    Can you remove the Dungeon/Duty NPC chat bubbles?

    I was wondering if there is a way to remove the NPC chat bubbles? Now I'm not talking about the ones that appear directly above the NPC, rather the chat bubbles that pop up in dungeons and duties, center screen.

    I find them terribly distracting and fairly intrusive as they quite often take up a large portion of space directly in the middle of the screen. If you're in a duty or dungeon where there happens to be a very talkative NPC, especially during a boss fight it's extremely frustrating.

    Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Much Thanks in advance.

    PS
    I apologize if this is a noob question and been brought up before

    Not only that, but in many cases it offers a visual hint on either how to deal with a mechanic or when something is happening, people ignoring these chat bubbles is why most guildhests go wrong and people don't learn anything, though being fair guildhests are spammed with so many chat bubbles I don't blame people for spacing out.

    I don't mind them talking nor the chat bubbles that are directly above their heads. But when I am trying to pay attention to what is happening on screen and a NPC feels the need to be chatty during a boss fight/dungeon/duty, the constant giant bubbles dead center of the screen make it hard to see what is happening. Makes it harder to see dmg numbers, enemy placement, ally placement and is just an overall distraction. That's why I would much more prefer either making them smaller in size or removing them together. Because if I really wanted to know what they were saying I could just as easily look at the chat log.

    I don't know any of the names of them by heart yet I am still fairly new. It's mainly like bosses and what not for the dungeons. lol to be honest half the time one pops up I can't tell who's saying what.

    Are you sure you're not just confusing the fact that every time you fight a boss it gives the "(Area name) will be sealed off in 15 seconds" notification?

    Then I have no idea what you're talking about, I don't know of any dungeon that has an NPC whose dialogue appears in the middle of the screen

    Well scratch that, I suppose most Guildhest duties have it, but guildhests are very minor duties anyway
