Will Mounts be able to jump?

Quote from first page, I'm kind of sad that it's true that people care more for jumping or not mounts than crucial aspects of the game.

jump is crucial. no jump can be a massive turnoff for some new players.

Jumping is extremely unnecessary and a huge amount of games don't need it. And if you need it THAT badly to enjoy a game, then why the hell are you here, playing FFXIV, and basically telling other's that jump is necessary to bring in new players?

Completely a matter of opinion whether you feel it's unnecessary or not, and a huge amount of games do need it. In the big granddaddy of them all, WoW, many areas would be very difficult to navigate without being able to jump (And by extension, fall off ledges and such that this game doesn't allow you to do, either)

It's beyond me why anyone would object to jumping being in a game for anything other than the already discredited reason of "kids will jump around like idiots all the time," which, again, is a load of crap. Just don't give them the attention they want, and they will stop.

It depends on how the game is designed and what the gameplay is like. But pretty much any 3D game that doesn't include either an auto-jump or manual jump will feel cumbersome and clunky.

The oposite could be said as well, considering the massive discussion this topic brings up every single time. It's a polarizing subject that people either love or hate, don't just assume that adding jump is going to stop new people from playing the game. For all you know having jump could turn people away from the game.

oh please no one is going to be turned off by being able to jump. these humans who are offended by jumping are just ridiculous children and it just unheard of until now. if you dont like jumping dont jump.

why should we players be shakled down because of humans with backwared views?

Step 1: Look at a Gobbue. Take a note of the folds of loose flabby skin
Step 2: Watch videos of old or obese people jumping
Step 3: Consider the effects jumping would have on the folds of skin on a Gobbue
Step 4: Re examine the question ... do you REALLY want mounts to jump.

Will chocobo mounts and special mounts be able to jump?

I really hope all mounts can jump, some higher than others. Starting 2.0 with the new client and all of course. *crosses fingers*

[KamikazeMan]

They most likely be able to since our PCs will be able to jump come 2.0.
