Why not just leave them toggled off then? For those of us who don't want them (yes that includes me) it's basically a one time option toggle and everything works as it did before. People who do want it get a QoL improvement.

I don't get why people are opposed to there being options.

I dont see how is it a QoL improvement when you can look at chat to see if someone's talking to you? After all, the only certain way you know someone's talking to you is, by either a TELL, or saying your name.

I don't care, so long as it's not hard to implement (and thus could potentially take dev time from something higher priority) and I can turn them off. Zero interest in having chat bubbles in the game for myself.

They already have rendering limits and stuff. I imagine half the bubbles wouldn't be shown. And they'd be overlapping so bad you can't read them anyway.

Not everyone hangs out in Limsa all the time.

I found the speech bubbles handy in WoW in combat content. I'm not looking at my chatbox when I'm in combat, I look at the arena. And if I see a speech bubble pop up in the arena well then I know right away someone has said something. Without speech bubbles I do miss what is said in chat quite often when I'm in combat.

Only time they're useful in combat is when an add-on makes your character say something in chat.

And in my guild, if you're streaming, they must be OFF. I turned them off because I got sick of seeing giant bubbles full of text walls.

This game lets us change so much stuff off the default that I find it hard to believe the chat block is diffcult to read. Heck the options for that block is insane, I've never played another mmo that gave me that many options. I have my block set up that you have to try to not notice anything. Only shout,say and yell are in general, battle is only for my group content. And yes that means I turned off the data cause I don't need it. Event is only for FC chat so only FC chat is on that and I made a 4th one being for Tells and system info. I NEVER miss a beat unless I'm away from the PS4 and even then I can still catch up.

This is the reason I don't think we need chat bubbles all over the screen. If SE puts them in the game let me turn them OFF and leave them off. Because I hate mess on my screen. Hell I spent 3 hours setting up my UI so NOTHING is needlessly on my screen that doesn't need to be.

Y'all really thinking that if it got added it wouldn't be a toggle ������

I do want to see chat bubbles. I don't think we've gotten an update since the PS3 Limitations era, so curious to see if they can be done now.

PS4 limitations.

Would be great for group content. I honestly can't be bothered to check chat every 5 minutes to see if someone has an opinion, note or AFK announcement. If it appears in a bubble in my immediate view, though, much better chance It'll get noticed in a timely manner.
