Please combine the HP/MP/Class bars/gauges into a single, nicer-looking HUD element

Maybe this is already an option, but at least for HP/MP there could perhaps be a setting to combine them vertically instead of horizontally when playing around with your HUD. You can already set your Job gauge to Simple Mode (90% of the Jobs I play have the Job gauge(s) watered down to Simple Mode bars, just not AST). I get you OP, the more horizontal orientation of those gauges was troublesome for me to get used to at first as well. Can already move and hide things about. HP/MP should be separable IMO.

On the contrary; it ABSOLUTELY is. Because not all Job Gauges are the same, not even REMOTELY. And unfortunately, even with the "grid-snap" function, not all of the windows line-up perfectly. Case in point; if you try to align any Class-gauge underneath the HP/MP bars, you'll notice they're off-center, by just a couple of pixels.

To me, that kind of stuff is infuriating. It can take several minuted just trying to get ONE BAR to have pixel-perfect alignment with another. But as is the case with the Reaper, sometimes different Jobs wind up having dramatically different "gauges", which COMPLETELY changes the way your layout has to look.

Again, I'm someone that values a clean-looking UI far more than the average person, but I still think it's a worthy cause. The default UI is just a mess. I mean, just take a look at this nonsense:

That is just... unacceptable.

you could clearly see there's still TP bar there, and it already discontinued last expansion,
and we have some improvement on HUD customization since then

can you just post your own screen instead of some random super old screenshot that already obsolete ?
perhaps we could understand more if you do

Turn off grid snapping and move elements pixel by pixel using numpad 2468

^^ Simplest solution. I honestly wasn't even aware grid-snapping was a thing? The more you know, I suppose.

For funsies though, this is my hud layout:


I would honestly hate to have the HP/MP bar tied with my Job gauge elements, because I don't necessarily NEED to see my HP/MP as much as I need to see my Job gauge elements.

I have no idea how you play with that. the blob of buttons lower down would eventually drive me bonkers lol

I would show my screen but little idea how to even do that here lol.

I barely look down there save to check for procs out of the corner of my eye and to look at my Job gauge ahah. I use an mmo mouse so everything is laid out exactly how my keys are on my mouse, ao I know where pretty much everything is.

It gives me more screen space to see the fight going on!

Also I just screenshot using gyazo.com
