    Maybe if it was an option, only MMO I could stick with that had this type of chat was Ultima Online. I can't stand them in the other MMO's. Actually I forget how typing took place in UO now..

    The main thing is this. Sometimes, WHM doesn't stare at party chat. Having chat bubbles on, he/she can see me or somebody unleashing the Caplocks on top of their keyboard saying "MEDIIICCCC!!!!" and immediately heal that target. xD

    I haven't seen it done in an MMO myself (I know some do, I just haven't seen it myself), but Xenosaga III does this to absolutely amazing effect. It really streamlined the quest system and opened up a lot of interesting possibilities. You could actually organically "overhear" a conversation, rather than having to awkwardly walk up and talk to total strangers for your quests. If done tastefully, I think it could be even more useful in an MMO.

    The landmines you would have to watch out for is taking one step forward and two back by making NPCs say the same things over and over again, which would take away from things, rather than adding to them. I don't know if it would be a good fit for FFXIV necessarily, but I don't think it's something that should be discarded out of hand.

    Probably why I don't love them. I never heal! It does sound easier to talk as a healer with chat bubbles, I agree

    As a whm i'm allways looking at the party window i'm neither looking at the chat nor the ppl i'm healing or what is happening so i don't see any use of a bubble

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.

    If a WHM needs to be told who to heal... may God have mercy on that party.
