Animation Lock: Why don't you like it?

[Klefth]

I did. I don't recall ever saying all animation lock should be removed from all games.

Please quote where I did. This should be amusing. lol

...Have I even been talking about "all games"? You seem to be the one trying to exaggerate what I've said. I did use the usage of it in other games as an example, but I was only referring to my opinion of it's removal in this one game. Now you're just trying hard to make me look bad.

Also the other thing people had an complaint about was being locked during during the start of an casting. Like you start casting thunder and could not move until the spell was almost half done casting.

I don't recall this happening to me on my BLM. O_o I could move around as soon as I hit a spell if I wanted. The thing is, it locked me from casting something else right away since the swirling light animation thingy would still go on for a couple of seconds (and that was due to the huge latency on movement), but it didn't lock me from moving. The animation lock happened towards the end, when the casting animation went off (and the pointless one or two seconds you did mention afterwards).
