Speech Bubbles - Thoughts?

[Evangela]

The game is fine and playable without Speech Bubbles

So it's not need to implement

Oh yeah, 'cause looking down to a chat box is so immersive.

People who have an issue with chat bubbles should be shot in the head. Since point one we said they should be toggleable. So what do you care? Seriously.

really shot in the head? angry much because we disagree with text bubbles? text bubbles imho is way to cartoony and more immerison breaking than looking at my chat window. my evidence

chat window: all dialog organized nice and clean, and ORGANIZED in a manner at which I can read it quickly and in the correct order. I also won't miss something someone says because they are not directly in front of my camera.

Chat bubbles: pop up, overlap and not organized in a fashion to easily follow the conversation, if a lot of people talking at once you see chat bubbles EVERYWHERE! way to much to try and read at a quick enough pace to keep up with conversations because I might have to shift my camera around to try and read all the comments, then it comes down to battle: It would clutter up my screen while I am wanting to use my mouse to select my target, I also might miss a prompt due to maybe my camera angle in the fight. I have played MMO's with chat bubbles and It was so hard to read what was going on because majority of the time just to see everyones chat bubbles without them over lapping each other would have to be directly overhead completely scrolled out so I can see the person that the chat bubble came from and then what they said...

Yes, And its not because you disagree. There's plenty of people who want chat bubbles, and if they are toggeable then there's no reason why to be against them. [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] They are just taking gratification off other people being denied something that wouldn't even modify their own gameplay.

Fensfield wrote down my thoughts exactly (although ten times more polite)

Oh I would kill for this.. it's been my number one requested feature from day one, and was my biggest dislike of FF XI, too.

Sure, there are people here don't like it, but all of the reasons not to like it that I've seen could be answered by simply making them toggleable, which would be the logical thing to do anyway. I mean, really, all these people screaming yay! over them not being implemented.. seriously? Why not just a toggle option? Is it really so horrific giving the people that really want them the option when you can just leave them switched off? That strikes me as kinda jerk-y..

Even if someone official's come in and said there are no plans at this time, I really hope that opinion changes eventually. Speech bubbles, be they transparent boxes of Vagrant Story-esque (which is something can already be said of FF XIV's style) bubbles, would, for me, go a very long way for making this world perfect.

I don't think Speech bubbles should be in the game. After all the game has a pretty realistic look and feel to it and speech bubbles don't exactly fit said style.

[Xmbei]

lol, I would further comment on the fact that I noticed they were on Besaid server just like me, and with my history of how I have seen RPer's act... If you do not play by their rules they will shun you hate on you and try to blist you from the community.... because you will not RP in say or anything. At least it is unofficial so I can talk how I want. I like some of the rper's and heck it is sometimes fun to participate with them. I am just stating that some in the community take it too far because you do not play by their Made up rule's of the world!

[DeadRiser]

Who gives a rats ass anyways? I don't see why it's such a big deal to begin with.
It'd be cool to have it implemented and still have the chat box at the bottom.

/joining in. HOORAY No Speech Bubbles!
