Idk, I, for one, always felt not having chat bubbles was ...weird? like, you have the character in front of you, but their "voice" [the dialogue] appears elsewhere, not to mention it may disappear as soon as someone else, even an npc, starts talking. It'd definitely be a nightmare for crowded places like Limsa or during hunts, but literally anywhere else, it wouldn't really be as bad as people make it out to be, specially when option is the key word in the whole argument.
