that reminded me.. I had a dream last night that they implemented jump and there was no room for it on the controller.. And SE was like "Sorri gaiz! haz to uze keybrd!" But it was locked to the space bar.. I couldn't change it to another key, so every time I went to type my character jumped around like a dumb***. :x That dream sucked. lol
True story. (That's what I get for reading forums before bed. lol)

Edit: If jumping looks terrible I would also like an option to not see it. I don't care if people are sliding/running up hills. That I can ignore. Bouncing all over, I cannot.

Dragon you're really too invested into this.

Jumping is not a major issue. In spite of the genre, this is just a game. Quit moping over a feature other people want that has virtually no impact on actual gameplay.

Honestly, I don't care either way. I do hate invisible walls or tiny cliffs preventing my character from moving latterally over something they could easily climb or jump on. So yes, in this way jumping would be smart to impliment.

Are people going to hop around like bunnies and be annoying. Yep. But it's not as if that's not done already with emote spamming. If you're that easily broken up about something as simple as how someone else's character model moves, perhaps MMOs are not for you. There are plenty of other games that allow you to party with your friends online nowadays to have fun, and the fantasy genera is starting to pick up on the bug to. Why not play one of those instead? That way you can control your interaction with people if you feel as if you absolutely CANNOT tolerate immature behavior.

As far as implementing a feature that removes the jump animation from the game. It seems to be a rather useless feature, one that could potentially harm your gameplay if you're not seeing your fellow players jump at a needed time.

As far as finding a mechanical use for it. What about it being capable of evading low attacks? Flying enemies can evade low-to-ground attacks by virtue of dropping. Why not have some monster or player actions evaded in the same manner? This would be a good mechanic perhaps for some arena based battles at least, though, the lag issue would first have to be addressed.

A jump feature is nothing to be in arms about. Yoshi-p seems to want to make jumps look well enough to be in the game and is trying to establish a good aesthetics for it as well, and there is room for actually making it useful in an MMO environmental (bypassing poorly designed trip-ups).

Some of you people are taking this way too seriously.

MMOs are free roam. Jumping is now a standard.

Problem?

[MistyMew]

jumping? EXCELLENT!
got my vote since it may be fluff but it in no way does any harm whatsoever.

anyone annoyed at a player jumping needs to seek medical help.

if i can stomach males in lolsubligars and not vomit...(almost though) then ppl can deal with a jump

good grief ppl calm down

Insulting people for their opinion is unjustified. That is called an ad hominem attack and is really like bullying.

Name one single person who is waiting to play FFXIV because there is no jump feature now.

You can't.

Reiterating the statement that it is an MMO standard is no valid justification for it being in an MMO.

The fact is is that it is not needed and MANY people believe that it will negatively impact their game experience because it WILL turn Final Fantasy into just another MMO with people hopping around in towns.

If you can't understand that then that is your own short coming.

It is impossible to expect anyone to respect anyone else's opinion. Especially in an MMO forum.

The reason why people have posted their concerns is because many of them want restrictions placed on this new jump feature.

There are many that do not want people bunny hopping all over town for various reasons.

It is very sad people say that they will make a video or jump around to annoy people.

I really hope that they do read some of these posts and realize what a HUGE mistake they are making if they add jump with no restrictions or limitations.

Many people do not want a duplication of other features of MMO's without justification.

This makes them worse than people who are against it or would feel their game experience hindered by it since it clearly would draw in the type of playerbase who would go out of their way to annoy people, which is exactly why a lot of people didn't want to see XIV turn into "just another MMO".

Lol. How in the world will adding an insignificant game mechanic turn this game into every other MMO? Do you even read what you say after you type it? You know what's turning FFXIV into every other MMO? If anything, that will be 2.0, and here you are crying about jumping. I swear to god some people on here make me ashamed to be a fan of this series, this is, and always will be one of the saddest arguments I have ever come across, ever. Also, you state that insulting someone for their opinion is unjustified then right after that here is you; "If you can't understand that then that is your own short coming ".And one last thing, stating an opinion as fact does not mean it's a fact, and trying to push an opinion as fact does not mean it's a fact. That sir, is a fact.

I was referring to the post above the one that I made.

Sorry if you missed that.

Praise the 12.
