Options for the NPC Text Box!?

They could just redesign it to how it works in XI. If you're engaged in NPC dialog and it gets to the point of being pushed out of the box by other chat from your LS or the random say, etc ~ it'd pop out along the top of the chat window for 2-3 lines so you don't miss it. And another feature that would be great is being able to expand your chat window to full screen instantly as you could in XI, and then cycle through the various chat tabs.

Oh no i agree am on gamepad so i guess that why it work good for me. I do wish that i could move the NPC chat log -.- it always overlaying my chat and hard to read.

I honestly would prefer it in a popup window that can be resized and moved.

Furthermore, I'd also prefer not to be "locked on" the NPC that I am speaking to. I'd like to move around the NPC and if I get out of range the dialogue box just goes away. I find that more frustrating than the current box itself. Then of course when you are done with the conversation, there is this 1-2 second period where you cant move or open any menus/etc. That to me is much more pressing than designing a new box.

Also for cutscene's They should choose already, Box pop up or chatbox not both at same time. Makes cutscene's feel less cinematic, they feel too cluttered atm! Best option is Kahlus' imo, worked great for normal npc interaction, cutscenes, and or talking at same time.
