I've often wanted battle to be more "readable" in that I want to be able to tell what my party members are doing, be they casting, attacks, etc.

Thus, I'd like to have some type of onscreen display that shows me what my party members are doing. In the chaos of battle (and on a lower-end machine), it can be less than obvious.

It would be great if we had an option to display the action a player is currently taking over their head (maybe below their name) and even a casting bar for a spell so we know what they're casting at that time.

I realize not everyone would want this which is why it would need to be an option to have it on, but I would like to know what's happening and the text log scrolls far too quickly for me to read it.
