Request: Can we have Chat / Emote Bubbles?

[GenJoe]

I've always thought of chatboxes as a western comics thing.. Maybe it'd be cool for DC Universe or that Marvel game, but Final Fantasy, just feel like it'll be weird.but I'm not against the additional options as long as it can be switched off. I feel like addons would allow something like this to happen. What we need is an addon support that we've been waiting on for 2 years. Let us players fix the abhorrent UI in this game and give us more options.

Uh, what I mean is when he spam it in "public" way? Even you block them there's no reason they will do other way to make sure their shout goes to you.

Yep, what some RMT have started doing now is that they go to a hub like limsa aetheryte plaze where lots of people hang around, and just spam it using regiular /say




P.S. Noshpan, is your sig from War of Genesis 3?

No thanks.

I support the idea just for the fact of annoying anyone that doesn't want chat bubbles.

[kyuven]

No thank you

If it's toggleable I'm for it.

This request again? Look, I've played games where the primary chat were chat bubbles. I can get annoying fast, especially if they attach a noise to it. Case in point...

I don't care about NPCs getting chat bubbles, it's a quick little thing that often isn't even consequential to anything else, just a little flavor for the area (like Gold Saucer, such a glowing example of parenting). Players, though, can and will turn them into something rather disgusting of not just spam it outright. I've seen it happen. Alot.

Yoshi-p said that he does not like the idea of chat bubbles it's too cartoony and FFXIV is more of a high fantasy look game.

I hope he does not change his mind also just to favor people.

And if you don't ever have to see it because it's an optional toggle, why does it matter?

I think the people running around in glamored underwear and wedding outfits 24/7 look ridiculous. And yet, unlike the chat bubbles that are being requested, I can't avoid seeing that nonsense with a toggle.

People saying: "Wouldn't ever use it, wouldn't want that stuff on my screen, so I'd never toggle chat bubbles on." - that's a valid opinion. People suggesting nobody should have access to the feature, though, are just being odd. Do you guys run around in discussions for colorblind players vetoing everything you would never want to use?

I wouldn't use it, therefore those of you who would, should not have it as an optional option that you opt-in to just because I don't like it. So there!
