Yeah, this hasn't been a thing since either late Heavensward or Stormblood, can't quite remember.

In Stormblood the only block/parry that wasn't omnidirectional was Raw Intuition because it specifically made every attack you took from the back or flank a critical hit.

Keeping enemies bunched up in front of you is however still just good tanking practice, even if it has no effect on mitigation anymore.
