Haste is a positive status effect that decreases a character's weapon's delay and recast timers until it wears off, or is removed. Haste is paired with Slow, in that both spells affect weapon delay, and recast timers, one positively, the other negatively. Haste can be combined with the March status effect, despite their similar effects.
Example: The White Magic spell Raise has a base recast time of 60 seconds.
A character with +50% Haste can recast Raise every 30 seconds.
A character with +66% Haste can recast Raise every 20 seconds.
Haste gained from Equipment (including Catastrophe) caps at 25%. Haste gained from magical effects (spells/songs) caps at ~43.75%. Haste gained from Job Abilities officially caps at 25%. (Job Ability Haste does not affect spell recast timers.) Recast time reduction is capped at 50%, regardless of how much Haste the character currently has. Haste caps out at ~80%, combined from all sources.
