Speech Bubbles - Thoughts?

[Bayohne]

We heard back regarding the possibility of implementing speech bubbles as a chat tool. The team let us know that there are no plans to use speech bubbles in the game, but that they are working to improve the chat windows, and chat system, so if you have any feedback I'd be happy to pass it along. (I don't think this thread works for those kind of suggestions, so perhaps a new one?)

Hi - new to the forums, my first post actually (I was going on a liking spree)

Has anyone tried PS3's "Home" - it has speech bubbles and I rather like them!

If you are far away - you cant see the speech and have to move in closer to "listen" etc.

Anyways - thats my 2 cents

Take care and enjoy the long weekend - rapture party anyone???

agreed... I do not want my screen flooded with chat bubbles from say and shout, expecially on Besaid... you have 1 Eliza Joran, no comment -.-, and all the say RPer's my screen would be up to the hairline in chat bubbles I would quit instantly...

this is not to say I hate the community or what they do... but I would prefer my screen not be bogged down by multiple upon multiple chat bubbles. I have more important things to look at on my screen than a "game immersion" breaking chat bubbles... I am not in a comic book!

Oooh thank you Bayohne! <333 Thank the lord

The game is fine and playable without Speech Bubbles

So it's not need to implement

Oh yeah, 'cause looking down to a chat box is so immersive.

People who have an issue with chat bubbles should be shot in the head. Since point one we said they should be toggleable. So what do you care? Seriously.

really shot in the head? angry much because we disagree with text bubbles? text bubbles imho is way to cartoony and more immerison breaking than looking at my chat window. my evidence

chat window: all dialog organized nice and clean, and ORGANIZED in a manner at which I can read it quickly and in the correct order. I also won't miss something someone says because they are not directly in front of my camera.

Chat bubbles: pop up, overlap and not organized in a fashion to easily follow the conversation, if a lot of people talking at once you see chat bubbles EVERYWHERE! way to much to try and read at a quick enough pace to keep up with conversations because I might have to shift my camera around to try and read all the comments, then it comes down to battle: It would clutter up my screen while I am wanting to use my mouse to select my target, I also might miss a prompt due to maybe my camera angle in the fight. I have played MMO's with chat bubbles and It was so hard to read what was going on because majority of the time just to see everyones chat bubbles without them over lapping each other would have to be directly overhead completely scrolled out so I can see the person that the chat bubble came from and then what they said...

I don't think Speech bubbles should be in the game. After all the game has a pretty realistic look and feel to it and speech bubbles don't exactly fit said style.
