Would this compromise for positionals work?

Which point? You mean "mechanical depth and interesting gameplay" without positionals, meanwhile you seem to main 1 button classes like SMN / SGE and broken WAR now, because they offer so much depth?! You prove yourself to be a selfish troll yeah, nothing else.

I do love them all. Not really into SMN that much tbh, but really like WAR and SGE tbh. DPS wise I like MNK and RPR a lot. I mix it up a lot and love to play that way. Crazy that I can huh, all I have to do is pay for the game and hey presto, I can play what I like how i like. Funnily enough the dev team saw things from my perspective without ever probably seeing a single post of mine. But hey, great minds and all that.

Have a nice day chap.

There's an intersection of movement when it comes to mechanisms in fights. Fight-based movement requirements (e.g. getting out of AEs) and class-based movement (e.g. Cast times, positionals). The point is to make have an interesting decision making process that happens when playing these classes. Casters typically have abilities that allow them to negate (e.g. Swift Cast) or lower (e.g. Hyperspeed) cast times at certain points during the fight and melee have certain abilities (i.e. True North) that negate the positional requirement.

These are aspects of tactical gameplay. Positionals in Shadowbringers didn't even matter that much and they matter so much less now. Crit rate causes a bigger swing in DPS than positionals right now. Phys Range are available if you don't like either of those two movement related gameplay mechanisms.
