Speech Bubbles - Thoughts?

[Punainen]

I don't want any speech bubbles. Too cartoony, and I don't need anything crowding up my screen any more than it already is.

But that's just the thing. If bubbles are only displayed within a certain range, and those outside them have a lower opacity/become invisible, then the screen would hardly get crowded unless you all stand in a cluster of people who start spamming in say. But even so, by targetting what the player that interests you you'd be able to read just what interests you...

And I don't think what I just posted was cartooney. And even if it was, vagrant story's wasn't.

It could be turned off by default and then it wouldn't bother you. Wouldn't that be ok? No need to use it if you don't like it.
But if it's not hard to implement and when there's time for it, why not?

I think it will make city more lively, it is good idea, but it may be hard to implement.

[Dreamer]

Why is it still an issue if they're turned off by default?

I say add it and let the grumpy old men turn it off if they want.

Randis what happened to your signature? Haha

I think it's about time we moved past the "yes" vs. "no" arguements. If you didn't want them, as suggested, a toggle option would fix that. (Still sticking with the fact that 'immersion' is BS, but whatever)

Lots of good ideas about how to add them so far, i think i'd prefer something a bit cleaner/slicker than the picture someone made (although thanks for making it, definitely helped get the idea across). Just so that it does minimise the space they'd require.

I try to think of how a new addition or change would actually effect FFXIV and what most (not the drop in the ocean 30k current FFXIV subs only) of the gamers, players and gaming world would think of it. I want FFXIV to succeed and for that to happen it needs more players. I would like any feature that could add to the possibility that perhaps one day FFXIV can be one of the great MMO's of the day with Millions of subscription (or just a million? lol).

Either way, I will not say "NO!" to any option which players would request SPECIALLY if they request with a feature such as a toggle that would not effect me in any way weather I like it or not.

Think of the future of FFXIV not just of your own ideas of how FFXIV should be....

Chat bubbles (with toggle with different channels) {Yes please}
