[dev1016] Not stopping to draw a weapon and go into "active mode"

[Keith_Dragoon]

In relation, I want to be able to cast spells and use abilities without having to take out my weapon (FF11). Actually, I'm not even sure why they need to have an active/passive mode stances. In FF11 it was seamless.

Oh god yes PLEASE, I can't count how many times i went to cure someone soloing a too strong mob only for then to die because i needed to whip out my staff to cast cure. I'm not a fan of casting with a weapon in hand, I also miss the FFXI casting while disengaged.
