Hello all!

I am wanting to create a game for mobile devices, and out of the many mobile games I play I like FFRK's (Final Fantasy Record Keeper) battle system the best. It is simple and fluid and makes great use of the limited screen space. I am wondering if anyone knows how to recreate this? Here is a quick mock-up (not final product) that I made to show what I wish to accomplish:



It would need to consist of several things (that I foresee):

1) Change an Actor's spot in the formation. Front Row would increase offensive stats, Back Row is defensive stats. I know how to use Yanfly's Row Formation plugin, but I am unsure how to keep the Actors in a line, as seen above. Yanfly's plugin makes the Actors bunch up, and I wish to keep them in their slots (1 through 5).
2) Show only the active Actor's status and abilities. Due to the limited screen size, only the Actor whose ATB has filled (and is active) would have their options shown.
3) Use pictures/graphics to select Attack, Guard, Abilities, and Limit Burst. Attack and Guard would do exactly that, but pressing Abilities and Limit Burst would change the original 4 buttons to 4 new ones. Those would then be the equipped Abilities and Limit Bursts, respectively. There are plugins that utilize being able to use graphics to call events, so this would tie in to 2) where only the active Actor's options would be visible.
4) HP and ATB Bars below Actors. I believe that Yanfly has a plugin where the HP bars can appear below Actors, but I have not seen a Yanfly-compatible ATB plugin that can do the same.

If anyone would please be able to either direct me to the applicable resources, or have some ideas on how to accomplish this, it would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance!
