It's also personal preference of yours that jump be in the game, am I not allowed to have my own opinion? Why do people think not having jump is what makes a MMO "archaic" and "barbaric?" Why does WoW, I don't care if you don't like to hear it, you know it's true, have to be the standard for every MMO? Just because the millions of Korean and Chinese knockoffs(racism is not intended) all follow WoW in an attempt to cash in on it's success doesn't mean this game should.

Just because SWTOR, Rift, GW2 and Tera can't think of anything new but small tweaks to the WoW formula, which isn't entirely original in itself, doesn't mean that other MMOs can't try something different. It's not a "MMO standard," it's a stagnating formula.

If wow's formula isn't original then that means another game did it before wow, and if another game did it before wow why not complain about them instead?

Its a bit difficult to come up with anything these days if everything good and bad can be associated with wow.

Let's open a new thread about this in about 1-2 months.
I don't like it too.

Oh dear, jumping... did ffxiv players actually want this? So gimmicky.

The sad thing is that this thread complaining about a pre alpha animation for a highly irrelevant (albeit popular) feature will get far more posts than all other threads talking about the (awesome) letter combined.

Kriss Cross can make you Jump, Jump.

I'm SO MAD they're adding jump. My character is supposed to be attached to the ground AT ALL TIMES!

It's a good thing there aren't any weapon skills in the game where your character jumps...that would break ALL OF MY IMMERSION!!!

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.

[Nabiri]

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?
