Toggle Jump

Some people have their tighty whities on today it seems.

You all know that thats a way to make both sides happy?
It seems ppl that dont like jump are ok with it but would be great if they could toggle it, so why the others , that like jump bother with how (the "no jump" players) see their own game?
Why do you care if I see you gliding in the air in MY screen? Does it kill your "immersion"?
......
I say give both sides what the want, easy fix.

Since we will be having a jump action in 2.0 it would be really nice if the devs could add a simple option for you to toggle if you can see people jumping or not. I'm happy if people want to jump around for no reason but I don't really want to see people hopping all over cities, so a simple option to toggle it off would be great!

/display jump on /display jump off would do fine, or an option in the menu.

I'm for this if you're not going to be able to jump as a means of passing certain obstacles, like fences. If they don't do this maybe you can just .dat swap out the animation, though.

So people would rather see people running through objects, running up 90 degree walls a few feet high, and floating over gaps in the ground? Thats more immersive?

Also, why are people under the impression that FF games are in any shape realistic? Have you ever seen a cutscene in a FF game before? Hell, Cloud jumps about 30 miles into the air with the help of his party in Advent Children. Seriously, he does it like its nothing. Sure, in the real world it might not be realistic to jump 6 feet into the air with full armor on...but that never stopped damn near every other character in the FF universe from doing it 10 times worse.

Back to my main point. I highly doubt jump is just going to be an animation, it would be a total waste of time, and only piss people off. It wont be used in combat, much like its not in almost every MMO. That being said, I will bet money that it will be used for traversing the world. I dont know about you, but Im sick of not being able to jump over small logs, or take shortcuts on ramps, so on, and so forth.

Cmon people...How is jumping in armor "unrealistic"? Are you just choosing the ignore that people are casting magic spells in this game? I dont know about you, but I see people jump much more often than I see people cast magic.

There are no plans for using the jump for -->ANY<-- elements of gameplay it’s just there for those that want to jump.

I'm not sure if they can make it any more clear.
Interacting with your environment is gameplay. I'm pretty sure the ifrit thing was an example of one of the many things you can't do with it.

I didn't know walking was apart of game play 0.0. That could mean it's not battle related and example he gave leaned towards that cause he said you wouldn't be able to jump out of ifrits plumes but never said you couldn't jump up an cliff. So you can stop spamming that quote.

Any part of interacting with a game is considered gameplay.

I spam the quote because it seems like some people are having trouble reading or remembering it.

I never knew anyone who claims walking as gameplay.
