Kugane Sightseeing Jump Puzzle

[DracotheDragon]

i dont mind the jump puzzles but the one thing i wish they would fix is the collission data, half the time i am being bumped by an invisable wall around the model, or being stopped by an invisable wall x-x other then that no real complaints, i almost made it to the top before falling ALLL the way back to the bottom with one bad jump

Do you know if I get to the top, my EB can use her ring to get there no problem?

i have seen people do this so i am assuming it works

The games jump mechanics are too inconsistent and the jump puzzle requires too many invisible ledges to accurately jump around another invisible structure. So, I hope I don't see any more unless they drastically change how this game works in regards to jumping.

Yup! It worked perfectly.

The jumping puzzle was a mess, I agree with people here. The invisible walls, the clunky hitboxes... It was a nightmare. It was worth it, though, being able to climb it before the dawn.

Yeah no this game is trash-tier for jumping puzzles. The fact that you can barely control your jumps at all is infuriating for something like this to be blocking completionism. Not to mention this one puzzle is riddled with invisible walls that make you have to stand in the air more than you actually stand on the pegs and camera angles that just make it near impossible to see where you're jumping.

This heap is a 0/10 for me.
Revamp the character control system and then get back to me on this, SE.


A few examples of how horridly crafted this "puzzle" is.

You have to stand on the invisible collision box of this peg to land on the invisible collision box of the next. If you land on the actual physical peg, you will hit your head on the roof and not make the jump.



You have to stand on the invisible collision box of this peg to make it to the ledge, otherwise the invisible collision box of the corner will be in the way of your jump.


Imo, burn this thing to the ground, put the vista somewhere actually accessible and then reimplement this thing when you've actually QA tested it. Because right now, it's only "fun" to masochists.

This needs more attention so SE can see it.

I actually really enjoyed it for what it was. I will agree though, this game needs better hitboxes on objects if they make more of these. Control while in the air was no issue for me as i learned there are 2 different jump speeds. When i learned to do those at will it became trivial save for one jump to do it. The one going from the banner to the pole, stretching over nothingness was only doable for me using Fists of Wind.

I would like more of these, but at a more reasonable skill level. Standing over the edge should not be required.

While the idea is good, the bad jumping system this game's got coupled with a plethora of invisible walls made this more annoying than fun.

This is not a good game for jump puzzles, sorry. I'm sure the guide will be helpful to some, but I hope it's the last jump puzzle I ever see in ffxiv.

You have only two: half jump and full jump, all depending on how long you hold down the key. Hugging walls actually screws you over. That's all the Kugane Tower is.

The view is great from up there, but considering how annoying it is to get up there, and unless you're really great at handling half and full jumps on the tower, you'll only realistically enjoy it once. Which is, ultimately, a shame.



Being done in 45 seconds.

I did the puzzle multiple times as a max height Highlander and max height Roegadyn. It's fine.
