You know what feels really wrong jumping between Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft? Jumping. It doesn’t seem like that should be a thing, but it is. Your jump height is different and the general feeling of movement just feels better to me in the former game, but in neither game is jumping a vital ability used in the majority of high-end content or even all that often to begin with. Yet for some reason the differences in jumps always get to me.
This is, of course, not really a mark for or against either game, but instead a nod to the weird way that our muscle memory sticks out for certain titles even when it shouldn’t. There are other differences to focus on, yet the jumping one is what sticks in my mind. So what about you, dear readers? What strange things stick out to you when you swap MMOs? What are the minor differences in quality of life or control that you keep noticing, no matter how minor?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
