This is why we need jumping/falling system in FFXIV

[Elexia]

Are you even conscious at all?

I don't even feel like I need to dignify your argument with a "WTF you can't be that stupid?"

Just because most games usually build upon the base of their predeccessors does not mean that they recycle every single feature and never introduce new ones. Considering also that there are examples of SE titles with free jump, I still fail to see the relevance of SE titles without it.

The only way you can consider my argument as "stupid" is by admitting that no developer uses elements from games in the same series for later titles. Why would it be a part of a series if it's not going to use at least some elements? Metal Gear Solid 2 is proof of why a sudden change isn't always a good thing. We play as Snake for 30 minutes, then suddenly some nobody named Raiden? Following his story instead of Snake's?

It wasn't a bad game, but guess what Metal Gear Solid 2 retained? Pretty much all elements of Metal Gear Solid 1 WHILE introducing new concepts. Final Fantasy XIV kind of threw out previous elements for something that just..quite frankly doesn't work.

So yes, I am indeed conscious because I can see how faulty the game is compared to XI, let alone FMO when it was in service.

Um hello, your argument is stupid because you completely shirked the original discussion (which was why Dissidia and other SE titles alone are relevant to FFXIV's progress) with some statement of intent that is only mildly related. Of course games are influenced by their ancestors, but why you think that should be their only influence is beyond me.

The same reason Warcraft was relevant to World of Warcraft.

Exactly.

WoW has like 1% of features from Warcraft.

Point taken.

At this point, I am beginning to wonder if you actually have played WoW. If you have, then I wonder if you knew what game you were really playing.
