Direction while crafting

[larrymc]

I always stand in a particular direction while crafting depending on the crystal. I can find no hard evidence that this helps significantly - but I figure that it cant hurt.

I find this statement about the new Geomancer job seems to favor the idea that SE could have put a directional component into the crafting system. At least the idea has been in their mindset.

Its under the section : New Job: Geomancer!

"Their job trait Polarity (temporary name) allows geomancers to receive different bonuses to their elemental magic spells depending on the direction they face when casting"
