If defensive makes casting take longer why does aggressive not make casting faster?

Yes, I am pretty sure that stance aggressive casting is faster than stance neutral casting and that stance neutral casting is faster than stance defensive casting.

zapping/brandishing/reciting isn't affected by stance, though.

Na, stance aggressive and neutral casting are the same.

Is there any advantage to being mood aggressive as a caster?

Dulrik explicitly said otherwise at one point or another. But now I have to see for myself!

[Edit] This is what I was talking about:

If I were to add spellcasting bonuses for aggressive stance, I'd also have to add spellcasting penalties. Currently there are none.

PS. I'll add I still don't feel it makes sense. The benefits of the stances are all physical.

Oh, and as far as I know there are no benefits to being in aggressive stance as a caster.

I use it once in a blue moon with my priest to chop off a NPC's arms, but that's about it.

I'm just saying what I witnessed in-game. It's possible that Akiko was in defensive stance and just didn't realize it. *shrugs*

Wasn't saying you were wrong - I still intend to test it. It could have either a) changed since Dulrik's post or b) work differently than D thinks it does.

Also, as I was reading through oldies but goodies, I found this:

I don't get it. I always just set my stance once and then forget about it....
