(First half put in another thread, should've added to this one lol ^^

I say F jumping, unless done in a ff:xiii style, or zelda. now, listen here...intead of adding jumping. what if they added a small climb feature? you ever see anybody jump in plate armor? even theoretically? not possible. You could however add a small climb feature, using a zelda type collision detection. I see a 2 inch drop? hop down. I see a 2 foot fence? I climb over. I don't have to ninja jump over those small obstacles.

Now, everyone against jumping (or climbing, whatever) they way the reason they don't want it is immersion in the RPG realm. Stay with me, I'm playing my own devil's advocate. Now, when you unlocked your mount in WoW, how often did you jump? I know I never did, I put myself on an auto path and that was it. You followed roads around and that was that. Now, lets say they do implement jumping, but they don't implement jumping on a chocobo. Whether it be the speed of the mount, or just the overall work of having to implement a jump on a mount. Would it really be that bad? No, it wouldn't. You could jump on your own character, but not a mount. I think a huge problem the dev team might be having with jumping is doing it on a chocobo...you'd have to add in momentum, weight, distance. Alot of factors in there, I doubt not wanting you to jump is the one they're weighing on. So, how about it? A compromise that you can jump when you're by yourself, just running along, but not when you're on a chocobo?
