Does the ffxiv tutorial ever tell you how to use the target circle?

It should be something that is covered though. When I first started playing with melee dps, I was confused because I thought flank and rear were the same, my knowledge of the definitions at the time being a bit fuzzy. If the tutorial is meant to teach, it shouldn’t leave such vital elements out.

no, flank is from the side, rear is from behind.... >.> how does anyone confuse the two for the same thing. I dont need game tutorials to tell me the difference.

Not everyone speaks English as their first language, and I'm not sure how common the word "flank" is in everyday use. I've only really encountered the word in military-setting games and books. You could also have been like me and thought it was just mostly flavor text. Back then, I thought it didn't matter as long as I wasn't hitting things from the front. Only realized that it did matter after reading a guide.
