Toggle Jump

[Denmo]

It was one of many reasons the game was unbearable. If you think its okay to just leave it out AGAIN, be ready for another disaster, a disaster which you can credit to the white knights and people living in the past. Only this time it would be worse.

"Squeenix STILL didn't add jump!? WTF is wrong with them?!"
"Well you see, we had these people on the forums who said it was annoying..."
"No excuses. 4.0. AGAIN"

You guys have absolutely no scope for the competition. You need jump. Bitching about it isn't going to help. Bitching about a toggle isn't going to help, and will just make the game stupid.

I'm all for jumping, but your reasoning is ridiculous.

Am I wrong then? You think it will be okay when every other game has jump, and FFXIV still doesn't have jump after getting criticized for it at the initial launch?

Yes, because FFXIV is sticking to high fantasy low tone realism. The armor, the weapons, the world, the mobs, the spells, the abilities, the emotes. It all has a very solid and firm feel to it. They've spent a very long time making the World carry weight and it is going to be obliterated, dragging through the streets by its intestines, and burned because Jumping in any sensible fashion is going to either be over the top. Or so close to reality that is won't be useful. Christ man! Is it so hard to accept that this game is one a single plane? That we don't have flying mounts or can jump off mountains and hang air for 3 minutes until we reach the bottom?

And being unable to get past a one foot high wall because you can't leave the ground, that fits with low tone realism?
