So about jump.

[Naraku_Diabolos]

maybe because you stuck long enough in a game that not allowing jump?

The same reason why I played Zelda. Jumping isn't an issue to me unless it's to get around objects or ascend some like rocks and the like. I did hate it in the Live Letter IV when everyone was jumping around like fleas. It's like they couldn't stay still for one minute.

Am I the only one who has an issue with this stuff?

[Jacien]

In one point of the letter of the producer everyone hops on and starts jumping on top of a tent ...

I really hope they'll put an invisible wall of sorts on release.

I'm okay with jumping as long as they keep it realistic. To hop on top of a tent in one leap? For the tent to look like freaking plastic and hold there as if it was steady ground?

Hate it.

Do you hate Mario games because it's physically impossible for a short, fat plumber to jump 10 feet high?

Super Mario Bros. isn't trying to simulate a believable, living environment. Super Mario Bros. is a platforming game designed entirely around the idea of jumping on top of floating bricks. The jumping aspect is kinda core to what the game is about.

Got any other ridiculous comparisons?

I bolded where the silliness comes from. You're playing a Final Fantasy game. There are countless tropes that break the concepts of a "believable, living environment."

And overall, the most important thing: It's a video game.

Well, it kind of depends on what you're defining as believable. I'd say anything that is considered possible in the game world would be believable, not that which is believable in our world. If you're going by the definition of our world I'd say that's more realism.

An example would be, casting magics is believable because the game world treats it as something you can do. It is a generally accepted thing that can happen in the game world.

Invisible, unnamed forces restricting access to/holding up tents is somewhat unbelievable because there is really no explanation of it in the game. It's a thing that sometimes happens, sometimes doesn't.

Maybe someone cast a spell on the tent. MAGIC! David Blaine'd

The wonder of archaic FFXI community.

Didn't you guys get the memo? Jump is a profanity word these days.

Have to agree with OP though, this is what would happen with a bit more realism added.
