I would suggest putting some sort of divider between the weapon name and its information. I actually started an item guide a while back, but never really got anywhere with it. Here are two weapon examples from what I did finish, though:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$03: Thunder Claw
*******************************
Attack: 0
Accuracy: 80%
-------------------------------
Casts: N/A
Spell Power: N/A
-------------------------------

-------------------------------
Equipped By:
Yang Edge
-------------------------------
Buy: 550 Gil
Sell: 275 Gil
-------------------------------
Animation: Yellow/Blue Claw
-------------------------------
Notes: 0 Attack may make this weapon sound weak, but Yang has a special
damage formula that makes him into a killing machine regardless of his
equipment's attack power. Edge does not have this damage formula, and as a
result should only equip claws to hit elemental or type weaknesses.
This weapon does quadruple damage against mech enemies, and should be used
over any other weapon while fighting them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$07: Rod
*******************************
Attack: 3
Accuracy: 40%
-------------------------------
Casts: Magic Arrow

FuSoYa
-------------------------------
Buy: 100 Gil
Sell: 50 Gil
-------------------------------
Animation: Brown/Gray Rod
-------------------------------
Notes: You should never attack with a rod, their attack and accuracy is simply
too low to make it worthwhile. Instead, use them through the item menu to
take advantage of whatever spell they cast.
The rod casts magic arrow, a single-target skill that will never miss and
does reasonable damage at the point you'll be using this weapon.
There's a lot more whitespace, but I also find it much more readable. Since half the page is blank with this format, I planned on having the Easy Type name/stat changes on the right side of the FF4 equipment. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the minor changes between FF4 and FF2us, though.
