Yes. When I first started playing the game I missed so many people talking to me. Because I wasnt used to no text bubbles. The speed the Novice Chat went by all the time just hid everything being said in regular chat. Not to mention the gil vendors who block out the entire chat with their wall of text and no way to filter it.

If someone walks up to you, you see a text bubble appear and you read that. If someone walks up to you and it appears in the chatbox I generally miss it for the next 5minutes cause Im focused on playing the game not looking at chat. And that is with me disabling every type of chat except say/tell/shout/yell/linkshell. Only thing Id see immediately is a tell but only if I wear a headset because it makes a notify sound.
