Quote:This has been my arguement the whole time. As I have said, repeatedly, I am not speaking from a game mechanic point of view or giving it a definative "purpose" in the game. I am speaking in regards to aesthetic, from an RP stand point, from an immersion stand point, from a realism stand point.(yes, I'm using the realism argument again, I think I've provided more than enough valid points for this argument). From these stand points, we can jump IRL, our characters should be able to jump in-game. -Unless-, they provide some sort of official Lore as to why we cannot.
That's fine and all, but realism in a fantasy MMO setting doesn't work sometimes. Games, movies and books require us to put aside what we know is fact about the real world and suspend our belief.
Perhaps the gravity is 20x greater in Eorzea, perhaps the armor is heavier then real armor, perhaps the fictional races are not built for jumping, perhaps our characters all have lame knees or tore a ligament in track&field. :study:
There are thousands of reasons you could even make up for why your character can not jump RPwise, and you don't need to be able to jump to RP effectively.
