Spew excuses about my internet connection or system specs all you like. The fact remains I have played lots of MMOs, some more action/timing intensive than FFXIV, and none of them behave anything like this.
It's still a 100% ignorant representation of how most telegraphed skills worked in this game by the fact that it only shows the telegraph and not the cast bar. The majority of skills determine target not when the circle disappears but when the cast bar finishes. People have largely figured this out by now while morons continue to whine about red circles and still can't figure out how they are supposed to read them.
