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

[RabidSquirrel]

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.

I kind of wish active and passive modes were like WoW. You're passive until you have hate from an enemy. Drawing your weapon doesn't change which mode your in. And while we're at it, I would like it if you could run in active mode as fast as you can in passive mode. I'm really not sure why they have a movement speed decrease in the first place.
