Movement cancels mount summoning

For quite a while you could cast while moving. Even the longer spells like stoneskin. Thaumatages could kite and cast. Fun times to be had.

That would be great and really fun to do!...

I do it all the time but it's not as good as it would be if we could cast while moving, all I do is summon a mount and when the cast time is over I start running which has a similar look and effect but must be just server lag!...

1.0 seemed to have instant casts as said above but I don't see the animation mentioned, click here to see!...

Oh yeah, spellcasting and movement... Would have been great, too. That one I see the reasoning behind, though. But I don't see why the summoning of a mount can't be done while moving. :/

Animation-lock stopped you from moving. It nailed your feet on the ground until the animation ended.

False - you'd start running, and while still running you could call your chocobo without hampering your movement, and transitioning to mounted movement.

I would like this too. Even if it is tied to spell casting there are instant cast spells that can be cast while moving so I don't see why that should hinder mounting while moving.

You can't move while calling, but you can at least start moving after the 'casting' bar has finished but before the chocobo actually appears.

But yes, it would be better to be able to instant-cast it so you don't have to stop and wait.
