Show battle range through variation in cursor coloour[dev1032][dev1026]

Two ideas here:

(1)
Have the colour of the cursor change to signify that you are within the appropriate range to attack. By cursor I mean the circle that appears over a target.
Basically at times it is very hard to tell the range at which archer can successfully attack, I know you begin to feel this range after time, but none the less it is annoying. Rather if you scroll over an attack and you are not within range to use it, have the cursor darkened out or change colours slightly to show you are not within range, once within range, have it show proper.

(2)
For AOE attacks have a target cursor appear over the selected target and have different coloured cursors appear over every other target affected by your AOE (everything in range of being hit)
This would greatly help in battle for healers, mage DD, DD and tanks alike.

An alternate to (2):
Have the actual AOE range visible (THM cone, you would see an outline of the AOE of this cone). It's possible this looks tacky though. It might be easier to use idea (2) and give us the ability to turn it on and off in the config menu.

I like the alternative to (2). It needs some thought to not make it look stupid, but if done well it should really improve the combat aesthetics and usability.

Maybe have the range "blink" twice like in FFXI when you target an NPC. Similar to how radars function, the circle would grow from the center to the edges. It could look very classy and 'cool'.

Alright, maybe it should be something a bit more responsive.
