So about jump.

Jumping on tents is as real as invisible walls, or not jumping off a cliff.

Invisible walls are by far more annoying, they are the antithesis of fun. There's far more fun jumping on tents.

Exactly. And honestly things you can jump on supporting you is a far more consistent. Keeping it the way it is, the game will consistently, 100% of the time allow things you can jump on to support your character. In changing it, the developers have to decide which things can or cannot support your character and there may be inconsistencies.

Also if anyone actually does want to play the "that can't support your weight" card, you're trying to base that on what works in our world (see: realism) which doesn't quite work. We don't know what Eorzean cloths are capable of doing or how their process of creation alters their properties. Not to mention as NinjaPanda mentioned, magic. It can strengthen our defenses so how far-fetched is it that it could strengthen the fabric, thus increasing it's weight tolerance? I mean even the mighty Ifrit's claws could not rend our fabric armors! But I digress as this point is becoming increasingly silly

Yes, that much was clear from the moment you decided to argue it.

First of all, believability and realism fall within the same category... they both share roots in credulity. They go hand-in-hand. If something is "believable", it's because it would be "realistic" for it to happen. If something is "unrealistic", people won't "believe" it. People don't really believe a magician is making an elephant disappear, because it's not very realistic for that to happen. See where I'm going with this? Point is, whatever semantic nonsense you're attempting to pull here... it's not working.

But again.. as I said before, "realism" and "believability" for that matter, are selectively supported around here. So I fully expect the spin, self-contradicting logic, and selective reasoning to continue.

Boy are some of you folks gonna be pissed the first time you try jumping off a moderately high cliff and find you can't because Yoshi-P has decided it wouldn't be possible (which he has stated) to jump beyond a certain height or from certain locations.

I can't wait to see the selective arguments for "realism" popping up over that. I'm going to remind them that it's not "believable" that people would jump from a height that would likely injure them in a realistic situation. And, of course, in that case, "realism" will - again - be shunned as people say "well, it's a fantasy game, it doesn't have to be realistic! Just don't have us take damage!"

Some people around here are so predictably selective in their reasoning, it's like reading a script.

Honestly? I won't make a thread on here about it lol. Unbelievable invisible forces abound, but if I had to pick one I'd pick the less restrictive of the two. That's pretty much all I'm getting at. Both situations are equally unbelievable.

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.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
Preypacer, give it a rest.

We are being realistic here. The vendor just bought a Tuff Shed.

But if Preypacer gives it a rest... who will fight the war on invincible tents? She's the Nael Van Darnus of tents.

I'm wondering more about wtf you were searching for when you found this. xD

A memory in my brain sparked after this thread was made. I remembered seeing the commercial and thought how fitting it was that the character in XIV bought a Tuff Shed.

Guess tuff sheds are all the rage in video games these days. xD
