Chat Bubbles
One interesting addition to the game are the Chat Bubbles, which allow messages to be displayed above the heads of the characters. The chat bubble settings, including options to adjust text and background color, can be found under the General tab of Log Window settings in the Character Configuration menu.
Note that the display of chat bubbles can be enabled or disabled at any time. By default, chat bubbles are disabled. They also won't display when using performance actions, during battle, or during PvP encounters. Then when the chat bubbles are enabled, there's an additional setting to display the messages of the players. In addition, a slider is also available to adjust the number of chat bubbles shown, from 10 to 100.
In cases when multiple chat bubbles overlap, the most recent message appear in the foreground.
