I just read there was a jump video?

[Armok]

I just read that in the live letter there was a video of jumping being introduced?

Is there any where that is hosting that section of video?

It's in one of these threads, I'll see if I can't find you the link, one sec.

Around the 36 sec mark.

Wow that's awful!

I hope they work on the jump animations.

Those mob mounts are pretty stupid too if they are a replacement to chocobos. It would be interesting as a quest objective (ride a Gobbue quest) but seems stupid to replace chocobos. The magitek looked okay.

edit: Wow, just watched it again. It's even worse the second time.

I supported jump and alternate mounts, but the reason why many people didnt and still dont is because they were afraid such things would look stupid. When people said "jumps always looks stupid in MMOs" my defense has always been that we should trust in SE's artistic abilities. If this new video is anything to go by, obviously we shouldn't! The jump looks so incredibly stupid.

Personally I think the jumping animations look pretty smooth, at the very least up to snuff with how other mmo's look, my only problem with it is how high you jump, but its all work in progress so i'm sure things will get ironed out.

Goddamn, I was expecting the number of trolls to rise as we moved towards december but we are reaching critical mass soon. I've counted 5 just today.

I'll bet 10 bucks half of them will still be around after subs start.

Well.. considering that all character races have to jump the same height, I think the Lalafell just -looks- like its jumping real high. But if a Roegadyn were to jump that same height, it wouldn't look like a big jump at all. Besides, have you seen that thickness of our legs? We're beastly jumpers :P

The animation is fine though, no different than any other game.

I hope they carefully look at the model boxes when determining the height of jumping. Some other games, it might appear that you are jumping the same height but you can't reach the same places on one race that you can as another.
