Believe it or not I have been playing xi since '04. I still do. In fact I'm on your server. Imagine that D: lol

I have no problem with xi's elements being incorporated into xiv. I just don't like the time sinks for the sake of time sinks in both games. If done correctly I think the battle regimen would be a nice addition. I loved sc'ing in xi, sadly no one does it anymore.

Yeah, which is something I think a lot don't realize, even if they borrow from XI it won't be an exact copy since I mean..people complained about even 5 minute lockout timers in this game, I highly doubt they'd copy the time sinky nature of x content concept if they do use it lol. SC+MB was one of my favorite things to do especially as a BLU since you can SC and MB all on your own if no one else in the party wanted to.

Forumites: EVERY OTHER MMO HAS JUMP, UNREALISTIC IF CAN'T JUMP! WANT IMMERSION JUMP, GIVE US NOW!!!

Devs: But we've built a game where you don't need to jump.

Forumites: GIVE NOW OR /RAGEQUIT!!!

Devs: sigh... Ok, we got it working for 2.0. But please understand that it will not have an impact on gameplay. Its just for your immersion.

Forumites: WTF DEVS!?! WE GET JUMP AND IT NOT DO NOTHING??! MAKE IT HAVE REASON FOR JUMP!! GIVE US JUMP ZONE FOR MARIO ACTION GAMEPLAY, MAKE FOR BATTLE JUMPING!

Devs: orz, why do we even bother?

I really can't wait till someone tries to "jump" over their first fence

Actually the devs wanted to put in jump before ppl asked for it and when they did you guys raged.

being able to bunny hop around is more realistic than not being able to jump up or down a 1 foot cliff. Not having jump breaks my immersion.

it does? cause what other FF was there that you could jump in? did you call SquareSoft back in the day that your immersion was ruined?

I think most if not all FF games had at minimum contextual jump xD

Context Jumping.. it had a purpose in those games -- so much so that you couldn't jump unless you needed to.

FFXIV jumping is the exact opposite. It's 100% meaningless - and you can do it at any time.

For the record, I would have very much preferred the FFX-2, and FFXIII style jumping in this game if it was integrated into the initial design.

But it wasn't, so I don't think jumping (as a silly emote-style action) is needed at all.

Yeah, the devs are gonna regret opening this can of worms if they don't plan on rebuilding every zone to accommodate it.

New players will be baffled by it as well: "So I can jump higher than this table/ledge/fence/rock/log/cliff/etc/etc/etc..but I can't land on it?? WTF is jumping for???"

wrong, FFXIII-2 you could jump when ever you wanted to, and it wont be meaningless in FFXIV it just wont be used to dodge abilities in battle, I want it for terrain navigation I think it is a safe bet that pro-jumpers want it for the same reason. I dont care if they add a filter but I think if they do you folks will just bitch about people sliding up and down things.

Ok my bad let me rephrase that GOOD Final Fantasys that you could jump.
