Can we have any degree of feedback in the game when a positional lands/fails?

I have zero faith in them after they made Monk of all jobs have less positionals than freaking Dragoon. I won't be surprised if positionals are removed altogether next expansion because it's "too hard" to move a little bit to the side or back of the boss.

People repeatedly bring up "oh but we could remove positionals and then replace/rework them with a more interesting system" but that really hasnt happened in any similar system yet. The removal of monk positionals happened after the blitz system, and the decision to remove appears to be made to appeal to players who would have a passing interest of the job for about a week and then drop it anyway.

I don't want a rework. Nobody I know trusts Squenix to do a good rework, just add the long overdue QoL features and leave the existence of positionals alone. Lumping resource gain or some other personal or raidwide effect on performance of the already existing higher damage positionals would be super cool! Seriously !! But having required movement really differentiates the job from tanks and makes them their own role, which I greatly appreciate, and I dont want to lose, and every mention of rework makes me wary of.

which is hilarious, because the people who actually liked Monk in Shadowbringers *loved* Monk exactly because of what it was. the positionals were a selling point and gave the job an identity. Blitz is a mess of a system that forces you to play in an awkward and non intuitive way. Monk mains just cannot win apparently. And tanks are the same. They were simplified to a point where playing pretty much any tank just feels like playing a gimped melee DPS.
