Add in text boxes above characters heads.

You know me, hanging playing some FF14, my favourite game on the computers, luvin it, but one thing has got to me since the start of the game, the fact that there are NO text boxes above characters heads while playin' the game, it annoys the poo out of me.

You know what? I think that having text boxes above characters heads are an essential part of a MMORPG, the make the characters look like they're speaking, okay it doesn't really but what it actually does is make it way easier to read text. If there are 8 people in a party and every single one of them write a 20 word sentence it's gonna fill the crap out of your box, BUT, if there are text boxes hovering over the characters heads then you're gonna be fine and dandy.
Another thing is when NPC's talk i have no freakin' idea they're actually saying anything cause i don't know if it's a NPC or a actual guy. So that's one more reason to add some extra boxes, i think i've made my case here.

Better get workin'.

Oh by the way, give people the ability to turn off text boxes above peoples heads if they want, that way everyone's happy right?

I agree with this, it can be aggravating trying to communicate in highly crowded areas due to chat box flooding, not only is above head displayed text more convenient it can give a sense of where sound i.e the voice is coming from.

this may even become necessary with a growing player base, think of the main cities filled with people.

You know....you could always customize a tab that only shows you the texts you want to see.

It's still easier on the eyes with text boxes above the head in my opinion.

So long as they're optional, honestly. I don't want that shit on my screen. It looks awful and it takes up space that doesn't need to be taken up.

They said that they not going to add this for them they said does not fit within the world of FFXIV and it going to be hard for them so they said no a few months back you can do some history and find out yourself.
