    You could say she moves as fast as Lightning.

    Magic.

    Alternatively, perhaps the worlds have different gravity than Earth.

    Yup! Magic works in magical ways. Also, a wizard did it.

    Cloud also jumps high and stays in the air for a long time even though he cannot fly or levitate. Tidus and his companions can slide on a rope of Airship Fahrenheit. Final Fantasy is just way better than our world.

    For Lightning, Square has announced her in 2009 to be the strongest Final Fantasy woman ever (obviously as fighter, not in terms of being a wizard woman since people like Ultimecia and Terra exist) so it is understandable.

    So if there was a Final Fantasy Olympic games, who would win the jumping comp? Cloud or lightning?

    Kain.

    Take Cloud with his hero power boost and he will win. Other than that they are pretty even in such things. And he did not need a Gravity Gear to land safely.

    In a series where monsters appear and disappear out of thin air, in a series full of powerful magic which does not incinerate (or freeze, electrocute, irradiate etc.) mere mortals, in a series where moogles and chocobos exist... I'm pretty sure jumping abnormally high is pretty low on the list of peculiarities.

    It is obviously the power of l'cie. Or, something. It's just video game logic.

    Wasn't this originally an idea meant to be implemented into the game, but they cut it out aside from one usage at the beginning of the game?
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    They use it again once or twice when the characters storm Eden. But yeah, it was supposed to be a more notable part of the game at one point.
