I disagree with your premise. No such thing as "too obvious", too subtle might actually be taken seriously, and next thing you know, the board is plastered with arguments that only trolls leave the path because they're bad.
So to preserve the right for the title to bear the Final Fantasy name, I should continue to get stuck on pebbles, just like the one in that one doorway in Ro'Maeve?
The honest truth is that my main reason for consistently voting in favor of a free jump ability is because they will never. never. never. NEVER. iron out all those little pebbles and bumps that shouldn't stop you... but do.
