Get rid of jumping puzzle in Kugane

[Skivvy]

It wouldn't be nearly as bad if the walkmesh's hitboxes weren't so odd and the engine had more graceful jumping.

Exactly. JPs can be really fun, and the best ones will frustrate you a bit, but lets not pretend that XIV has mastered the art of JPs. They have so many bizarre hit boxes and spots where you need to aim for empty air - that shouldn't be a thing.

No if anything we need more of these.

ARR was the best set of sightseeing logs.

If it weren't for the stupid weather/time of day conditions (which they notably did not repeat for the HW/SB logs), I would agree with you.

Agreed.
If it was Weather OR time of day, then I wouldn't mind but both together is annoying, especially for ones that are indoor, where neither of those things matter because they're always lit. :B

What we really need is an Aethernet Shard at the top. So once you complete it you can always just aethernet back up there if you want to see the nice view again.

Then it will not optional anymore, but neccessary to unlock all city aethernet teleports.
Just hide a key at the top that give the player access to the hidden elevator.

Say what? It took me hours and hours and hours of practice and I finally got up there yesterday feeling so proud of myself. I jumped off and tried it again and it's easier now cause of my dedication. You just sound like you want someone to hold your hand like you're a little kiddy. It's hard and I knew I couldn't do it without practicing. Some of the jumps are annoying but hey it's a break from the subpar endgame

Edit: I am so sorry. After doing this myself I somewhat agree with OP. Getting to the top of the tower should have been where the sightseeing point is. That alone was enough of a pain, given all the invisible walls in this game. Jumping off onto the lamp post is just poor game design. Apparently SE didn't learn a thing from the player reaction to the notoriously shitty North Shroud jump.

Challenging is one thing, but this kind of indifference to the limitations of the game in regards object hitboxes and precise positioning is just atrocious design.

"I can't do it, so get rid of it."

No.

It definitely needs to be reworked, though, you have to admit.

[FoxyAreku]

My only problem was when they put an extra one on top of that brown thing on ground level, and the only way to get to it was by jumping off the very top of the building in a very specific way.

Still did it with some marriage ring abuse, though. You aren't entitled to complete everything in the game if you aren't good enough to do so, get over it.

[Listrella]

it's entirely OPTIONAL, if you don't like it you don't have to do it, that's no reason to remove it from the game.
