Having the UI just all in the middle of the screen looks weird and chat box being right in the middle of everything instead of off to the side takes up a lot of space.

Things do need to be adjusted and changes a bit to look cleaner and nicer, while still having a classic feel.

~ EXP bar make it the thin EXP bar that spans across the entire bottom of the screen be nice to implement.
This was always a welcomed change and especially for classic will feel like the EXP bar is actually moving being a lot wider.

~ HP and MP bars I would make them a little bit thinner and place them parallel to each other with the HP on top and the HP and MP text is just to the left of the bars. They would also be longer because of no more EXP bar being in that section and with the bars being stacked on each other rather than side-by-side.

(The numbers for HP/MP stick them inside of the bars similar to how full screen length EXP bar has the EXP numbers inside of the bar itself.)

(Bottom section of the combined area of level, name, job name, and HP/MP bars have the total length the same as the width of the chat box. May need to make a clean edge on the right side to look good and not just cropped off UI.)

~ Shove the level, name, job name, chat box, and hp/mp part of the UI to the left corner.

~ Bring down the key binds and put them to the right of the menu buttons.
~ Alternatively, can see how the key binds look when the menu buttons and key binds are in the right corner with the key binds being above the menu buttons still. This might be better as it could look more balanced since the left side has the chat box above the level and HP/MP bars.

~ Put the menu buttons and key binds into the right corner.

(The left edge of the menu buttons may need a proper new edge created to make it look nice and not just cropped off.)

If you do this the UI should look nicer for 16:9 displays and clear out the central area where the main gameplay is.

Could be good to have two options in the settings between "Original Look" or "Modified Look" too for a look where everything is together in the centre or the HUD is split into two and put into the bottom corners with a full screen EXP bar at the bottom.
