Jumping! What could this meannnnn

[SydeBeheln]

I'm sure a good lot of you have played wow, right? Does the unnecessary amount of it take away from the realism? Not saying wow is based on realism, but by adding such a feature into a game such as ffxiv for example.. seems unnecessary, and extremely unrealistic. However, If you have played ff13, then you know the seamless jumping feature they have in that game, makes perfect since.

How many times have you been running through the wild and all of a sudden you come across a ledge that is like 2 feet off the ground, BUT YOU CAN NEVER JUST HOP OVER IT. Instead you run half way across the map in the other direction just to get over that small 1-2 foot ledge.

There are some periods of time where my character will drop from a ledge, but there is no animation to back up this fact.

I am not asking for glowing blue circles on the ground to indicate available areas of jump. Just simply to apply the feature to areas such as the before-mentioned.
Along with that, some form of minor animation to give realism to the motion.

Jump or no Jump? It doesn't really make a difference, but if they do it, I hope it's not "space bar, space bar, space bar, space bar, space bar....."

tacky reply....

but yes this is a dead horse topic based on rumors that don't hold water if you actually played WoW recently. You rarely see spam jumping. And personally who the flip cares what OTHER ppl do just ignore them.

No you are right kilta, I only played wow for about 4 months, but 60% of the time I saw tooo much jumping. Like I said though, not that its based on realism.

Simply stating, I was worried it could end up like that.

Waaaiiiittt. Using the natural human ability to jump freely, instead of bumping into a blade of grass and not being able todo anything is "unrealistic"? I'm seriously confused. Please explain.

Honestly. I think you just are set on this game being different from WoW, than have a fun, useful, and REALISTIC feature.

I have stated in several posts that features in wow are revolutionary to MMORPG's. Do you realize that obviously I am not talking about the REAL WORLD ??? If you think it makes since for a title such as FF to have players jumping mindlessly across the map, then that's your opinion. IMO however, ease of exploration, and SUITABLE times of a feature such as jump make far more since in this game.
To each his own though eh

Umm. you haven't seen FF Advent children the movie. Have you?

Spoiler Alert! They make super man doing a jump look like a pussy!

BTW i agree in a climbing feature as well, I use a small ledge to give example to the idea. Climbing however works just fine for the same situation, and does in turn for a 1-2 foot ledge make more since.

People love to toss out FFXIII and Advent Children as good examples of jumping in Final Fantasy.

Jumping in both entries looked pretty retarded, and that's coming from someone who loves them both immensely

Kinda confused with your response. It seems you think I am implying there SHOULD be 100% jumping? read it all first.
or correct me if you have some deeper meaning.
