Say Chat (Text Bubble)

[SoulKhan]

I have an idea for say chat, Could in the future make it ingame were when we talk via say chat a bubble pops above our heads when we talk, I like this idea because when someone is talking to you, You can read the chat above his or her head like in some other mmos. Just an idea is all

Also when I was in coil I asked them where should I stand for this part, The tank said over here with me. At that point I didn't know off hand and got used to another game were I would be able to look in the dungeon and see oh its that guy over there (party chat bubble) I had to look on the party list to see where he was, Now this is not a bad thing but it can help when things are going fast or you are focusing on the dungeon or so.

Memory limitations, not happening. This was suggested back in beta and that was the response.

PS3 could live without this, though, it's not like this couldn't be made an option for PC and PS4, but nope.

Another reason I hate consoles.

When you have 256mb of RAM and another 256mb graphics card (PS3, 2006 era tech btw) then yeah memory limitations

And as we know PS3 games use exactly the same ammount of memory/graphic resources as PS2 games, whats why they have the same hardware specs and get the same results...oh wait no they dont.
Not gonna get into a long argument about tech or about Phantasy Star as I havent played the PS2 game, but I'm pretty sure FFXIVs engine (and other elements) use more resources then what Phantasy Star did, I mean havent you noticed how the PS3 lags/frame rate drops when runnin past those Ents (tree monsters) even with a SSD drive in there. Can you imagine frame rate drop with hundreds of speech bubbles been generated?

Personally I can live with the chat box, and would rather new content (dungeons of all levels, new quests, new skills, new arms/armour) be created.

It's not the memory limitations, it's just not a priority feature to add - It works for NPCs because they're static entities, but thousands of people with text bubbles everywhere is just unnecessary strain in the long run.

The PS3 can handle it actually, it's just they want to allocate as much resources to important features as possible, even the PS4 version won't have it and it's not because of memory limitations (they say it as an "easy" way to understand.)
