Say something negative about the game

6.0 is just reskinned content. Seasonal events, raids and dungeons... Maybe a few new boss mechanics, but nothing that is astounding.
They didnt experiment with new mechanics for the new deep dungeon, treasure maps got nothing new either.
I fear that 7.0 will end up just the same theme park experience.

We did not get any new dance in EW, did we? D :

I don't think so but we got upgrades in parasol and fashion accessories (now usable while in open world combat).

But I hope we get some new looped dances, too. Maybe with 6.5. : D

Maybe...based on ffxivcollect we got 1 dance and 6 special emotes in shadowbringers. Every expansion has a set of special emotes, EW still doens't have it.
Our highest number were on 4.x patches (18 special emotes including 2 dances)

We know they know their squares and their circles, cool.
We could get some OTHER kind of battle arena. With FEATURES. With ENVIROMENT. Maybe even with... HEIGHT.

There are so little examples from real enviromental use. Alexander comes to mind, maybe some fight in Omega. And that would be it.

P10 is literally what you are asking for

I remembered another one: P7, but i agree with you
More variety would be cool. I believe they see some difficulties to draw patterns on the floor using different geometric forms.

I miss fights where you jump on the boss and make a mad dash to their weak point.

Shinryu is the best example, you climb on their tail and dodge lazers and then later you jump on his back to attack his wings to stop him from casting a mini-enrage.

There is Bismark but people seem to hate the fight
There is Doom/Phantom Train

Usually it is just safer for them to make Square and Circle arenas because people just hate fights that have some downtime so the fight could show some epicness in the fights.

They had more arena variety in Coils, Alex and Omega because they were still testing the waters and they had more creative freedom, in Coils and Alex they felt like actual raids and they used that to make unique arenas and fights. Omega they tried to retain the uniqueness in fights but it was slowly starting to dwindle because they only had 1 room to think up of something and all those fights that had downtime, people hated it which further made room for creativity smaller. which is why some fights feel sorta samey with rehash mechanics with a different coat of paint.
