seems like it should be simple to just add a button to turn off/on various aspects pointed out in this thread.

-off/on check box (or even better a hotbar command )companion, pets, non-targetted monsters in fates ( or more specifically, monsters that you don't care about, like you only want to see the main monster and any adds for a fate, and maybe aggroing regular spawn mosters (that have actually aggro'd someone), not all the surrounding regular spawn mobs), characters outside party/alliance

- I think a huge part of this, and expecially the video a page or so back, is to turn off character visualizations (which is already in the game if I recall...I'm at work so I can't check either).

-I'm sure it would be nice to have a visualization order something like this: self>party/alli>target monster>fate adds>aggro monsters>other players>pets>choco's>companions...but honestly I don't care about seeing pets or choco's very much, and i definitely don't want to see a baby behemoth or a chigoe or something, and I'm not sure how complex the code for visualization order would be compared to just adding an on/off switch....at least for now, on/off switch would be much more useful.
