Are you people for real?

It's JUST JUMPING. This 21 page thread exists because one guy is disgusted by the possibility of seeing characters jump around?

No, it exists because the people who like/want jumping basically stated someone shouldn't have the ability to filter the animation if they choose to.

That's another way of saying it....

Be sure to add:

except you are wrong, it wont have any impact for battle, it clearly shows a lala jumping off a cliff, that is what I want jump for. I never once expected to be able to jump up to avoid Ifrit attacks, which wouldn't make any sense at all anyways since they are not just ground attacks but actual explosions.

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?

No words FFXIV forums. No words. That's not to say I believe this game NEEDS a jump command, but at the same time, why not?

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.

The toggle won't effect those that use jump, just how others see them. You can still jump around to your hearts content, but we won't see you doing it. It won't hurt you in any way.

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

ok but will it not bother you to see people slide up or down a cliff?

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.

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

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???"

For the 6th time I've mentioned it in this thread. Yoshi has stated that they have no plans for jumping to effect "any of the gameplay".

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

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.
