    Please fix how the camera works

    Right here Im gonna post two videos of how the camera works and how it should work:

    This is how the camera works normally when you aren't auto running...in other words...how it works when you are fighting trying to target mobs and stuff (mind you the video is taken while running around the cellars in Gridania and not when fighting the mobs in there...which is even worse):

    Now here is how the camera works with auto-run, it basically LOCKS behind you, tracking you perfectly to allow you to always see whats in front of you. In my opinion this is how the camera should always work:

    In short, I feel the way the camera works should be checked upon.

    I, for one, would much rather be allowed to look at the beautiful scenery in the game while running through it. Unfortunately, it isn't possible at the moment to move the camera around while continuing to run in the same direction. Or, at least, it can't be done without throwing one's character into a fit of convulsions trying to maintain direction of travel, and it's completely impossible to do while auto-running.

    I don't agree with you, for example i would like for the camera to NOT lock while in auto-run, i would like to be able to run trought the land on autorun and still be able to rotate to check out the place and mobs, this is the same for when running away from mobs i would like to be able to autorun while running away in a panic situation and be able to rotate the cam and see if the mob is getting closer or something.
    Also i hate the cam auto lock right in the back of ur char when u engage a mob, sometimes i would like to see the battle from the side or rotate at free will so i have to unlock the target every battle by pressing C

    Oh nono I dont want the camera to be HARD locked on behind me. I want to be able to still rotate it around but I want to not need to auto-run in order to know what the hell im running into.

    In short I want the camera to always follow me showing me whats in front of me UNLESS I decide to move the camera.
