I suck at reading the center of the screen

I think having to watch bosses and mobs and their spell effects and stuff in the actual 3d world is the most fun. Contrary to reading text. I never liked text adventures or long quest text.

Additionally, the party window in this game is also a bit too crowded with non essential information, and it doesn't have proper customization options. So from a healer point of view, the party window draws too much attention away from the world or chat window or on screen text.

I disagree I find the Chat window highly custimizable, you can even change the size, length and width and even move the chatbox to a more convienent area on your hud.

Edit: you talking about the party window oh, thats custimizable also I have it set to the smallest size and put in the bottom right hand side like in FFXI.

You can't adjust what information it displays, however. There's a lot of unnecessary info that shows up, such as the mana bars of other players (situated to the right of the health bar? Even if they wanted to display that, it is done in an incredibly space-inefficient way) and cast bars, nor can you adjust what buffs/debuffs display, or see a timer for said buffs/debuffs. It's a pretty crappy party interface, to be honest.

To be honest, while may jobs want to know the mana situation of the group, it could better be represented as color coded percentages. (67-100 is green, 34-66 is yellow, 0-33 is red).
