Backpeddling is annoying, as anyone who's played Ocarina of Time would know.

In FF14, it can get you killed.

I like to use the Lockon feature, sometimes just because it gives a better camera angle to enjoy the visuals of the fight from, but it forces me to backpeddle, even using the legacy control style.

Is there any way to avoid this or am I doomed to have to un-lockon if I need to go away from the target?
