Hope the dev team considers adding Chat Bubbles when looking at UI mods

Long overdue.

Idk immersion n stuff, but having more then like 1 person on screen its would be so messy... to me it feels like some silly little cartoon >_>

Can't argue with the above, although I haven't watched Pyro. The few streams where I've seen it they've either limited it or people aren't speaking much so I haven't witnessed the clutter aspect, although I can certainly imagine it. For me personally, where I'd find it most useful would be dungeons, etc. where it's easy for me to completely miss chat while I'm looking at everything else. Haha, I know plenty of people would say that's the last place they'd want it, but I think it'd be helpful for me.

Can't see ever turning on a chat bubble options for general pop in the open world though, the Limsa Lominsa aetheryte plaza would probably be a nightmare.

1000% yes.

I can't see the whole 'clutter' thing being an issue, unless you're blessed to be in a incredibly social server. My server Moogle on the otherhand, I don't think chat bubbles are going to be an issue.
Whenever I go to a major city, only a handful of people are publicly speaking, and the majority are sticking to /tell or /partychat.

Whenever the subject of chat bubbles arise, a lot are against it because people are overestimating how big the chat bubbles will be, and how many people in reality actually speak publicly in game. But as others have said, as long as it is a toggle button away, then everyone's happy.

Sounds like a great idea. As long as you can opt out of using them. I may not like something but that does not mean others would not enjoy it, don't like seeing stuff removed would rather them just add a opt out button.

I think chat bubbles would also be great for people to pay attention if someone is saying something in the chat lol, too many times have I had people just not read the chat for advice and went their merry way to die.

Chat bubbles would help me immensely with keeping up with some discussions/chats. Having those things pop up would actually be an ADHD friendly feature because reading a chat without bubbles is boring.
So yes make it an optional feature I can see how some people would not be interested in that. But they should 100% add it.
