[dev1008] About Jumping

[gifthorse]

Haha, it would be amusing to see how many original Final Fantasy developers are for implementing jump and how many are against it.

I think the only reason the original Final Fantasy games didn't have jump is because of time and technological restraints. If you want to have a vibrant, living, breathing world, you should strive to include every kind of locomotion, and that includes jumping.

I support Jumping, I never figured out why a Dragoon could jump in combat in XI, but NO WHERE ELSE...

On related note, I always wondered how Dragoons jumped in doors...

I'm just surprised that the thing the producer responds to is the jump-feature instead of a lot of other, in my opinion more pressing matters. But I guess it's just all about the numbers, the more replies a thread has, the more important it must be.

I am actually shocked, people against jumping... you do realize your petty thoughts have now changed the ideas of the developers, because in your little bubble you didn't want jumping in this game. For every reason against it, I simply can't understand why they even bothered to type their grudges against it.
As I have said before, just add friction so that when the player hits the ground it adds maybe a second or 2 delay before they can jump again therefore no spamming of jumping( which just never happens anyway) no abuse of it or lagging of your game ( which doesn't happen anyway) and guess what you dont have to jump anyway, and guess what the people who wanted to jump can!!!! Oh my god problem solved, now we can closed the thread and implement this amazing idea !

Edit: Might as well go all out, you realize that this game is not doing so well because it tried something very different( which i salute to and respect) but certain things must be implemented so that the average gamer will feel at home or can adjust to FFXIV. So for all the dedicated FF fans myself including should shut up and let some changes be made that are not to our taste and lets try get this game rolling.

Ok, look this is getting out of control. I don't want jumping in the game because it causes emotional stress. I don't want to pay to be harassed by people jumping across my screen all day. It's just not fair and I won't allow myself or my family or any other family for that matter to bare witness to the stress this would cause. I swear, if we get jump and I find out where any of you live im going to come to your house myself and jump on your furniture just to see if you like it!

I bet you won't like it. So you better just stop this before somebody gets CRAZY

Well this issue should have been taken care of long ago when people were requesting its implementation way before alpha. It's about time FF caught up.

In any case, the developers have also responded to terrain complaints too.

A little too obvious, but nice effort.

I think we should have a poll to decide whether we should have a poll.

As for jumping, all I want is for it to be introduced in a way that makes sense. For those of you who might not know about Final Fantasy, the only job class that has traditionally been able to use jumping in combat has always been the dragoon, so keep that in mind. This IS a Final Fantasy game after all, not just your random MMO. It has to be true to that fact first and foremost.

Yeah let's hold up tradition for traditions sake alone even if it's irrational! First and foremost!
