    Because unless when they redesign the maps they remove pretty much every invisible wall that still exists and the vertical movement still isn't glitchy (trust me, anyone who's fallen out of the map knows exactly how off the movement is on the z-axis) it won't have a practical use for anything other than to give the people who want Jump the ability to jump.

    I mean look at Tera and Archeage... You can climb, swim, jump, go through platforms.
    It's also pretty iffy in Tera, this is why only a few MMOs actually utilize it, because the mechanics aren't the most solid things around.

    Because it's not Final Fantasy? Why do people say that?
    I've yet to see anyone say "It's not FF", considering I recall doing all 3 in pretty much every FF game I've played (including XI have some climbing style mechanics even if it was a CG scene.)

    I've seen a lot of people say leave it to other MMO's it's not a FF thing.

    I'm glad they are adding it though. That's all I can say anymore.

    Like I personally say, just because another MMO does something doesn't mean FFXIV needs to -- People get so bent out of shape when you say SE should use what worked from the previous Final Fantasy MMORPG they created and make it better, I never understood why it's okay to make FFXIV into a generic MMO that's been coming out since 2004. The only reason Tera or Archage has any hype is because they aren't just generic copies of WoW in a sense (more blatant example, Rift and SWTOR), they're actually trying something different.

    Even though it didn't work out too well for Tera though.
