Jumping confirmed

[Jinko]

And it looks as terrible as everyone imagined. Yes, I realize those are pre-alpha animations, but with lalafell jumping 6 feet into the air and the concept in general, this is starting to look more and more like Final Fantasy of Warcraft online with each development.

Lalafell jumps more like Mario IMO

Typical that people quickly run to WoW as an insult though, geezz can you people not come up with something more orginal.

Well, I wasn't impressed. ._. The lalafell jumps way too high, the hyur looked awkward as well. I want to know what will be done to prevent everyone from bouncing all the time (which Yoshida-san has acknowledged in the past is a fear of many players) and the game from becoming a massive joke. I also want to know if jumping could be kept out of PvP and battles..
Actually, another good question is... where the heck will this fit on the controller?

Oh and it was a low-angle view on the video, makes it look higher than it really is.

I think the jumping looks good, and it's a nice height. In FFXI the tarutaru had the highest AGI stat, it's no surprise that something that size can have a bit of a spring to it (like a RL friend of mine in high school was damn short and used to always win high jump at athletics).

If it was lower people would complain and ask what the point of implementing a jump is if it wasn't high enough to jump over most objects.

[Lebannen]

As long as they make the jump a tad lower I would be fine with it.

Chrono Trigger had jump since 1995. Stop spamming wow

I am pretty sure the jump height is the same for all races. It is just that since the lala is smaller he seemed to be jumping more. If they made his jump proportionate to his body then he would be at a disadvantage compared to the less vertically challenged in Eorzea.

[Buddhsie]

inb4 if you don't like the way jump looks don't use it? lol

[Quisi]

Right now walking on a vertical cliff side is more immersion breaking than jumping on the top of this small cliff. So I'm happy they will add it.

[Nakiamiie]

Yay! Jumping!!

As for the animation of it, relax guys, it's not coming before next year, they'll fix it (they already said it is for testing purpose as of now).
