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.

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.

[SydeBeheln]

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.

FF is based more on realism, while WoW is based much more on cartoons.

In reality, you don't fucking jump 5 feet in the air while just standing still. As for the ledges, it pisses me off, too. But in reality, I wouldn't jump to get over a 3 foot ledge. WOULD YOU? No, you climb it.

I say implement the ability to climb over some hinders, but leave jumping to WoW.

I love realism in my MMOs. I don't see people hopping around like bunnies on the streets when I go out, they're too busy killing small rodents with balls of fire and creating magical potions.

why so many people afraid of some players jump spamming?

those kind of troll players are not the FFXIV fanbase and is it so annoying that much if someone jumping around you?

Enter fantasy game; argue realism


Two words and a roman numeral to solve this issue: Final Fantasy XIII

/bow thank you! Glad we solved that.

It doesn't happen in WOW as often as people make it out. I'm willing to be that 90% of the people who are against jumping because of spamming haven't even played WOW, much less seen anyone truly spam jumping. It's a stupid fucking bandwagon hate train.
