I have been wondering about this.
Now when I move it stops my spell form going off does this mean I wont get animation locked anymore and get owned by Ifrit's burning love pools?

Correct. Should be useful.
NO MORE DEATHY!!! All we have to worry about now is the lag :D hehe.
God, that makes me so happy if true. ME AM HATE ANIMATION LOCK! lol...
Has Yoshida posted on why exactly we need to cancel spells while moving. I don't buy animation lock as a reason, they can just have a casting while moving animation. I love being able to move around while casting.
I thought one of the public reasons was to have a better way of canceling a spell being cast.
Although I think some would have settled for pressing escape.
A slightly hidden, but not really reason, is that the mechanic for 2.0 could be setup this way and it eases people into that playstyle of "moving = spell interruption".
The main reason was to balance out PVP content.
He actually released a gigantic post about it a few months ago. He's really thought it through and it's coming for a variety of reasons.
