it works for ffxi, because it is designed that way.

i don't think it will work well for ffxiv because everybody will be running because nobody really has a CAMP anymore, and it will be frustrating as your party members constantly run away from you, because chances are, will server latency and all, it might take a second or two before the server knows that you are stationary...

anyway, i think it is left to be experienced and get used to, it's just that if the dev is just trying to give us a way to cancel casting, i think this is a pretty lame way to do so.
