[dev1008] About Jumping

[Rayle]

Hey, you guys know what is great? Eorzea is a HUGE and expansive world to explore. Isn't that awesome? You know what's even better? I cant jump so instead of wondering whats over that hill or whats under this ledge I have to just walk on some path and never leave the ground. Isn't that just the best?

Yeah, I hope we never get jump. I don't to want to be immersed in a large open world. Let me walk in a tunnel for my playing career.

I can't believe anyone even thought to create a thread asking about jump. Obviously it would serve no purpose in exploring. And who cares if I can't get over shin-high bumps in the ground. I should have never left the path in the first place! What was I thinking, going ahead and exploring. Im so foolish sometimes.

Jeez guys, this thread should be closed. Its a no-brainer.

How is jumping unrealistic? Lalafell runs just as fast as others to me thats unrrealistic, and others say they should fix the areas so pople wont have to jump and i think that would take more time to fix then to add a jump, make jump a context... no thanks, put it in as an autojump no thanks, how long do you think it would take them to put autojumps in? what happens when you come across a spot and theres no autojump there then you have to look for one? when its just better to be able to jump at will?

Lalafells also move their feet 5 times faster than the others, jumping may be realistic, but the people who bunny hop constantly (Which is a good chunk of the player base) is not realistic at all.

Probably because even though tarus were short and overweight they had the most AGI.

What game might that be that people bunny hop constantly? WoW? nope i still play it and havnt seen that many jump that much(seen more people spam AoEs spells more then any thing), Aion has jump and again i havnt seen that many people jump in that ether.

Not sure where your stand is on this Yoshi-P but, if having jump in this game can save us the trouble of having to hop 3 zones just to get up a hill(ex: Lumberjack / Roc) then I'm all for it. Majority of the population that stayed, judging by your poll results are ex-XI players so if they could play 7yrs without jump I doubt they would be the first ones to say they 'need' it. But I'm sure deep down maybe going to an NM or accidentally falling off merit camp, people thought damn I wish I could just jump back up.

Also, doubt you want this brought up but this fact probably played a part in the oh so infamous POS(3rd party prog) that a large community of XI players used/were banned for.

I agree. And at the same time I have never heard of anyone quitting because people can jump.

A jump feature would be great... TO all those who think not, I don't understand. Aion, and WoW both have it. There's not a ton of people jumping around, it will make a better gaming experience.

Well said, Wind. Well said.

I know one place in 11 i wished i could jump down and explor, that would be the ruin city in blueblade fell(the one from the opening of the game), ether way if they add or dont add jump to 14 ill still explor it, who knows there could be some areas that youll never know thats there if you cant jump up that little hill.
and i have played FFVI since 2004
