[dev1008] About Jumping

[Rowyne]

I hate seeing what had turned into an intelligent debate sink to a namecalling match.

Darn these posts always coming in while I'm writing one.....

No, Rawry. I'm 32, married to a wonderful woman named Tori in 2004, and also have 3 kids. Ben, Jake, and Emily. Yourself?

I find it more than a little hilarious that people speak of "Jumping not being part of Final Fantasy games."

Have these people played any Final Fantasy games in the last few years? Watched any of the movies? The characters are basically superhero athletes that can run up the side of buildings. Not being able to jump is silly and archaic, and frankly a little disturbing. The only thing "jumping is not part of," is Final Fantasy XI. And good riddance. This isn't that game, doesn't need to be. Adding a Z-Axis can make content fun and refreshing. Whereas being completely landlocked like a tank feels stiff and cumbersome.

There is no counterargument that isn't completely superfluous. I don't know what game you people played that involved people jumping around to such extremes as to ruin your raging RP hard-on, but I've never seen it. Seriously. I mean good lord, this shouldn't even be a thread.

Please read through at least a quarter of the forum before posting. You'll find that many people don't wish to just simply not implement the jump feature, but also find other ways in which to promote a Z-Axis point of exploration. Another thread over this topic is "Swimming and underwater content."

ah gee thread deletion here we come

[Dromox]

It kinda ruins my immersion NOT being able to jump.

i have been reading this thread on and off for the past couple of hours and i have seen kimarhi come up with examples to explain his views and other people have explained their views and i must say that you are hindering this discussion because i have yet to see a good example from you. i think it shouldnt be put in game since all everyone is doing is complaining about it and not accepting both sides of a discussion. this has become a fight over nothing and only one i now see still trying to start up stuff is this rawry guy and i think he should be banned from this discussion if he still keeps this up.

I know how it is as a moderator haha -- Sadly this is one of the most heated debates when it comes to XI/XIV.
