    Add a Toggle to Hide Other Players + Prioritize NPCs being rendered

    Hi there.

    I hope everyone is doing well today.

    I've just completed the first MSQ of Endwalker, and I must say, wow! What a quest! A couple of 'issues' I did run into, however, were players completely covering the Quest NPCs and having a volume of players so great that it de-spawns other NPCS around.

    While this did not prevent me from progressing the MSQ in any way, the issue of NPCs disappearing is quite problematic if you're seeking to get additional Lore/Context to events.

    Some pros:
    - Increased FPS (Reduced Visual 'Lag')
    - Don't have to do some weird 'dance' to get NPCs to materialize.
    - Can actually see the character I'm interacting with
    - Can extend to PvM if NPCs are prioritized (no more disappearing Hunts!)
    - Can assist with Gold Saucer - Leap of Faith Events when it gets particularly crowded.

    I do understand this is an online game and meeting/seeing other players is a 'feature' and to be expected, but having a toggle would be nice in certain scenarios.

    I don't know, that's my two cents.

    Roast this Dodo.

    E1: This 'problem' gets exacerbated if people are also summoning their Chocobos.
