Not one FF title has ever had a jump feature, unless you count Dragoon's "Jump" ability.
Why ruin that trend now?
It is unneeded and unnecessary.

"Why ruin that trend?" Did you seriously just ask this? It never ceases to amaze me how rooted in tradition some of you are, only for the sake of upholding those traditions. Just because something's a trend doesn't mean it can't be altered for the better. SE really needs to put a stop to their antiquated ideals before it's too late.
Jumping in MMOs is just a stupid gimmick. And I'm not rooted in tradition. I've played WoW to 80, and several other MMOs that all had jump. In the end, I stand on my opinion that jumping is just a stupid gimmick. I saw no value added with jump and thought all those scenarios mentioned previously where jump was used were again, just annoying gimmicks that removed from the fluidity of the game."Why ruin that trend?"

Your opinion is wrong, sorry.Jumping in MMOs is just a stupid gimmick. And I'm not rooted in tradition. I've played WoW to 80, and several other MMOs that all had jump.

There isn't anything inherently wrong with contextual jumping, it's just that it would probably take longer to program and implement at this point is all.
And "bunny hopping loonies" are actually not a problem. The REAL loonies are the people who let something so small annoy them so much. Personally, I never get annoyed in the least when I see another player jumping around in other MMOs. It's not something that bothers me, and I think it's silly to complain about it.

There are plenty of MMOs where jumping isn't just a gimmick. Plenty of people posted the ways WoW uses the manual jumping to make combat and dungeons more complex. Even if the jump feature is a gimmick in an MMO, who cares? Also, who's saying that we want it now? Jumping adds freedom to the game, which is something a lot of people enjoy about MMOs. I could care less when they implement it, as long as it gets implemented at some pointJumping in MMOs is just a stupid gimmick. And I'm not rooted in tradition.

If no one wants jump then why not at least eliminate the invisible walls so we can at least drop down, what's the purpose of invisible wall unless the drop is ungodly.
I'm fine with jumping if there's a reason to implement it. Right now there's not. There are too many other things that need doing right now that actually are necessitated by gameplay. Jumping should remain far down the list until either the rest of the important stuff is done, or until they actually implement a reason to necessitate it.
Zelda doesn't have jumping :P
I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
Amazing that the most popular thread is about the least important feature.
