Jump No Longer Necessary after Patch 1.17

[Cairdeas]

After the patch went live last night and they announced that collision detection was adjusted I did some testing. I did this testing on both Miqo'te, Elezen, and Lalafell.

All characters of various heights now no longer have issues passing over or through terrain where there are slight deviations. IE A Root from a tree wont stop a player from running, instead they will automatically walk over it.


Most minor cliffs (Between knee high and shoulder high on Lalafell and Knee to lower thigh high on Elezen) can now be scaled or dropped from with ease. Only cliffs that would encompass the entire height of an Elezen are unsaleable in most situations. These would not be viable for jumping to clear anyway.

In effect most situations that would normally have been cleared by jumping now no longer act as obstacles to the player.

Yes there might be a few areas to tweak this still, But I did these tests in all three Town Zones without any difficulty in scaling "Jump-able Heights"

So in my opinion this is no longer a valid argument towards Jumping.

very funny, I can fall down from a cliff without any falling animation. It's became more unrealistic

I want jump, I want it like the jump the night elves have in wow so I can stand in town next to people who hate the idea of jump and just jump over and over and over and over doing my little flips every so often.

I think SE found a solution that works. This solution keeps the realism where people don't jump everywhere, but I bet people will complain none the less.

I still want jumping. Future areas can be designed more freely around jumping being possible.

I knew that some jump haters would go "HA! there's no more reason for jump anymore!" after that announcement. But I still want jumping, and falling. I don't like how we're protected by invisible walls everywhere. I think the environment should be hazardous.

Yep, the main reason people wanted jump was due to situations like that. There's almost no need for it now.

You must be the most sad person on these forums. There is just no way to please you, seriously. I never saw one constructive post from you, not even a post where you say you like a certain aspect of the game or a certain change. It is sad, really sad.

I agree with Cairdeas, jump is not needed anymore. There is no reason at all to add a jump function. It simply does not fit within the Final Fantasy universe.

All the more reason NOT to implement it.

He's clearly being sarcastic/trolling.

Jump should not be NOT implemented just because one moron on a forum wants to act stupid.

if someone is acting stupid, then you just ignore them or blacklist them.

All that is needed for jumping to work without people being moronic is to have a stamina cost on jumping like any other action. Then it can't be continously spammed and is still there for when people actually have a use for it. And there is far more use for jumping than the tiny pebbles which don't block you anymore.

This is true but i would like to have an animation when you go down from a cliff at least. And i think they could add a 'controlled' jump ala Zelda for some situations.
