Ha. If we wanted realistic games; than FPS would be harder. I don't think you can be shot 4-5 times in other body parts and still run around to get your head shot and have a medic pack to cure yourself. Sorry folks. Life doesn't work that way.

We play these "fantasy" games because we want a BREAK from realistic things; life in general.

If you want "realistic" things in your game. Go play 'Life'. I hear it's free.

Once again you're showing your arrogance.

Just because it's unrealistic doesn't mean it shouldn't be rendered realistically.

Why don't you explain yourself instead, because I'm not the pot calling the kettle black.

Avatar:
Realistic. You felt as if that world existed. (again subjective)

Video Games:
Never happened yet.

There has not been nor will I think there ever will be a game that renders someone jumping but first squatting, going into there, having a brief pause than landing and squatting to break the impact.

Running and jumping has NEVER been rendered realistically in game.

It's a waste of resources and time; you would then have to account for any and all things you would possible land on.

What happens when you hit a fence by accident?
Do you trip?
Does your character fall down like a child and get a cut on your knee?

Name me ONE game that shows this as prior art; with "REALISTIC" gameplay; specific to jumping and I'll go buy it right now to try it out.

Tell me where I said anything about how jump should be rendered realistically (hint: you're not going to find it because I never said it).

I quoted you because YOU arrogantly claimed that because a fireball isn't realistic it couldn't/shouldn't be rendered realistically. All I said was just because something isn't necessarily realistic doesn't mean it shouldn't be rendered realistically.

P.S. Running has been rendered realistically plenty of times over.

That is kind of the problem. It is nearly impposbru to do Jumping in a realistic manner. It doesn't matter if I can manifest fire from my hands or fight acid spewing tentacle hair balls, being able to jump my body height with no lead off and continue to do so as I trek across the game world over and over and over and over and over in Heavy plate armor is unrealistic. Just because your fantasy bends some of the rules and introduces some new ones that doesn't mean you can throw basic momentum and physical limitations out the windows because LOL FICTION!

You have to still make sense. Play by the rules. Otherwise you ruin the illusion, which is a big part of this particular MMO. Final Fantasies are first and foremost hailed for their stories and bringing the players into a world unlike their own.

"I DON'T WANT SQUARE ENIX TO PUT JUMP INTO THE GAME AND MAKE IT SO ALL RACES CAN JUMP THE SAME HEIGHT AND HIGHER THAN THEIR LEG MUSCLES CAN TAKE THEM.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go kill something with my Dragoon."

Pretty much sums up the complaints.

FFXIII-2 isn't realistic. You can gravity float. Spiraling down to the ground. lol. It is what it is.

just as unrealistic as my dragoon jumping 12 feet in the air, or cloud jumping with the help of friends slinging him several hundred feet in the air in advent children, "fantasy" is not supposed to be realistic it is supposed to bend/break the rules.

Though there is such a thing as 'realistic fantasy'. It's still fantasy but still has hints of realism, iirc is technically defined as 'Low Fantasy'.
