Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

What do you mean by it impact on the hardware? What hardware? Even Ragnarok online 11 years old online game can have speech-bubbles.

Faced this issue in another game that had, like, seriously screwed up databases/game engine so there were tons of things we never got, this being one of them. They have speech bubbles here, people are asking for more options. Here is the deal, you are placing a dynamic 2D object floating above a characters head in a 3D world. This is far more stressful than you realize. Having tons of text bubble on screen at once really does degrade performance dramatically. I am willing to bet that it being on the PS3 is a big part of it, and keep in mind that the graphics on this game look really good on the PS3. They are likely pushing the console to the brink of what it can handle, and the extra stress added by dynamic chat bubbles would likely be too much. I appreciate the sentiment, and I too wish to see more options, but just trying to help answer your question a little bit.

But the game already has speech bubbles for random NPC chatter...so the code for it and method for doing it already exists in-game. We are only asking for an option for it be enabled for players on the PC, which can easily handle the load! (And if there's a percentage of PCs it doesn't work well on, hey, it's an option. Leave it turned off by default. Put it in advanced graphics settings).

I'd like to see improvements to the Mining System, myself and a few other believe it is worse than it was 1.0 and the Miner skills should be nerfed (Unearth specifically.) to keep the amount of HQ Ore under control on the Market.
With 320 perception & 600 GP you can rack up 32% HQ chance, I think this is too much. Also, 50 players gathering 1 unspoiled mining spot is a bit of an eyesore.

Crafting is fun, but I have some issues with the cross class skills. Personally I think being able to access all the crafting skills from 1 job is a bit overpowering, HQ should be hard for everyone not just the people with 2 classes levelled. I'd prefer if I could use Blacksmith, and then use the skills from only Armorer to boost my efforts. I don't think the game should encourage leveling every crafting class in order to have the best chance to make HQ items.

I don't expect everyone to agree, it's just my personal opinion and a few ideas from my LS. Thanks!

Can you guys also fix filtering? When i set L1+O to 'friends' custom (non party/party players only) and i select anything, it selects carbuncles, when then opens the floodgates for targeting. When set for enemies only it works... then i target the GREEN npcs instead of the OTHER npcs then resets my targeting...

Please fix this asap. Controller play is pretty badass without any target filters active, but it's even better with the option to toggle filters.

*edit* this wasn't an issue for me in the beta but suddenly it is post launch.

I still can't even target Carbuncles regardless of my target and filter settings. I can't target them on PC with gamepad and when I tried playing on PS3 yesterday and still couldn't target them. This is really getting on my nerves and I have yet to see a direct mention of it from a dev anywhere. Not being able to target something is a pretty big deal especially if you're playing healer...

I forgot to mention pairing crafting classes and restricting the amount of skills you can use. BSM can use ARM skills and vice versa. WVR & LTR, ALC & CUL, just as an example.

I've also noticed that every Class Quest usually provides the player with the next weapon or tool for his or her class but personally I think players, new players in particular should be tracking down their own weapons and armor, learning how to use the market and giving players with/leveling crafting classes the extra opportunities to make money.

Thanks!

Could you make chat bubbles an option for us players? Like we can turn it on or off depending on personal preference. It would be appreciated.

-Ability to choose how much of a stack to buy. You could give people the option to set a separate price per item for buying the stack.
-Definitely allow a skip option for the airship/ferry cutscenes. They are lovely to watch, but they get old when you've seen them several dozen times.
-A bigger in-box, and more Moogles in each capital. 5 letters is just nowhere near enough, and even one more Moogle in each city would be a tremendous convenience.
-Right-click a name to report the player for RMT/botting.
-Retainers should open up when airships do. Until you get a retainer, you can't store or sell items in the market. This is very aggravating for non-legacy characters, and most MMOs let you do these things from the outset. (Hence why my inbox is getting stuffed with people asking me to sell/store things for them in the meanwhile.)
-Let new players from different cities meet up to do the early quests.
-Auto-dismount for teleporting/talking to NPC.

Thanks for listening to and responding to our feedback!

Maybe I just haven't reached a high enough level, but so far I haven't found a single reason to look at buying gear, with the exception of wanting it early because I tend to over level.So far, any gear I need/want I can get from quests and or dungeons. Also, with dungeon drops being so extra powered I find crafted items(at least up through level 20) are pointless, and you are better off just running the dungeons a few times for the free gear AND exp at the same time. I would recommend giving gear made by crafters some sort of plus other than it can be dyed. Right now, I am using level 15 dungeon dropped gear in place of level 20 gear because the stats are just that much better. that is 5 levels(probably more) that crafted gear is pointless, except maybe as a place holder till your gear drops. I am sure materia will be a good bonus for end game stats, but until then I haven't seen anything to suggest that crafted gear is worth the time or gil, except as a mini game to kill time with.
