    Enhancements to Item Help (tooltip) for gear

    A few requests for some QoL regarding the tooltip for gear items.
    1. Please add an option to display the item help for both an equipped gear piece and the highlighted gear piece -- in effect, the Item Comparison feature as the item help. (But at the height of the current tooltip, please -- the current Item Comparison window is bigger than it needs to be for this purpose)
    2. Please include materia effects in the item's listed stats, perhaps italicizing any affected values. This would be helpful to everyone, but especially for Disciples of the Hand/Land. Trying to determine if an item is an upgrade or a downgrade is particularly bothersome for non combat classes, whose melds may be in no predictable order, and who sometimes need to choose between a partially melded high level accessory and a fully melded accessory from many levels ago.
    3. Please include delta values for each stat. This already happens for Defense and Magic Defense on items and damage ratings on weapons. However, the listed Defense/MDefense values are pretty much useless to everyone who isn't a tank; and in the case of accessories, all of which have defense values of 0 or 1, useless to everyone. Comparisons of all the other stats on a gear piece would be infinitely more meaningful.


    I've prepared this visual aid as a demonstration of a possible implementation of these requests.

    (The Quickarm materia is just there to show how the comparison should handle stats present on one piece but not on the other.)
