Maps and screenshots thread

I think an L-shape would only make sense if there was a hierarchy in the party, for example a leader that is player controlled and two characters that are AI controlled, or allies summoned by a leader who have HP tied to them. Visually, it would indicate a relationship, whereas uniformity has them on equal grounds.

I'm not sure what other elements you are referring to, but if you mean the non-menu/non-help things, the blank squares are a turn-order bar. (They'll... eventually be faces.) The icons move along the screen to indicate who's turn is next. The segments underneath are party member stats, sans indicative graphics.

I'm kinda wondering if I should just go back to my original idea where the stats were in rows like Final Fantasy, and have the menus alongside them. If they could fit at least... I was actually avoiding this in part because it was a layout I swiped from an older project, and that if I wanted to return to that idea I could use it.
