What does (Melee) mean? Does it mean all the bonuses only applies to Melee fighters? If yes, the text should just directly say so. Also, how is a Melee fighter defined? Must have Melee Job, or anyone with bonus Melee skill? Secondly, I'm confused about the green dots. I checked out a bunch of crew combat Talents, and I'm under the impression that it's a mirror image (i.e. green dots on the left means front-line allies). Is this true? This is kind of counter-intuitive, why not have position display 3210 | 3210 instead of 3210 | 0123?

The position display matches the combat layout on the screen, so that's the way it should be already. Cannot change that.
The melee flags is definitely an issue. We'll have to find a better word, since we're really just saying "Blades" where we say melee.

Here's what I think they mean: ●●●● Talent can only be activated when standing at the "front" two positions (the ones closer to the enemy). ●●●●Interpretation 1 (my assumption all along) is that this display means the bonuses apply to the "back" two positions (furthest from the enemy), because the visual order matches the combat layout on the screen. Interpretation 2 (my confusion??) is that this display actually is a mirror image and means the bonuses apply to the "front" two positions. Why did I suspect #2? Because if the Talent bonuses only apply to melee fighters, then that would mean you'd need to have 1-2 melee fighters standing in back (where they cannot attack) for this Talent to be useful. That's just counter-intuitive. You wouldn't have more than 2 melee fighters on the team anyway. Sooo... which interpretation of the position display is correct??
Blades vs Melee is just the terminology and can be easily fixed, but doesn't clear up my confusion about the Talent bonuses. 1. Do the bonuses only apply to Swordsmen, or anyone with bonus Blade skill, or anyone currently holding a Blade (even if no Job or Skill)? 2. Does the +25% Crit from this Talent only work when making a Blade attack? What about people who are dual-wielding Pistol and Off-hand Blade?

Next update it will read "Restores (24 + Blades) Morale"
The dots thing is a known issue. It has been on my list to resolve for some time. The right side is formatted as if you are attacking the enemy always. Therefore, it is reversed from what you might think if you are buffing.
We'll keep working to improve.

Looks like we posted at the same time. Next update it will read "Restores (24 + Blades) Morale" OHHH... okay, so the bonuses apply to anyone standing in the correct positions. The right side is formatted as if you are attacking the enemy always. Sorry, I don't understand that. Can you answer Interpretation 1 vs 2 above?
