Chat Bubbles (nerd-rage...ENGAGED!)

[Razzle]

Wow so many "I don't want it so no one should have it" comments...

If it will ever be added I bet it will have a toggle, why shoot it down when it doesn't affect you (if you don't turn it on)?

I vote FOR chat bubbles. You guys talk as if chat bubbles ruin games, you forget FFXIV is not the first online game and that countless MMORPG have chat bubbles in them, and guess what, they are not abused or misused.

A chat bubble will be nice to have.

The point of this thread is just to remind the devs we still want them.

Well, if by we you mean the community of the game as a whole, this thread would indicate we don't, by about a 2:1 margin so far.

I'm not against the option per se, but I am aware of the strain it would place the engine under (esp the PS3 version) because even things like adding titles to names is a significant change as far as performance goes. This is orders of magnitude more taxing.

Also, I'd rather devs spent more time on other things.

They can just not give the option to ps3 players at all like they did with the merged inventory.

I agree with the OP. Me and the OP are "we".

Well 'we' (the larger community) don't. But that's not reflected in the OP anywhere. Seems a bit dishonest to imply the community as a whole is in favour of it, where the only available evidence is that more people are not in favour of it.

Well, then in that case I'd rather they didn't spend a great deal of dev time for a function that would only be used by a portion of a portion of the playerbase.

I don't know, people seem to love merged inventory so SE doesn't agree with you there and I'm glad they don't.

Really? Most people I know aren't even aware it's a thing until I tell them.

Yees I want it Even if I only could see friends chat bubbles or fc members. Id be satisfied if it only worked in residental areas cause I like roleplaying in my house. I vote aye!

Know what would be cool? Message windows popping up whenever you get a tell. You know, like in good old instant messengers. You can move them around or minimize them if they are in the way. I think it makes conversation a lot more easier and much more enjoyable than the tell chat. It probably won't ever get implemented but I love the concept.
