Customizable or not, I think the Default HUD/UI needs some improvement

Nono, just the job crystal needs to be moved up, and the main weapon needs to be moved down. i'll make a quick mockup to show you. I grabbed some random persons inventory off of google because I'm too lazy to login right now ahah

Well, the reason I suggest moving Weapon AND Off-hand to the top, is because there's literally only ONE Job in the entire game that uses the Off-hand slot. So to me, my character always feels "incomplete" when I'm not running PLD, because you've got this glaring EMPTY slot. Instead, I would "hide" the slot entirely EXCEPT when you're actively using it as a PLD.

Because of that, it winds up still making the window LOOK a little lop-sided. Yes, there are the same number of slots on both sides of the window, but when one slot is perpetually empty, it begins to feel like it isn't even there. So move both Main-hand and Off-hand to the top, right next to the Job Crystal, and simply hide the Off-hand on jobs besides PLD.

Also, as far as "removing Job Stones entirely"... I could go either way, honestly. There's a part of me that still feels like they're kind of cool, but I also acknowledge that it's still a form of inventory space that you could honestly just do without. Just like the MSQ supposedly has you carrying around a "certain other stone" towards the end of Shadowbringers, I'd honestly be fine simply removing them, if it does indeed free up space in some capacity for the devs to work with.

Bumping, because I honestly just think a better default UI would make the game a LOT more newbie-friendly.

And lord knows I love me a nice, clean UI, too!
