FFXI with built-in Voice Chat

[hordecore]

so when the smart Devs at square enix gonna program for us Voice chat that translate our language to japanese am tired of using text so i want voicetranslator oh i prefer if you guys can finish the program in 3 months thanks in advance.

ps: dont forget to add voice changer depending on player's race for ex

player using tarutaru: gets chipmunk voice
galka: hulk
etc

[Chiibi]

. . . Wow... im ... just wow.

[Chronofantasy]

Why? (Filler for 10 characters requirement)

[Kiba]

although development wise automated translation to different language may not be possible, I am amused by the concept of inputting voices into the game with choice to alter to match race. Kind of helps on a roleplay standpoint ^^

So all the manthras can have girls voices and leech more money out of stupid basement dwellers!

[Yarly]

This would revolutionize communication. I highly urge SE to take this guy's advice and patent it before someone else does. I forsee much money makings with this idea. Voice chatting in a game would save you, the user, so much money! Think about it, what if your linkshell is mostly EU and you're from Brazil. You'd be doing like multiple 3way calling and wasting tons of money on long distance charges.

I vote yes for this.

[Fumbles]

Yeah! Leech my money! Err I mean, yeah! Creeper manthras! >.> <.<

Elvaan: snobbish British accent
Hume: southern redneck talk
Mithra: just keep them quiet...maybe a meow or mew here and there

LOL j/k all!

lol more power to them if they are happy being feminine XD I guess in that case players just need to be knowledgable that in game alteredfi voice does not necessarily mean they are the same gender as the character they are playing XD

[wish12oz]

Or you could just use available voice chat programs that far exceed anything SE would make? Like Ventrillo, and let SE continue to work on the actual content of the game instead of dumb stuff.

< From the south and a hume, so that would be weird to have a southern accent tacted over my southern accent. My cajun accent isn't quite as cool as Gambit's, but I have been told I have a cockney one.

I just use other programs to talk to people while in xi. Not really all the necessary to put that kind of strain on the servers when you could just use Vent or Skype.

lol thatle b a tad odd tryin to talk to someone in english it being changed to frenchd XD

[chrism]

I can understand in-game voice but an in-game voice translator that sounds pretty expensive, forget the translator keep with the Auto-translate text and add in-game voice for players who can speak there own language. Thanks! :)

Hey, if you can manage to create a computerised verbal translator that recognises all accents [to a degree] in the world, go for it

PS2 limitations

I know, I know.

Mind you, even removing the PS2 from the XI club is more plausable at this moment in time than any game having that sort of translator.

[Akagamisama]

All in all though. I can understand the fustration of typing. 'Specially when you're using your PLD's corpse as a shield when the NM you're fighting is slaughering you. And especially when you've joined a server which is mostly Japanese based when you only spead English and 'Bad English'

But a man can dream, eh?

lol nice concept

[Phoenyx]

Like many others on these boards, I have lost the ability to determine what is and is not a troll immediately from the OP. Regardless, please cease the idiocy. The SNR in here is so overpowering I can barely stand it.

Where did u get your sig from? You make it? Or Someone else? Or is it part of a tracker program? See a few people with it, I even asked on another thread. But it seems the thread was deleted b/c I can't find it. Was gonna see if i had a reply. ^^

Anyways, if its a sig.. awesome ^^
If its a program, I would love to know which program ^^

If anyone else knows the answer and wants to speak up first let me know.

**Back on topic with OP: Sounds cool, I just wonder if it would cause lag to the system adding it. Automated voice-translation may be tough though, everyone speaks a little different than the next, the system would probably have to be set up to adjust for this. Its a lot of coding, but possible.**

[Leatherman]

Ok the translation is simply weird and if not impossible... But a built in voice chat for FFXI would rock-on! I don't care they don't understand me, I don't understand them. And if they want to japanese onry it's their problem, they have issues they have to work on. I can play with Japanese players just fine if they don't have issues. I'd love to have voice chat though, that would kick ass in aby, dyna and HNM!

Sorry but, unlike the French, Elvaan at least can defend their homeland. :Q Had to be said. *Tries to put out the fire he just started but realizes it's actually gasoline". My bad.

These forums need a limit on how many new threads people can make. Since crap like this just means anything semi-useful or important gets buried into page 3 before anyone's ever seen it.

Or mods need to nuke these quicker.
