is there anyway to make keyboard controls tighter for jumping puzzles?

[Vahlnir]

Leap of Faith and Cliffhanger use large enough platforms that it's not really an issue. Other jumping puzzles, especially the big one in Kugane, have tiny footholds that even a lalafell hangs off of.

And then once you manage to make it up the tower, you need to make a precise sprinting jump for the lamp post at the base for another point in the sightseeing log. That one's just sadism.

Someone on my server was offering raises to BLUs who self destructed near the lamp post so they could be raised on top of it for the log entry toward the end of Stormblood. I'm guessing it still happens every now and then. I'd have never bothered with it otherwise. Climbing that tower once was enough.

I've done this. Spent a week on top of the lamp post, talking with people, making friends, and reviving folks up into place.

Made so much progress towards the reviging people achivements that way.

There have been jump puzzles attached to Vistas since day one. Apkallu falls, and such. Not the elaborate ones we have now, but it was always a thing to some extent. (And they still predate the Gold Saucer.)

I never really counted that one as a jump puzzle, or the lamp post one in Ul'Dah, or that one on the wall in Gridania since it's just climbing up somewhere and lining yourself up. Or that jump in the SB MSQ. That was just some minor platforming. So maybe more like jump challenges?

It's the ones with consecutive jumps that I see people call actual jump puzzles and where problems lie, since it's one janky jump after another and they're not easy to reset for another try if you're far along.

None of the jumping puzzles are really "puzzles" beyond figuring out how to get from A to B and figuring out how to line yourself up.
Some of those ARR ones are definitely bigger head scratchers than anything on Kugane Tower, which is very clear and straightforward and the challenge is in the execution more than solving anything.

It's also possible the term is inaccurately being adopted from another game and we're all just splitting hairs.
