4.1 npc text scaling

If they think it's working as intended then they clearly either don't know how it worked before or don't know how it's working now. I set my UI to 150% and scaled down everything to where I wanted it. Text in the dialog boxes is still tiny. Before you could right click them and scale it up to 140% manually, which made it nice and huge for sitting back away from the TV. Now no matter what setting you choose it's either tiny or slightly less tiny, but the text size itself never gets to that big 140% level.

There needs to be an option that scales the text boxes and ONLY the text boxes.

Man, at this rate this game is going to make me need glasses unless they let us resize those dialogue boxes lol

enlarging everything wouldnt be a big deal, if there were more options to make UI elements smaller.
currently you pick 60%
80%
or 90%
there is no 70% nor smaller than 60%

(which, i wish there was.)

RIP our eyes.... A sad day indeed when something like this is deemed too hard to handle.

Too hard to handle, yet the option used to exist. This baffles me. Their UI devs seem to be incredibly disorganized.

I have to sit closer to my TV to read it, and i'll probably ruin my eyes sitting that close to the screen. Maybe I should get reading glasses just for this game 🤔

I don't know if that is also on PC, but "Enlarge system UI" only enlarge the NPC text and the cross-menu, without touching the other settings

PC version doesn't have that.

Having the same issue as everyone else, just submitted a bug report and recommend all of you to do the same. They need to start listening to us on this issue

It really feels like they went out of their way to create the smallest NPC text boxes they could get away with. For a game where over 90% of the dialogue isn't voiced and has to be read (speaking of ARR, not sure what the expansions are like), it is such a bizarre design decision to have such tiny text boxes. Every option I've tried in the menus blows up the rest of the UI as well to the point that the UI takes over the entire screen, which I don't want or need.

I mean there's just no reason the text box needs to be that tiny. I'll submit a bug report, but not sure to expect much. It's just a shame, because I've otherwise really appreciated how customizable the UI in the game is.

It barely helps on PS4. It was bigger before the patch on both plattforms.
