Like, if I 'm standing directly behind the boss and I hit a rear positional button, I know intellectually that I've hit that positional requirement, and have thus increased my damage or what have you. But in terms of actual game feel, there isn't much of a difference between hitting it and missing it. It feels very unsatisfying.

Perhaps there's something I'm missing, but I can't actually tell if I've hit a positional other than:
a) I am very obviously in the right position
b) I use some sort of 3rd party tool and review after the fight

I feel like if the Dev team want to keep positionals around one of the best things they could do is improve the visual/audio feedback for sucessfully hitting one.
Surprisingly, I've noticed SAM has that in terms of the sound of your ability when you get positionals. It sounds distinct compared to when you fail the positional. I however have not noticed that playing MNK or NIN
