Text Bubbles for our abilities

If majority of people will turn it off I don't really see the point in it and I would rather they not waste time on it. I personally wouldn't want this.

And the proof you have that the "majority of people" would turn it off is...where?

I'm saying this based on past experience in other games which have chat bubbles and i have played quite a lot of MMOs and most people dislike it because it just gets in the way on the screen. There is a reason why most games don't do it anymore.

Also based on what some people have said in the thread how they wouldn't mind it but they would like to have the choice to turn it off I can make a good assumption that majority of people will share the same opinion and people have asked for this in the past and it gets buried in other threads and forgotten because people generally don't care for chat bubbles that just get in the way.

If people are going to turn it off I don't see the point in investing resources to make this possible. I am sure people don't want to see someone spamming an ability with a quote continuously appearing on their screen it gets annoying.

...but that's exactly the point. If you don't like it, you turn it off.

I personally like chat bubbles and in fact I still remember being a bit confused as to why FFXIV neglected to have them when I started up so many years ago.

Plenty of games give you the option, and I'd consider ARR to be of the modern generation enough that it's capable of providing the option.

Under your logic games shouldn't have colorblind options either, because a lot of people would keep them off. To me chat bubbles provide advantages from a communication standpoint, I really believe they should be a staple.
