What I'm proposing is something I dont forsee happening until 2.0, because of what it would mean with the mini map on the UI. If it could happen before, that'd be cool too.

XII had a system where if you began to cast a spell that would target multiple targets, it would create a visible ring on screen showing you where the spell is centered from and everything else that would be targeted and those that would fall outside of it.

I'd like to see something like this happen in XIV as well, so when an AoE based spell is being prepared and you select targets, you can see via mini map the range of the spell, which targets are going to be included and those it would miss, so you can readjust your target accordingly to hit as many as possible.

Also on that.. I'm assuming the reason why AoE's are limited to 8 targets is because of the party limitation as it is. Will this ever change, will be able to hit a dozen or more targets with an AoE? Or make it so the higher tier AoE you use, the more targets it effects. So Fire would hit 6, Fira 8, Firaga 10, etc I find it funny how you can be in a room of mobs, nuke all of them down, but one mob who was in the middle of the group is never touched at all.
