This game lets us change so much stuff off the default that I find it hard to believe the chat block is diffcult to read. Heck the options for that block is insane, I've never played another mmo that gave me that many options. I have my block set up that you have to try to not notice anything. Only shout,say and yell are in general, battle is only for my group content. And yes that means I turned off the data cause I don't need it. Event is only for FC chat so only FC chat is on that and I made a 4th one being for Tells and system info. I NEVER miss a beat unless I'm away from the PS4 and even then I can still catch up.

This is the reason I don't think we need chat bubbles all over the screen. If SE puts them in the game let me turn them OFF and leave them off. Because I hate mess on my screen. Hell I spent 3 hours setting up my UI so NOTHING is needlessly on my screen that doesn't need to be.
