Unnecessary therefore essential option

[Rasikko]

Personally speech bubbles annoy me, and you can't tell when people are talking to you in a crow anyway, since it'll be flooded with bubbles.

In towns you wouldn't be able to see a thing since the screen would just be riddled with them.

You just described Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Universe, while in the main lobbies. So I don't know if you played those during their hayday, but for those that haven't - you have not truly been annoyed until all you see is CHAT BUBBLES on the entire screen. Like, you can't see nothing else, no characters, no anything, just.big.white.bubbles.of.text.
