Text balloons in /say chat

[Kirajah]

I... am not sure if it's actually a good idea? I just imagined Eureka, where people use /say chat a lot, and the screen almost completely covered with balloons. And more than that they will just change every second because of "one word per message" thing.

I've been in Eureka a lot and 90% of the people use shout chat.

That being said, bubbles could be disabled in instances aside from your party members maybe?

Bubbles are honestly nice, its easy to miss new text in the window, especially if someone is crafting/spamming emotes/etc. The bubble would still be on your screen to read.

You could also filter it with options like "friends only or party only".

This right here. You have multiple tabs, and I highly doubt the mass majority use Battle when just talking on the streets. I have mine filtered to Say/LS/Retainer/Craft+Free Company. No mess, shiny green notifications. There's also the option for the additional tab to detach. Make that for talking with friends chat and it's essentially a perma bubble. The tools are already there.
