Jumping confirmed

[Zoltan]

The point is that there are so many other issues that need to be resolved before even considering the addition of a jump feature. That's a big reason why it's such a concern at this point.

I have yet to see anyone argue in favor of adding the jump feature other than "Woot" or "Yay" and getting over small objects.

Honestly are there really small rocks and obststacles that you cannot run over or around now? If you think that jump is going to allow you to move faster or in a straight line, then you are wrong.

They definitley should allow you to turn off the animation and ban it from cities like chocobos.

It's sad to see them adding this to FF. It was more unique in not having the feature. It is not a standard that adds to gameplay.

I completely agree. The good new is that this isn't going to be added any time soon, so there is still a small chance of this not happening. If it still is then I hope they reconsider and think well how they are going to introduce this.

i just hope they allow all the trolls and all the WoW clone wannabes the ability to jump off LL's bridges :P

Just gonna drop in here and clear up the fact that the jumping animations that were shown were just test animations and Yoshida felt the height was too high/over-the-top so things are still being adjusted. They weren't 100% finalized, finished animations but just a sample video to show off for fun during the LIVE broadcast.

That said, please continue with Jump discussion #2104.

It may seem like that, but I'm sure Bayohne counted them all, he such a good rep, i'm sure he would do that for us

I've never seen so many people nag and complain over them implementing a jump feature.

"Can I have a feature to turn off jump so I don't see it spammed?" Really? And square is gonna cater this jump feature they are spending time implementing so YOU can't see it. Wow, people amaze me

This is further proof why jumping shouldn't be in the game at all, because idiots like YOU can't understand that some of us don't find it attractive to the point we at least are asking to be able to turn it OFF and so you have to be tyrannical about it.

So innovation is going from 3 dimensions to 2? You must live in a weird alternate world, usually innovation means increasing potential, not reducing it.

Again, they know that there is an issue with the jump height, They are fine tuning it. Calm down.

Unless you want a platformer (which is NOT an RPG), jumping is NOT a 3d-feature. Quite frankly, turning XIV into an MMOP would even be construed as false advertisement.

I love being called an idiot and I love flagging people for it

Why can't you just get used to a jump feature? What turns you off about it so much? They have new zones they are planning, and jump might actually be a part of the new maps, NO ONE KNOWS. Like it's been said numerous times, the only "proof" you have of people spamming it is from other games and OTHER people denying that it actually happens.

And what is this about it being turned into an MMOP.. er what the eff is that? What are you making up now to try and prove a point? I just can't believe people are so against something like JUMP. lol you final fantasy hardcore fanboys make me laugh

No, no, no, no, no. Don't you understand? It's over NINE-THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crap, Urthdigger beat me to it...
