This is an Ashita v4 port of the Balloon addon, forked from StarlitGhost's version. The original Windower Balloon addon was created by Hando and modified by Kenshi, Yuki and Ghosty.
It would be nice, especially when the log is hidden, to view previous chat messages in balloon.
My thinking initially is something like:
/balloon history to bring up the most recent message.
Keyboard and controller left/right buttons to move backwards/forwards in time through the previous messages.
This is especially useful where some NPC dialogue is timed (e.g with a cutscene) and you might not have time to read it. The FFXI team obviously don't usually have to worry about this as normally all NPC messages are in the chat log but if we hide the chat log messages with Balloon, it's easy to miss some lines of dialogue that go by too quickly.
