[dev1008] About Jumping

[Laughlyn]

Laughlyn - i disagree with all your points, because it seems unnatural for our characters to NOT be able to jump a little.

And why so defensive? You say jump will just make people annoy you - but not all people are bad - and if they wanted to annoy you they don't need jump lots of annoying things characters can do.

The truth is in 21st century Final Fantasy, a character should be able to jump, it seems to RUIN immersion for me that he cant jump. My character feels like a puppet welded to rails on the floor at the moment I need freedom to move (I promise i wont jump on the guildleve counter to annoy you !)

Could easily ask you the same thing about why so offensive about jump?
You know what...lol you should have jump, cuz i would stand there watch you (happily) jump of a cliff...
lol jump...gtfo

Actually both break immersion. No z-axis break it and irrealistic jump break it too.

Jump to go on something? No, normally if the place you want to get to is low enough you'll just step on it and if it's too high you'll climb, not jump. When going somewhere you would walk or run and in front of an unsurmountable obstacle you would go around it, not try a series of well placed jump to go over it.

The only time were jumping help immersion is to get jump off sometime or to use it to cross a gap.

I think i said it already in this thread but for a jump that help immersion it would need to be realistic meaning not jumping to high, not being able to fall from too high(at least not without dieing) and not being able to move around by jumping as fast as by running.

It should be noted that Immersion does not mean realism. There is a difference to being immersed IRL & immersed in a game or Fantasy MMO.

Bolded is opinion that i disagree with, but it should have it's limits obviously. If animated correctly the jump would be similar to RL jumping (but slightly higher), but to say it needs to be realistic, i do not agree.

Sry didn't meant it as the absolute truth ^^;

What I posted was of course my opinion and not facts. Other can disagree with me but it's what I think.

As for immersion does not mean realism, that's true. But in my case i find that realism help immersion(not taken to extreme of course)
