Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time...

[Jinrya-Geki]

So if an enemy knocks you back you still want the cast to go off? That doesnt make sense, werent you the one complaining that it was stupid that we couldent "walk and talk" assuming spells are chants and not concentrated energy. You still think you can chant or concentrate that energy after being knocked off your feet? I never really had a problem with it in ffxi or any other MMO that had this mechanic (every mmo i've played)

It makes more sense to me that I get interrupted when I am hit, and stop casting. Moving while casting is different.

Also a major factor with attacks canceling a spell, the power of the attack should exceed a limit. Why should an attack that does 1 damage, but blows me 10 feet backwards stop me, I am still standing up on my two feet, the damage inflicted should not have been able to make me go "OW F*beep*"!

Bring this back up, in hopes of getting a better response to why movement canceling is being added, when it's not needed.

If and when they put this in, I wanna see red mage jobstone with free cast.

Only positive thing I can see from a stand-still caster is that you get your MP from standing still.

Oh god, this thread again.

i think Yoshi made a post on it but it has not been translated yet.

This is not really something to be exclusive to XIV, I never move while casting simply because every single game i've played before, single-player or multi-player would punish me for moving while casting, either by lowering the effect of the spell, increasing the cast time, or flat out canceling it, won't really affect me because i'll just be doing things the same way i have up to now.

Cancelling spell casting when moving will be pretty useful on fights like Ifrit where you need to move out things on the ground, if they implement it correctly... Looking back, I remember the skill for CON that was listed on the official site, which allowed CON to cast spells while moving for a set amount of time, so I imagine this was the plan all along. No complaints here!

I distinctly remember a time where moving a certain distance from your spot would result in canceling the cast a long time ago, i think it just got swept under the rug with the combat reforms going on.
