As it happens tool-tip info on spells and such didn't come into the series on the whole until FF6. Before then you were just as in the dark as PS, although to be fair the spells and items in FF1-5 were somewhat easier to decipher. PS4 (which is what I'm playing now) at the very least lets you know what items your characters can equip at shops, though it doesn't say if it's an improvement. I really honestly think games like PS2 would be VASTLY improved if they had just these little add-ons to make life easier.
