Great Job Devteams!

After some searching Yoshi-P addresses the jumping concern, and he says it exactly how I think of it.... I want it to reduce the feeling of being tied to the ground.... When playing FFXIV I feel like my feet are stitched into the ground....

Hi everyone, this is Producer/Director Yoshida!

Thanks so much for the lively discussion in regards to jumping.
Since the points that we are currently reviewing in regards to jumping have caused a lot of confusion for the community, I’ll go ahead organize them there.

Jump review:

* One form of emotional expression
* Additional action-related expression during movement
* Able to get over small fences (This is not the main idea)

I believe that jumping as a form of expression, which allows the player to indicate the location of NPCs and also to inform others of meeting locations, will be able to be used in many subtle ways.
However comments such as "Aesthetically, the game will be ruined by everyone jumping around," and "It’s not FINAL FANTASY," and other comments were a bit unexpected, so I decided to add these types of comments into our discussion as well.

Though the idea of jumping was based on wanting to reduce the feeling of being tied to the ground, I will continue to evaluate whether or not this should be implemented by following along with your discussions and comments!

Map Collision Detection Adjustments:

* Being unable to descend ledges where it seems you can easily fall off
* Feeling of strangeness when you can't climb up a hill that looks to be easily climbable

We have received a lot of feedback pointing these things out from numerous players, but the task of relieving stress during character movement is currently being tested by development in the form of map collision detection adjustments.
If you can think about this separately from the jump implementation discussion it would really help a lot.

I think the whole team is doing a great job : )
I look foward to every post and patch that comes out, PLease keep up the good work!
I'm sorry there are so many ppl that will never be happy however much you give them : ( i wish they could see beyond their ownselfish wants and look at the bigger pitcure of how you are building this game around what we are all asking for.
Thank you!

I've enjoyed the patch very much so far, the quests make for good reading (the writing is consistently top notch - I'm actually interested, even if I'm then told to beat up some random animal haha) and things are improving bit by bit. I haven't yet partaken in any Behests or NM killing but I've been on all day (around six or seven hours) without making any Skill Points yet have been enjoying myself.

One of the things I'm particulary happy to see is...you no longer float above the ground slightly when you stop running! That must have been one of the collision improvements, and has fixed one of those cosmetic annoyances that drove me somewhat crazy.

I'm looking forward to the future of the game indeed, particularly the changes to Combat and such soonish, as well as looking forward to the continuing story of Eorzea.

I'm starting to see some light at the end of a very, very long tunnle. It's far from perfect but I think the game is heading in the right direction now. Even though the tasks I've been given are forgetable (and waaay too easy), I really appreciate the sudden gloomy atmosphere. Can't wait for companies to come.

Good job, dev team!

Now please, let me toggle off my own name and I'm one happy lalafell (along with new hair styles)!

It's really nice to hear that some people are excited while changes are being made. When a lot of people still feel the urge to rant about everything while this game is in the middle of major changes.

Wait, I need ten characters to post? Pfft. Clicking "Like!" should bump threads. (Okay, probably not really.)

The dev team did a great job on this patch, credit should be given where due. This thread really does need to be placed at the top so the team doesn't think we're all ungrateful whining children.
