Anyone ever play Final Fantasy Mystic Quest for SNES?

I know It was a terrible game, but I remember how you could jump and climb and use a grapple hook thing on the map. This got me thinking, "how did they do that without gravity?" or at least not the built in "gravity" variable used in Game Maker, where an object just moves down, but more like a top-down platformer.

Probably sprite scaling, and a "z height" variable.

They probably coded their own gravity.

Yay! The people at my rant were here!

Anyways, I have no idea what you are talking about. Probably me though, don't worry about it.

No, we weren't talking about you. But thanks for telling me about the TD jumping example.

Nah, I was ranting about how people never help, and they actually payed attention. That's good. :)
