Gamerescape Interview: Summons, Chocobos, Train Tracks and Rocks

[Anapingofness]

Greetings,

We would like to gather your thoughts about jump and how you would like it to be used (In combat? Getting around obstacles?) so we can pass them along to development team. Please let us know what you think. Thanks!

Personally, I'd like to see it used in combat as well as getting around obstacles. It'd add a pretty unique function to the jump ability that I really haven't seen in other MMO games that I've played. However, I'd like to be able to use it outside of those situations, more or less as I see fit.

It gets kind of annoying being grounded all the time. Restricting jump to specific situations would only frustrate me. "You mean I can't jump down this ledge that is half my height?D=" or some such thing.

On the other hand, any news from the dev team about the ability to swim? The potential for underwater levels and quests is quite strong, in my opinion.
