I didn't think of shrinking the job gauges. I know there is a dead space under there, and I was pondering what to do with it, even pondered briefly putting the enemy target bar down there, but that might be too radical of a change, not sure I wanted to commit to doing that.

Maybe, if I can shrink the job gauge small enough it might fit. hmm.

Either that, or the empty space below the HP meter allows me to see just a little behind my character's feet for stuff like AoEs and gauging when I've gone far enough to get out of an AoE, etc. That, and I did put the status effect bar below the HP meter too. Actually I think there's something else down there but I forget what. Something situational. I forget what.
