I was going to suggest the same thing, but with the option to hide transformation sprites in settings, similar to how you can hide Biolo's homunculus, ABRs, Bionics, Wargs, Flame Giant, and etc etc.
During party play, even with a small party window option on. It can be difficult to identify which character to use a single-target buff, especially when your party members have 2-3 Gazetis, small Kobolds, Wandermen, and etc etc that always moves on the go for the next mobs.
