    Free-jumping would kill the atmosphere of the game and take the "Final Fantasy" out of FFXIV.
    I would hate to see everyone hopping around like frogs everywhere like some other games..

    Immature frogs jumping everywhere aside, would that bother you THAT much to have free jumping?

    I, personally, would be very pleased to experience a free jumping feature in Final Fantasy XIV. I don't feel like it would kill the Final Fantasy atmosphere, Final Fantasy is not Final Fantasy because you can't jump. Jumping has been seen in many previous Final Fantasy, in Final Fantasy VII's movie, and I believe would be a great new addition to Final Fantasy XIV. Of course, there was no free jumping before, but Final Fantasy is also about adding new things with each new titles. I feel it is time free jumping comes into Final Fantasy. And, on a final note, the traditional "non-jumping" design of old Final Fantasy was partly due to technology limitations (that's why then, even in Final Fantasy 1, jumping is in cut-scenes).

    EDIT: Don't be mistaken, I, too, dislike immature jumping frogs. However, I much prefer dealing with these frogs than having shackles at my feet preventing more freedom in the game. Plus, I doubt we'll see many immature frogs in FFXIV, it is not open world PVP like WoW (people keep jumping mainly to evade other player's attacks).

    LOL cash shop! SE's way to tell their player how they appreciate them... pull the carrot and empty your pockets $$$
    And to those who support it: you are kicking yourselves. -- We just need to sit back and laugh at people with cash shop items.
