How often do you jump in this game?

[Unholychinchilla]

I remember back in the beta for 1.0 (I never played 1.0 on live) the was no jumping and I found it really awkward, being sort of glued to the floor. Even when you don't need it, it just feels more natural to have the option. Otherwise you hit a point when your instinct is to jump and your train of thought just crashes to a halt.

For some reason my Viera alts jump more, but I do jump more when bored.

Pre launch there was a lot of discussion on weather or not jumping should be brought in or not. A crap-ton of people coming from FFXI (most) did not want as FFXI didn't have it. In 11 we all had to walk 10 yalms around a ilm cliff and we liked it!! 14 should of course do the same.

I jump over the guard rails after aggroing the spotlight groups at the end of Castrum. I use jump for various other things. I'd rather jump exist, than not.

P.S. Gold Saucer jump puzzles.

Does it ever feel pointless?

Looks like someone skipped over the sight seeing logs. And the shirogane beach tower.

It is pointless a lot of the time. It would be nice if it actually worked.

I remember back in its day people use to jump over the poison puddles in AV but still get the debuff even though they never actually touched the poison. It's a little thing but be cool if jumping worked on stuff like that. There are quite a few other examples of similar things in various dungeons or encounters where it would be cool if jumping worked.

You gotta jump with the proper timing while connecting with the animations for paladin and warrior combo enders, the momentum just carries that extra oomph

This one knows what's up.

Also samurai doing the kasha combo. Dat downward slash as you time the jump is slick.

I hope now and then when waiting in queue. Usually to fence post to fence post or something.
If I'm actually around others I maintain a semblance of maturity.

It was made pretty useless on purpose. The devs didn't feel jumping had a place in the game, and it wasn't in FFXI or 1.0. But enough people wanted it, so they were all "Ok, we'll add it, but we won't make it mandatory." Minus that one ledge in Totorak
