    Dark Mode, For Story Quest Dialogue

    Adding a dark mode for the story dialogue boxes.
    To clarify I mean for story dialogue, i,e when NPCs are speaking during quests.

    FF XIV being a story based game making the stories, more easily accessible would greatly improve the quality of the game.
    Especially story lines, that currently don't have voice acting, such those for alliance raids, normal raids, and job quests just to name examples.

    I mean to suggest this an accessibility feature. Both my brother and I are legally blind, and i believe adding this feature would seriously improve the quality of the game, by reducing eye strain. this would be a great benefit to people who don't suffer from specific conditions as well.

    While there's no dark mode for that text box, you can increase it's size, independent of the rest of the UI. If you right click (or the controller equivalent) the box there's a "scale window" option that goes up to 200%.

    This is true, and I do use increased size is very helpful. Photosensitivity is also an issue, even for people without sight issues

    I would also like the option to use the blue retro style box that is used in the third part of Ultima Thule.

    I would like this too the dialogue box is too bright and it’s unpleasant to look at. A darker theme for it would be appreciate it.

    I agree with this. I inherited a faulty cornea so my eyes can't handle light mode too well so I usually take breaks from reading the MSQ as a result of the strain it causes. having a dark mode for the bubbles would really help me a lot

    Still hoping for classic FF blue boxes style to go along with the rest of my UI theme
