Perhaps one long bar going across the bottom that shows all of your actions and cooldowns

OR... how about is:
a bar somewhere that only shows abilities that are on a cooldown and their timers... so once an ability is able to be used, it is no longer there

I really just dont want to get to a point where screens look like this:

or this


I want to see the beautiful game... not a bunch of Icons...
I want to feel like Im in Eorzea (not in an RP kind of way though)
and not have my screen look like a game of Magic: the Gathering
I lol'd. I think the current setup with cooldown timers being integrated into the icon works well and they should stay with that, or the small list of things on cooldown works as well (though might be problematic for people with little screen real estate). It occurs to me that if they do the 3 row icon w/cooldowns, that it might be a bit better for PS3 users as well (since some users may be using 720p or less, and text is kinda shoddy at lower resolutions).
