if you cast an AOE spell let it go ffs

I wonder if they could make it so that when the target dies midway through a spell that spell suddenly becomes a ground targeted version so that it could still go off?

Not all AoEs target, so now I also wonder if there isn't at least a way to change it so the cast comes out centered on you.
Better than nothing?

Useless, as a BLM I don't stay close to the enemys. And it's not better than nothing, nothing at least isn't costing me mana.

I don't think there is a real solution to the problem. But by switching your target often to the one with the most HP left (Flare and Foul do more damage on the targeted enemy anyway) you can work around the problem to some degree. Of course when the other DPS decides to burst down your target you are out of luck.

If my casts cancel out then the reason is usually that all the remaining enemys only have a few HP left. And then my help isn't needed anymore to kill them off in the next few seconds, so it does not matter in the end.

player macros can instantly target a ground aoe on their selected target (friend or foe), i dont see why something similar couldnt be implemented (the spell goes off as if you were targetting their "corpse", as it were)--though if the "main" target is dead i guess it'd only do the 50% splash to everyone else, but it's certainly better than fizzling.
