Every single interface in this game is HUGE. I actually spend 99% of my time on this site zoomed out to 75% so I can see everything I need to see without scrolling up and down constantly. The downside to that is that I can't see all the details in some sprites clearly, so sometimes I have to zoom back in to get a look, then zoom back out. Slimming down major interfaces to not be so blocky and take up vertical space would be wonderful.
Examples of what I mean:
I can't see inventory items while trying to choose new armor, I have to scroll up and down to compare them.

When I click on a mission button, I have to scroll up and down to see what the recommended stat is.

Also, occasionally I have to scroll up/down to select certain buttons in the exploration screen, and I can't see the whole screen without being zoomed out.

Like I said, zooming out fixes most of these problems. However, it does make some text difficult to read, and sometimes makes detail difficult to see. Even if there was just a separate "slim" layout version for people who don't have gigantic monitors, it would make my life a little less difficult.

Unfortunately, because of how the site has been coded, it is not easy to do this. (unless everything is actually organized behind the scenes?)
I did one page, the explorer page, with 75% zoom and enlarged text to test it out: stylish link/screenshot, but it's really not worth it.
Would probably be better worth the time to create a new more streamlined layout completely. Would be nice if everything could be organized in the process.

I noticed that all of your examples were of the old layout and I completely agree. I have tried w/ the new layout to make things more condensed.
If you've reached the third region, the city of Ethernia is a great example of the new layout.
