I think having floating icons like, leveicon, LS crest, bazaar and repairs above your head would look weird without text next to them.

I must be blind or something, because I do not recall ever seeing my HP bar over my character's head.
I think that may have been one of the newer additions: HP bar toggle on/off for mobs.
I vaguely recall seeing it toggle a HP bar over my head, but my memory is fuzzy. Found the whole thing to be cluttered/tacky and toggled off right away.
I was actually thinking about this the other day. Why not relocate that sort of thing to be next to the gameday info. Like, have your active LS crest, guildleve...paper...thing... next to that so it's up in the corner out of the way?
If we could get a separate toggle for NPC and PC above-head health bars that'd be nice too. I don't really care to have PC HP bars displayed but I like having them up for NPCs.
Oh, another quick UI suggestion is that it'd be great is if when you had a party member sub-targeted you got an indicator over name in your party interface. By that I mean the HP bars down at the bottom right (default). When you target them their name is highlighted, but you don't get that for sub-targeting. If I have an enemy targeted and I'm tanking or nuking or whatever and want to cast a quick heal on a team-mate, I have to pay attention to my target interface which can slow me down a little.

WTF Don't listen to all these stupid things!
There are bigger things to do on the game instead of this bullshits! >.<
I am definitely in favor of a on/off toggle for my characters name bazaar/repair and ls crest icons. I know this information, the only way I'm likely to forget it is after a severe head injury.

I'm thinking just the name that is above my characters head. This should also apply for the icons, linkshell shild, repair, that are next to the name. However, these wouldn't be hidden to other players, just for my view. So I couldn't see my name and icons, but could see others, and they could see me.Hey everyone, can you give me some more details about the suggestion? Is it that you simply want an option to "hide own character name"? What about the HP bar for your character? Would that be hidden along with it, or would it need to be a separate thing? Lemme know and I'll compile your thoughts for the dev. team!![]()

I'd suggest hide both "own" name & HP bar, since we can still see the bottom HP/MP/TP bar. (the resizeable bar)

I'd definetly like to be able to seperate the overhead HP bar toggle display to Self/PC/NPC. It looks nice on monsters and to some extent other players but not really for yourself due to the main HP bar. Agree that theres more important things to worry about right now though, not a major issue for the time being
