[dev1008] About Jumping

[Xbob42]

I find it more than a little hilarious that people speak of "Jumping not being part of Final Fantasy games."

Have these people played any Final Fantasy games in the last few years? Watched any of the movies? The characters are basically superhero athletes that can run up the side of buildings. Not being able to jump is silly and archaic, and frankly a little disturbing. The only thing "jumping is not part of," is Final Fantasy XI. And good riddance. This isn't that game, doesn't need to be. Adding a Z-Axis can make content fun and refreshing. Whereas being completely landlocked like a tank feels stiff and cumbersome.

There is no counterargument that isn't completely superfluous. I don't know what game you people played that involved people jumping around to such extremes as to ruin your raging RP hard-on, but I've never seen it. Seriously. I mean good lord, this shouldn't even be a thread.

Please read through at least a quarter of the forum before posting. You'll find that many people don't wish to just simply not implement the jump feature, but also find other ways in which to promote a Z-Axis point of exploration. Another thread over this topic is "Swimming and underwater content."
