[dev1008] About Jumping

[gifthorse]

I agree with OP. Let's not have JUMPING, but let's have contextual movement. Games like Fable have it: you can't just jump all over the place, but if you walk near a ledge you can press a button to hop down or climb up, or press a button to hop a fence. But you can't do it all the time randomly, it's only in given situations.

Because freedom would just be too much for you to take, after having been spoonfed quests and NMs and isntances all your life.

I think contextual movement makes for a more flowing, graceful game. I'd take just plain jumping if it was the only option, though!

Can't agree with your method of insults, but I do feel like most of the xiv community atm are very biased towards their style of gameplay.

Without degrading others opinions of this game, including my own, I do think the devs should listen to peoples advice and opinions who are not currently playing the game, as much, if not more, than those of us who are.

We need more people playing.

I would rather have jumping in XIV, of some sort. Having to get around all the time seems silly to me.

I would really like a jump feature but with a cooldown or something to avoid the spam of it.
When i walk around Eorzea everything seems so realistic, the graphic ,the character animations but...... i can't jump a little rock or drop a little cliff >.< that honestly ruins my immersion and it's really annoyng .
I can see jump used as part of strategy doing encounters in future instances too.

Yeah, the enormous character names and aggro icons, it's like looking at a photograph! Jumping would totally ruin that!

Sorry for the sarcasm, I actually totally agree that it needs to be implemented with a cooldown.

Or just implement it to only be in certain spots, like climbing over a ledge, but a CD is just silly.

Can you jump over and over without having to rest? Please demonstrate how a cooldown is not logical.

Jumping on command? No thanks. Had enough of that in WoW.

I think a contextual based approach, similar to XIII would be the best approach. It seems to be the most popular option too, so perhaps there is merit in that.

I sincerely hope that the bunny hoppers don't get their way though.
