Agree with chat bubbles, not just from a roleplaying perspective, but it's useful to catch people's messages mid-fight without having to take your eyes off the middle of the screen. Option to turn it off if people don't like it. Added option to choose which channels have a chat bubble.

My biggest QoL wants are three.

1) Materia melding UI revamp. Give us something that sorts materia and stats information better, and let that melding animation be optional because it's truly annoying to see it when you're pentamelding.

2) Simple portait system QoL: the option to use the Adventurer Plate portrait as the default one. I could live very well just with one general portrait.

3) Built-in mouseover functionality for friendly actions. This would be big for healers, especially AST, who have to target swap so much.
