Request: When you start casting, make it stop character movement and autoface the mob

[Majidah]

That does not matter they way its implemented does not slow you down tho. You can spam the spell and let go of the run button it will go off when you stop its not like when you start casting the spell when you think it stops and it get interrupted @ 99%. The spell wont go off until you stop moving so it does not slow you down.

Well see, but to me a good battle system doesn't involve spamming and mashing the same spell hoping it'll go through. With XI you'd just look at your timers and know it'd go off in the right moment. It was hitting it once. It was clockwork.

I thought we were through with this after they added auto-attack.

You didn't get what i said look @ this way XI casting system gave tons more errors than this one. I can't count how many times in XI when i thought i stopped and started casting and the spell would cancel @ 99% but in XIV that will never happen cause the game wont let you cast while you are moving. So even when i thought i stopped and i start casting XIV system wont let me cast so ill just have wait that half of sec to let it register and i will cast, this system does not punish you like xi's did.

Oh, well if you think of it that way yeah, I agree it was one step in the right direction. But then again, I'm saying it could be even better if they kept face target automatic as it was before. It didn't take away from cancelling spells by movement; so other than for the sake of spells that haven't been even implemented yet I don't see much use.

Also, if you are triggering a spell you're hitting face target with the keyboard, right? Why not keep this automatic as its required to do so pretty much every time you cast after running?

I agree just to make you auto stop when casting but make the face target optional cause i hate the way it looks <.<

I don't mind how it looks, but I wouldn't mind facing manually as long as the stop is automatic! Sounds like a good middle ground.

yeah, i was stating face target alot, but i was talking about the functional aspects of it not the visual. the function is server instantly registers you as stoped so you do not have the delay before casting.
