    there was a game I played where mages could kite their second strongest single target spell and it was great~ Even with the spell being strong and improving solo survivability it wasn't OP and it feels better than standing still with cast times.
    But this is FF14 and not the game I played and though I'd love it, yes, I'd rather play the game envisioned by FF14's developers. It's just a personal preference/opinion of mine *-*
    Variety is the spice of life~

    Edit: Since I still have 10mins before I go to work I'll post an expansion on my opinion~
    One of the reasons I don't see this ever happening is because i wouldn't see this as particularly fair. If you could just run endlessly during a boss fight you'd never have to worry about AoE's hitting you lol. It would give BLMs sort of an easy ride through harder encounters. EVen Bards, if memory serves me correctly (don't jump on me over this my archer is 15 >.>) have to stand still to use a proper rotation for damage.

    The unique perspective of Touhou in my own words and why it is different from the typical game or manga c:

    1. No, the clothes I'm talking about look shitty on everyone, not just an option. it's like wearing garbage as clothing. You know what I'm talking about if you've ever played a mage.

    2. I know a vast amount of movement should break your spell cast, however, on ps4 you could accidentally nudge it to the point where the stick doesnt move and your character literally doesn't move an inch in game, but still cancels the spell. No, something like that is just silly.

    c. now you're just being stupid as obviously this applies to all situations in which im fighting monsters and not just in a dungeon where i have a crappy tank.

    E. That answer is BS though and you know it.

    3. How is that not an issue? Just...make it not suck? O.o

    4. you're not understanding the T5 part.

    5. It's not a big issue and theres no reason to defend it. Just let us talk on mounts. It's not hard.

    6. Well there is plenty of content in the game already, but all end game content is more than obviously just them begging gamers to keep subbing. I want to sub, just GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO.

    7. It's a MASSIVE annoyance. I'm higher level and so well geared they'd never be able to do anything. Every time I want to go out and quest or anything like that I get slowed down and whenever I want to look at the map even more annoyances occur. Once again, this isn't a huge thing that if they fix it'll change the whole game and it's not like changing something like this will hinder other patches and cause them to work for months on end slaving over a computer screen. Just make it more user friendly and not insanely annoying.

    8. Well for example, mounts. Before the recent 2.5 patch when I used the mount hotkey the bar wouldn't even be done casting and I could take off running and it would still blow the whistle and i'd be running on my mount. Now, I have to wait for the whole bar to be completed and wait for the whistle sound to end. With spells, It used to be pretty easy to continuously move but for some reason after 2.5 the spell has to be pretty much flying at the enemy before you can move. Not a huge game breaker but its a little annoyance.

    Just figured out if I go into first person mode and move my camera it'll move my whole character in place.

I'm not asking for mages to attack on the run (which would be cool, I too know of games that have done this very very well) but rather, I just want my character to spin in place so that when one of the many things occur that would cause me to need to do so, I could just do so without any problems.

    ...

    B. If a monster moves too far to the right or left. Archers can shoot their bow forward and hit monsters from behind, but mages don't have enough common sense to just slightly turn a little bit when a monster is 1 degree outside their casting cone.
    Archers cannot shoot behind them, they still have to be facing the target to initiate the attack. The thing you're missing is that all archer abilities are instant, so they resolve pretty much once you use them, like Scathe would for a BLM. The problem you describe with casting is actually pretty normal for games like this and people who don't rotate as they cast to lead/hit a moving target.

    I think the thing to pull from them is that moving your camera is different from rotating your character. They seem like the same thing, but aren't.

    I figured I would reply to the rest of your points here.

    You CAN talk while you're on a mount. What the hell are you talking about? You CAN switch classes while you wait for a dungeon to come up. As for having the mount in your party for queueing for a dungeon, they already are working on this.

    Seriously though, what the hell do you mean you can't talk while you're on a mount?

I can run a bunch of low level dungeons, fates or guildleves but it's redundant because there is no real reward. I feel that if we could imply trade dungeon loot most of this would be fixed.
    What do you think the Gold Saucer is that they are working on? What about treasure maps and beast tribe quests? How about the new and upcoming information about "jumping puzzles" and Daily Hunts? They are doing all of this.

Whats even worse is they for some reason thought it was a good idea to map the menu and map button on the same button so when i get hit and it auto locks on to the jerkoff chasing me and i want to look at my map, i'll bring up an utterly useless menu and select attack when I should be looking at my map.
    While I understand how annoying it is to be agro'd, item level is not class level, it's not that big of a deal.

    lol... is this a joke? Seriously, are you just fucking with people?

    What?! That's not at all what happens... If someone hits you, you auto-target to the person that hit you if you're not selecting anything else. It has nothing to do with locking on to something. I'm not sure if there's a setting to disable it, but, yeah... it has nothing to do with your map button, it happens whether your press the map button or not.

I'm sure I can run and still turn this piece of metal into confetti.
    I have no idea what you're talking about... you're probably lagging or something then.

    Based on your inability to play Black Mage properly, you're probably not any good at it, I would recommend playing something else. I bet you think there's no way to dodge Titan's landslide as a black mage other than moving out of the way.

    I have no comment that it makes sense or not, but I think your comment on BRD as above was much more correct than your comments on BLM ^^;
    TBH, I think casters in FF always works on the way you blame.

    It's not a troll, it's a PS4 player, they're playing on Jenova, one of the newest servers added in the PS4 launch. I've played this game since beta phase 3 on PS3 and now on PS4, I've never had any problems using the controller like this person does, which means they're just not good at using the controller or playing the game in general, and any of the rest of their problems just sound like immature whining. I'd love for this to be a troll, but sadly, I don't think it is.
