Realm Reborn = downgrade?

YES! I mean.. you didnt need jump at XI and you didn't need jump earlier at XIV so... you don't need it at future.. o.o

Oh there are plenty of times in both XI and XIV where I wished I had jump. Just because we don't need it doesn't make it any less useful. That's like saying we don't need to run, we could always walk. I will never understand you guys how you can be against jump. Think of the Atomos event, let's say you are stuck next to the fence, you can't run to the exit because his spawns are there. Now if you could jump you would have just jumped over the fence and be on your way rather than just stand there like a statue until Atomos despawns. So tired of this "we don't need jump! bunny jumping is annoying! We were doing fine without it!" crap.

I know the video they showed is from an alpha build, all I am saying is that the "oh it's just alpha/beta" mentality is what is partially to blame for the failed launch of 1.0

Better warn them before it's too late.

I agree with that, them giving into the crowd will hold some merit before the actual test itself. Alpha is just around the corner, so hold on to your seatbeat it may get bumpy hehe.

Is this really going on right now? I've been playing this game enough to know that these "Animation" gave a lack of control over your character, it was a huuuuuuuuuuge issue and it was talked about multiple times, this is why these animations were removed.
If they can bring back those animations without loosing character control than that's fine, if not, deal with it.

The FF community is so inconsistent, first they ask for things like these to be removed and now they want them back...

It really, really doesn't give a "lack of control", everyone knows the root issue is the game's engine, which SE has told us time and time again it was the engine and servers causing problems.

You're right though, the community is inconsistent, this is the only game community that will blame a animation for things that isn't even the problem, though I guess you'll tell me it's the game's animations that prevents you from moving while browsing a Bazaar, right?

The current animations were not the cause of the unresponsiveness. Server lag was.

When you pressed W or forward in the controller, your character moves forward. The animation is 0.5 second and the character is probably already moving forward at its final speed. The animation is there only to create the illusion of gaining momentum.

This is evident in other games too, that have no server lag, such as GW2, that even emphasizes dodging enemy attacks in real time. Their inertia and momentum gaining is not an issue.

This thing is being explained multiple times in this thread, so please, before you make yet another post with the same argument, read the thread.

In short, the people complaining about the animations back then, were completely wrong.

Oh please you don't know what you're talking about clearly. Animations were the reason I was constantly disconnecting and took 30 minutes to buy or sell from an NPC at launch.

I mean nevermind the fact they significantly sped up the process over time without changing the animations one bit. So clearly the animations were the root of all evil with XIV's poor launch. They spent so much time on animations that they had no time for content, clearly wasn't the main complaint.

Reaction sequence :

-Oh, a reply quoting me let's see...

-Ah, they're about to address animation and server lag, lets see...

you don't know what you're talking about clearly.

-But... i do, bracing for epic fail

Animations were the reason I was constantly disconnecting

-/faceplam there's the epic fail

and took 30 minutes to buy or sell from an NPC at launch.

You have to write bigger, people tend to skip over things. Also, lol@above

People like you makes going through all these uneducated posts worthwhile.

Thank you for being in the position to clearly understand what i'm saying i guess.
