Will Mounts be able to jump?

jumping s important and can add dept to combat. embrace it or go back to bed.

Yeah let's just shit on half the playerbase with bad connections and continue to add positional and reaction based content that kills them all the time.

Hell nobody at all can rely on "Timing" as it stands and it will probably continue to be a issue of some sort even in 2.0

in wow you must sometimes jump to move forward in dungeon or raid, also some hurtful abilities can be dodged by jumping. jumping s important and can add dept to combat. embrace it or go back to bed.

Blizzard designed the game to utilize Jump -- Most MMOs do not, they use it as only an animation and like the Goobbue mount, Jump in XIV will just be for fanservice, an animation only.

WTF am I reading
Those are the basics of an RPG, thanks, but have you ever seen a special role playing in Jumping until now on a turn-based/real-time RPG like the Final Fantasy series? (WoW, Aion, Rift and sh*t too)

Yes. Xenoblade Chronicles. The battle system is even very similar to FFXIV in a lot of ways and the landscape feels like it belongs in an MMO. You can jump over gaps and such but you cannot jump when engaged in battle which is exactly how it could work in FFXIV.

Really, what is the point in jumping ; ;

To get over obstacles and ledges in your path. Durr.

Every 3D game needs to allow the player to get over obstacles somehow. Either an auto-jump or a manual jump is fine, but you need to have one or the other. The fact that FF games haven't had either has been a blight on the series ever since FFX.

Even if the game isn't a platformer, the ability to jump still makes it easier and more enjoyable to traverse the landscape, since you don't have to worry about getting caught on or blocked by annoying knee-high ledges or other obstacles which, realistically, shouldn't be obstacles at all.

I hope none of the mounts can jump. Chocobos however, they can easily tie this into Chocobo breeding -- For example Red Chocobos could be able to jump, while our favorite Light Blue and Dark Blue chocobos can traverse watery obstacles, while our trusty purp-black/gold (FFIX) chocobos can fly.

I love this idea. It's very FF.

Thankfully, you're not in charge of this game.

Still attacking her because of being insecure, eh? You did prove my point though, you just hate Final Fantasy in general because if you took the time to read her post (funny, after telling someone else they lacked reading comprehension) her post clearly stated that jumping mounts could be easily tied into the chocobo system rather than random mounts being able to jump.

Though after all, you're too busy attacking her out of your own insecurities to understand how that's an even better idea as it not only adds content to final fantasy xiv, it makes "My little chocobo" even more of a personal aspect.

i agee with isaveron and it has nothing to do with insecuirty. why shouldnt our mounts be able to jump, but only boring specific chocobos? it is just silly. what if you are in mixed terrain with both obstacles and water? are we supposed to dismount, mount new mount, dismount, mount new mount? oh please
