[dev1008] About Jumping

[Colino]

I could accept a jump similar to Zelda: Wind Waker

You mean like every Zelda that has jump in it?

Anyway, I may be in the minority on this but I don't think jump is necessary at all. Is it really hard to spend a few seconds walking AROUND the obstacle?

I certainly don't want to see a button commanded jump and I hope most of us can agree that it would be extremely annoying to have everyone in the cities jumping around like clowns

Just because you think it's pointless doesn't mean it is pointless. It's a harmless feature that would just make more sense to have in the game. Not being able to jump is just kind of ridiculous.

Jumping would be a good thing for this game, sure. So would loads of end-game content, or additional classes, or chocobos and airships or companies or... well lots of stuff.

To me, jumping is one of those low-priority ideas. It'd be nice, sure, but the time spent on it could be better spent elsewhere.

i don't want jump, i think is retarted in this game see a pg jump >_>

We do NOT want jump. It will degrade the character and atmosphere of the game.

Perhaps you didn't read the OP completely.

Jumping is retarded, they shouldn't let Galkas jump...EVER, unless we want the raptors to go extinct.

I gotta disagree with you man. I think jumping Galkas would be hilarious....for 5 minutes.

Make it like Monster Hunter. Let me climb up a small ledge when it's in my way.

Definitely don't want people doing flips and hopping around everywhere though.

This is exactly what they should do. Not necessarily a jump, more like an option to climb when close to a ledge or something like it.

Or a jump with a windup animation,no air control and a landing animation so you dont bunny hop all over the place.

(well i guess you could but it'd be animated nicely)

If it is put in, then a Jump similar to FFXIII that is only reactive to certain elements in the scenery/environment in my opinion is the way to go. Part of the main reason that I play FFXIV (and played FFXI) is for the battle tactics and team work, not to jump around as if I'm playing Super Mario. I can see why some people will argue for it and I understand their point, but for me personally (and this is just my opinion) I don't want to see a Jump button added to the game.

I agree with OP. Let's not have JUMPING, but let's have contextual movement. Games like Fable have it: you can't just jump all over the place, but if you walk near a ledge you can press a button to hop down or climb up, or press a button to hop a fence. But you can't do it all the time randomly, it's only in given situations.

Because freedom would just be too much for you to take, after having been spoonfed quests and NMs and isntances all your life.

I think contextual movement makes for a more flowing, graceful game. I'd take just plain jumping if it was the only option, though!

I myself do not want the jump thats in XIII, having to go just the right spot to use it or to be walking close to an edge and have youer char auto jump down when you dont want it to or have a window pop up asking if you want to jump here... me i rather be able to jump when i want to. I played both WoW and Aion, and i havent seen that many ppl jumping like rabbits/frogs
