Like I see the value of the positional requirements, they make melee just a little bit spicier than ranged and I can appreciate that. But if I don't have something that can tank for me, then it just sucks out loud.

Although, joke answer, buff the hell out of chocobo enmity generation and that would work too.
I think instead of removing positionals, they should instead remove some of the more annoying penalties for missing your positionals. Simple damage penalty would be better.
