    Can the developers please implement an option to increase the dialog text size

    I apologize up front, usually people on the internet get furious when I bring this issue up about myself.

    I'm legally blind, about 90% or so and even though I'm an artist and work as an illustrator and all but, when something is too small to see it's too dang small
    My problem is, the dialog text for NPCs and dialog text in speech bubbles during cutscenes.
    It takes EXTREME effort and even pain for me to be able to read that, I use the Event tab of the chat box with text set to highest possible size, but the text there is one line late compared to the speech bubbles.

    I play the game on a 24" Monitor at 1080p, I sit VERY close to the monitor and it's still exceptionally difficult for me to read the dialog/story.

    All I'm asking is an option to drastically increase the speech bubble text for both NPCs and cutscenes.

    thanks in advance

    While I don't have a problem reading the bubble text, I support any implementation that helps the quality of life for our community. I hope a community rep reads this and passes it down!

    Thanks, dude, I really hope they read it and respond too
    I wanted to post this in an ask the developers thing for a live letter but couldn't find where to submit questions for that.
    This is one of my favorite games of all time and I just can't get enough of this game it's incredible to me and god knows I've played my share of MMOs and RPGs in general.

    I am blind in one eye. I'm glad I can increase the size of the chat and other interface items, but I'm with you, the bubbles need to have the option to increase the size as well.

    Also for the love of Nophica, SE, please lower the text on the Shiva battle on PS4 when she's changing stances. It's so high up it almost goes off the screen!

    I too only use one eye, my left one in particular as my right one is no good.
    To top it all off I prop up my glasses on my nose so that the left lens is slightly farther away from my eye making it as if I'm sort of zooming in, this is how I draw and do my job, pretty much anything on a monitor or piece of paper, so im used to it and isn't an issue, but it does mean I see an even smaller portion of the screen.

    Generally I don't have issues but reading tiny messages that pop up, seeing the number of stacks when tanking and such IS an issue.
    I have my target and focus target bars set to max size but reading the number of stacks can still be an issue though over time I've learned to distinguish the blurs but I tend to steer clear from hardcore/endgame content because of my vision and the fact that I take much longer to see/notice stuff.

    And yeah, I'm a tank, got my Zeta and Bear and all
    dunno why the forums say my main class is Arcanist

    I don't have issues with dept peception but damn dudr you nailed it on the buffs and debuffs thing
    it really makes it difficult for me to do endgame stuff because you have to see this stuff quickly and react to it quickly and that's physically impossible to me.

    When I first started playing, I had my PC hooked up to the living room TV. I remember it was extremely difficult to read the chat bubbles on the screen from across the room. It's better now that I play on a monitor, but I can understand your frustration.

    I also support this.

    Seconded. It's easy to be tempted to skip through text when you have to squint to read it, and there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the size without lowering the resolution of the game.
