Will Mounts be able to jump?

Will chocobo mounts and special mounts be able to jump?

Since image of Jumping has been added in. We know you have jumping near ready. So hows mount jumping coming along?

[Rokien]

Really, what is the point in jumping ; ;

Really, what is the point in jumping ; ;

to be able to move in the third dimension?

What's the point in walking forwards and backwards?

What's the point in swinging a weapon?

Whether or not you like jumping though, I don't understand why this question has come up. It would probably depend on the mount.

"White Goobbues Can't Jump"

Jumping allows for more freedom in level design, and it is handy in navigating over/around annoying little obstacles. The fact that a couple little kids will act like morons is not a reason not to have this beneficial function.

At any rate, if jumping is enabled, it might be a problem if one has to dismount and remount any time a jump might be actually necessary, so if we can jump, mounts probably will too.

What annoying little obstacles? They made everything "YOU CAN GO THROUGH THIS DURP" also walking around for 1 second is sooo much work.
There are more obstacles in life, I pretty much NEVER jump over em 99% of the time the 1% is the time I just wanna see if I can jump over it. Fact is, there is no need for jump

maybe you don't need jump, but the rest of us would like it. It harms nothing and can only be helpful.

The only reason anyone EVER uses to attack it is "it's not "final fantasy" " or "People will jump around like idiots all the time."
To the former I say "Final Fantasy" is whatever the makers want it to be, and to the latter, I repeat, "A few idiots that act immature is not a reason not to implement a useful function.

Also: The world we have now was not built with jumping in consideration. The new world will be. When that time comes, you WILL have reasons to use it.

As long as it's not grossly unrealistic (e.g. jumping 4 times your height like Mario), jumping is a harmless function that can be useful when the world is designed with the understanding that the function exists. If someone wants to act like a retard with it, just blacklist them, ignore them, and move on. They'll stop as soon as they see that nobody wants to associate with them.

FINALLY, even in the current world there are still a lot of small ledges you can't simply walk off, rocks that are annoying and could be vaulted over if you could jump (A second saved is a second saved, I don't care if you think it's too small a benefit), and in particular, if you could jump, there are certain parts of places like Limsa Lominsa where you could get around much faster.

Speak for yourself pal. You mean there are a few of you, this "rest of us" crap is a heck of a stretch'

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)

It all depends on how they want to implement it at the end. If there's a point on jumping on a mount (even if seeing Goobbues jumping could be a lil' disturbing) then it might be implemented. If that's just for fun I think it's just waste of time since Jumping is not required for an RPG to have an important role.
But hey, I can be impressed if they actually give a good role into jumping =)

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.

I am no game designer but would this work in a turn based mmo?

Ugh... I'm really sorry, I've started the post so bad, I didn't want to make it like that, guess I was pretty tired when I wrote that =)
Anyway! It basically depends on the RPG we're playing. In some, jump is needed and in some not. I just can't see now a good use of the Jump thing other than screwing around with it, that's all. Still though, we'll see when they're gonna revamp the maps, maybe jumping will be helpful. We'll see =)

p.s. again, sorry for that, was very childish.
