Text Bubbles for our abilities

[Arduno]

Like we can macro/chant all kinds of things into the chat

I wanna have text bubbles we can shout out with our abilities..

Some party macros are kinda annoying
Except the important ones ofc
like provoke and I can live with the rezz macro..

I have to agree with this. But in (virtual) reality, text bubbles would just and more clutter. But i totally see your side on this. Its much easier to keep your eyes on the battlefield as opposed to darting back and forth between that and the chat window. Its for that reason all my dots have a /ecoh sound effect tied to yhem.
95% of the time, healer/tank will add a sound effect into their more important macros to better allert people on what their doing.

I like this idea too! It reminded me straight away of the Orator job from one of the FF Tactics games-- when the Orator did a job skill a little speech bubble would appear and he would make a talking sound (super cute).

As for clutter-- I have all battle effects turned off except my own-- I cant stand doing EX trials and raids with all the effects turned on-- it is a major strain on the eyes.

Text bubbles like from PSO2?

Only if as a player I have a way to disable it if I find it distracting.

Cause really... I don't want to be in a party with that one Role Player that has to have a comment attached to every single one of their skills, in lengthy detailed dialogue.

I'd be one to turn the option off if this were to happen. There's already too much going on in my screen to add some random text that a random persons wants to display through a bubble. I'm more focused on the fight than on what players want to say with their abilities.

I can reason with this if it can be disabled, and you know they will obviously provide such a thing. I imagine that would be annoying in raids though, haha. I could write something up along the lines of...

"REQUIEM DOES NOT STACK, DON'T YOU DARE"

Agreed. I know of times this feature would be super useful. At the same time however, I can see where it would be a hot mess in more largely populated areas.

Seems good in theory, then you start to think about all the bubbles for:

- Rez
- Stroneskin II
- Protect
- Summoning
- Benediction
- Divine Seal
- Limit Break
- Provoke
- Berserk
- Living Dead
- Mantra
- Bard songs
- Pulling in 10...

And the game would end up looking like this:

And have all those Kiritos' use it to "shout" out their attack names? No thanks
