VENTING

[Kallivis]

I don't understand the complaints about jumping.

At first I was in the group of people who didn't believe jumping should be added because it's not something that has been common throughout the FF series. Since this is an MMO, my opinion soon changed.

Jumping breaks your immersion? Standing on fences breaks your immersion? Would you prefer the option where everybody on the entire planet* is glued to the ground and any space between the ground and the person would result in some sort of cosmic problem?

*dragoons are the exception

You do realize there's more to jumping than aesthetics, right? Guess not. You can jump up ledges/hills/platforms and avoid many different obstacles, and cut down travel time, like virtually every other MMO.

Oh but sure let's not add jumping for the players who would actually like to jump (most of them) because the competition happens to do it and Final Fantasy XIV isn't the competition, right? Yeah let's just give people another reason to go to other games because we don't have another standard feature in these sorts of games.

Sure jumping on tents and jumping up and down a hundred times in a row looks silly. So does running around in circles, casting flare repeatedly in the middle of a city, or going on rants about not including a basic mechanical and aesthetic feature.

Let's put a limit on how much you can run around in circles, cast flares in the middle of the city, and rant about stupid crap.

(PS: Not directed to OP, should be obvious but just in case)
