With the new changes shown for Evolved Mode, especially the idea of rear, and flank positional attacks, I really hope FFXIV adds stronger visual and sound feedback when these attacks are executed correctly.

If positionals are going to become more noticeable in the new combat direction, then they should also feel more satisfying to land.

For example, if I hit a rear positional, I want the game to clearly show me that I landed a proper rear attack. This could be done through a distinct sound effect, a different hit impact, a small animation change, or a unique visual effect.

The same should apply to flank attacks. A successful flank hit should not feel exactly the same as a rear hit. Each direction should have its own feeling and feedback.

Right now, even when positionals work mechanically, the feedback can feel too subtle. You know it worked because of the damage or job mechanics, but you do not always feel it through the animation, sound, or impact.

I think this kind of feedback would make melee jobs feel much better to play. Positionals are not only about optimization; they are also about game feel, satisfaction, and skill expression.

It does not need to be too flashy. Even small details would help a lot, such as:

* a different hit sound for rear attacks
* a different hit sound for flank attacks
* a unique visual spark or impact effect
* a slight animation emphasis
* a clearer UI confirmation that the positional was successful

If Evolved Mode is trying to make combat feel cleaner, more readable, and more modern, then strong positional feedback would be a great step in that direction.

Landing a rear or flank attack should not only be correct on paper. It should feel correct in the player’s hands.
