Actually, it's like saying, "get a smart phone"

this topic been made loads of time SE said it would take take and money and talking to SE to make it. Top of that they said they can't control harassment over Voice chat in there own game so it be harder on them.
and many other reason why they can't do it.
Hows Ventrilo or TS on android anyways?? anyone tried it out?
I wonder if they could provide a ps3 only service that let you send into that open source chat client (doesnt have to be this one, but there would need to be some method setup by SE or setup-able by the player to connect as a ps3 user to voice chat). In that way the ps3 players can talk to the PC players so long as there is a third party server (which would receive and then distribute the data), which means SE wouldn't have to censor any of it.. (still would cost money though lol).
I just dont think its idealistic to expect all ps3 players to have a laptop, their ps3 by their tower, or a smart phone. Put a warning on the ps3 game box "if you dont have one of the following our intense dungeons are going to be a giant PIA, also people will be less likely to try a dungeon with you".
Not a lot of linkshell ask you for TS,mumble,vent and the once that do most of the time they don't even talk. If you smart enough to learn how to do dungeon without the help someone telling what to do every step then you be fine. Maybe ps4 can have 3rd party chat system and run games at the same time i know that not a fix for the ps3 but noting can be done sadly.
a lot of people have smart phones so this issue wont happen a lot but like i said there many ls that still explain in chat vs talking so people could always find that type of ls. I do have a feeling the ps3 and pc could end up having there own linkshell due to voice chat and addon that PC have over the PS3. Even tho yoshi-p said that dev would add the best and most use addon on pc to ps3 it would take months to see any of it being done to for ps3
i hope i'm wrong about pc and ps3 being not together tho that would suck.
I was kinda disappointed that Square Enix didn't show some deaf-friendly features.

In the final boss battle, I was surprised that a leader can pop some number icons on top of monsters for his/her party members to see what to kill next. Even, sub-mobs respawn around the boss, a leader can modify all icons like "change the number 1 icon on top of the boss to cancel" without telling party members what to do. It seems we can fight everything even without a keyboard or headset.
If you have played Portal 2 online then you would know what I mean though.
Just don't get the game on PS3 and you're golden..
Even with in-game VoIP, I will still be using vent.
