    DEV 1302 spell casting while moving

    I have been wondering about this.

    Now when I move it stops my spell form going off does this mean I wont get animation locked anymore and get owned by Ifrit's burning love pools?

    Has Yoshida posted on why exactly we need to cancel spells while moving. I don't buy animation lock as a reason, they can just have a casting while moving animation. I love being able to move around while casting.

    I thought one of the public reasons was to have a better way of canceling a spell being cast.
    Although I think some would have settled for pressing escape.

    A slightly hidden, but not really reason, is that the mechanic for 2.0 could be setup this way and it eases people into that playstyle of "moving = spell interruption".

    The main reason was to balance out PVP content.

    He actually released a gigantic post about it a few months ago. He's really thought it through and it's coming for a variety of reasons.
