Change "animation locks" (makes the game too slow)

[Ama_Hamada]

FFXI did have lag and some animation problems lol I remember not being able to cast another spell until my characters hand would go down. Also on dancer I would get locked in a ton of stuff, after doing steps or a waltz..you couldn't move. I love FFXI but I can't forget this stuff haha. Not sure if its the same thing you are referring to though..I agree though, as a SMN main..its dumb how the bio doesn't transfer..and you have to wait for the server to "tick" the dots all together for it to count. That was supposed to be fixed in Heavensward (There are plenty of interviews of them saying the way the dots tick will be fixed finally)...guess like so many other things, that didn't happen. Last night it happened to me, I baned instantly and only Miasma and Bio II transferred...boo.

For spell casting, both FFXI, and FFXIV work in the same way. You have a split second where you can't cast anything, and during this time you can run without a DPS loss.
For when a monster dies, in FFXI, that is instant, you can't cast/ use abilities on something that was dead in FFXI, but you can here. FFXI did not allow you to use something and place it on CD and have it not work

No clue about dnc but I believe you could clip that with gear change macros.
