Hey everyone. SpookyRobinson here. I wanted to give my thoughts on chat bubbles for FFXIV. I think the chat bubbles would be a v nice feature. They would create a lot of opportunity to interact with other players as well as provide a better user experience for all players. Plz enjoy :))) chat bubbles in FFXIV would be awesome! SpookyRobinson OUT!

  1. A chat box is super immersion breaking. Personally, I turn that shit off! I ONLY look at chat bubbles. I know what you’re thinking… what if I miss an important message? Too bad! If you couldn’t see the chat bubble, it probably isn’t worth seeing!

  2. I'm new to FFXIV, and I'm also wondering why it doesn't have chat bubble for player's chat.

    Technically there ARE chat bubbles in FFXIV. For example, sometimes when you wandering around cites, you will see those chat bubbles from NPCs. They just don't do it on player's chat, and I don't know why.

    It's much easy to follow and note someway is talking IMHO. I remembered once I died in a dungeons (when I was playing a healer) and I returned back to the dungeon entrance and don't know how to enter the dungeon again, because I didn't know that I should go to the "short cut" instead of the entrance.

    And it took me sometime to realize that another party member was talking to me and tell me to follow him to the short cut. If there are chat bubbles, then I will certainly notice that he was talking and direct me how to enter the dungeon again.

  3. It sucks this game has no Chat-Bubbles, because of that, people dont react all the time, probably bec they dont look at the chat when in battle or in gerneral all the time… This is one of the reasons the game feels like a singleplayer with some multiplayer elements slapped onto it, which is a shame. I want to chat with more people, it feels so empty, even if so many players are around you

  4. Honestly it legit blows my mind that there's no chat bubbles in the game. I legit got confused when chatting for the first time in ff… literally thinking I did something wrong because nothing popped up indicating I was talking. Having your eyes focused on a chat box when this game has a focus on rp and being a part of an interactive world takes me out of the experience. Very dumb decision to not have it as an option.

  5. Ive heard that FF14 Online has elitist lunatics who rage and hate on people for wanting chat bubbles…thats crazy lol I see this video referencing those elitist lunatics a bit. Every MMO I’ve played had the chat bubble option.

  6. the amount of mental gymnastics FF14 will make in order to justify shitty design decisions just baffles me, i just got downvoted on reddit for talking about this. I'm loving the game but the community seems so stupid.
