Unnecessary therefore essential option

And you are really overestimating how talkative people are in channels that go in chat bubbles
BEHOLD! THE UNPLAYABLE SCREEN CLUTTER OF GAMES WITH CHAT BUBBLES!!

Oh, there is none.

Most games have culling so the more people there are, the closer the bubbles have to be to render, further features give priority to people in your party/on your friends list/in your guild, and some even highlight your name if someone calls for you.

Also, if you just don't like them, the option is usually there for you to disable them



I personally find the audio visualizer in the game cheap looking. But I don't ask for its removal. Instead I just don't turn it on and let the feature help those who find it useful. /shrug


Also, they're already in the game, just npc exclusive.

I think you underestimate the crowded areas of popular servers like Balmung. There'd be so many pop ups that it would be annoying as hell. Also, I'm not asking for the removal of anything. I'm sharing my thoughts on a feature that isn't in the game and hopefully never is.

And I think you underestimate SE's ability to make a UI feature useable. My dude, I'm on balmung, and if chat bubbles work the way I described it, you wouldn't be able to see bubbles outside of your immediate area in the quicksand (say, just the people around your table). Sorry, I misspoke, you wouldn't be able to see any of it because you'd have it turned off. I, on the other hand would be able to clearly see what the people I'm talking to are saying without having to fight the vicious chatscroll. Hell, people mainly RP in /em anyway so it still wouldn't touch your eyeballs.

And I see little difference in the desire to remove an optional accessability feature vs the desire to block an optional accessability feature's implementation. Either way someone finds the game difficult to use/experience.


And also to go on topic, OP you've my total support. I've made a habit of adding all my fc members to my friends list so that I'd see them better, but I'd really prefer it to be native in the FC's features.
