Will Mounts be able to jump?

[Alhanelem]

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.
