Unlimited Sprint outside of Combat or Combat Zones.

[Daniolaut]

Making sprint unlimited would mean its the default movement speed, and then the player base would want a sprint action to go even faster. They are never satisfied.

If you want to move quicker, indefinitely... outside of combat...

switch to bard/machinist and use Peloton, or switch to monk and use fists of wind, or ...

best of all....switch to ninja.

This is Final Fantasy, youre not restricted to just 1 job on 1 character.

You, and no one else, absolutely does not need unlimited sprint.

while on the subject, i just want to remind people that even mounts require the player to stand still for a few seconds before mounting. this cast time does not benefit the flow of game, making the "just use mounts" counter-argument much less reasonable than ive already explained.

In Final Fantasy XI there is no cast time for using mounts, and enemies do not attack you while on a mount. (AKA, no such thing as "mount heavy". But then again there is a limit to how much you can be on a mount. Maybe that is the trade off.) But if you say anything about FFXI on these forums people immediately say "This isnt FFXI." Even though FFXI has an insane amount of very good things.
