Can SQ-EN draw a line in the sand w/ 3rd Parties?

This sounds like the DBM addon in WoW, which gives countdown bar graphs to mechanics, but no positioning suggestions that I know of. Didn't know this was possible in FF.

So, if we're going for no hints of upcoming mechanics, we may as well get rid of the orange telegraph markers on the floor. No advance warning at all, other than cast bars, boss movements, and sounds to tell you where to be at any time.

Honestly, in savage et al, a great many of the mechanics do lack the orange telegraphs; you're expected to watch other things—boss attack animations, sounds, cast bars, etc. (And if there's a mechanic that does have the orange telegraph, it comes well after other tells; by the time the telegraph is up, it's probably too late to dodge it.)

So... everything else aside, while I stand by my earlier statements about how I don't care that much if other folks use Cactbot (provided it doesn't hinder my own experience of content), that "no orange telegraph markers" is kind of where a lot of higher-end content is at.
