After more than a decade of operation, Final Fantasy XI has finally added jumping. Sort of. You still can’t use it to reach high platforms or actually move through the game, but you can use the /jump command to spring up while running, sitting, standing, walking, and so on. It’s the sort of minor quality-of-life improvement that marks the game’s December version update, something nice for the players still enjoying the game after the final story update.
Of course, there’s meatier content than just the ability to jump around. Players can undertake new Aeonic Weapon quests to unleash the ultimate skillchain abilities, which should come in handy in the expanded Geas Fete content. New items have also been added, existing items have been improved, and more items can be placed on the auction block. There’s life in the game yet, so fans should log in and check out the patch.
