DISCLAIMER: This is just an opinion from my tanking experience in FFXIV for the last 2 years. Feel free to disagree /agree.
These are the 3 Basic yet important tank qualities that I think makes a good tank in Savage and Ultimate Fights in FFXIV. These 3 stuff are often overlooked as DPS parsing remains the only number relevant to recruiting static members, even for tanks. While DPS is important and every tank should be able to do high damage, it’s the BARE MINIMUM to tanking in high end content.
Here in this video I explain what in my opinion is the most important quality of tanks in high end content.

boss positioning seems less crucial lately since the boss often moves to middle by itself or the hitbox is so massive that it doesnt matter where the boss is.. compare this to p3s p4s where u need to drag boss to specific place to get uptime or even forsaken 3 and 4 where u need kefka specifically face west or east to make the mech not RNG… well having the boss moves itself is fine i guess since it gives more opportunity to people who's afraid tanking to actually try it, but they overdid the hitbox imo, since they've made melee's ranged attack (except monk) to not interfere combo anymore…
nice informative video btw
Awareness clearly isn't important since SE removed it from game.
