I brought this up in every beta I could and we still don't have it, so I'm going to do it again on the official forums.

We need a slider to adjust the transparency of the chat box background. I'm sure I'm not the only player with poor vision, and as the chat system is now, I cannot easily read things unless I am in a very dark location. I have played with the colors, and I've even upped the font size to 20, but none of this makes chat readily readable against the busy, constantly changing background you can see through the chat box.

Please, Squeenix. Being unable to read FC and LS chat without giving myself eyestrain is seriously affecting my gaming experience for the worse. Implement a slider to adjust the transparency of the chat box background, for the love of all that is holy and/or unholy.
