ingame voice chat

how about adding ingame voice chat program. would be nice.

As long as ps3 can use it idm.

They have already said there are too many technical difficulties getting it to work between PC and PS3 that they can't do it yet.

I guess it's nice for those who play console. Personally I prefer skype, vent or the like

WoW has this. Nobody uses it.

like shikaree said no one really use the system in wow and top of that they said no due to problem with ps3 and pc and harassment issue.

I think this is needed because if they don't add it people on PC will use extrernal software and people on PS3 will not be able to use that. Having a voice chat system in game that works for both platforms would be excellent.

ya but they said it would take to much work to make it work and it cost way to much they have to ask sony for a lot of help which should not be a problem seeing how sony own a % of SE so i don't see why they can't do it but at the end i guess is due to harassment and the reason that japan,EU,DU,NA play together so most players wont understand each other when talking at least that what they said.

Admitedly, it made a bad first impression since is messed up in-game sound for a week or three.

Harassment issue is probably 3x more important. You can filter text, you can't filter voice. For documenting purposes, you can log text, you can't log voice.

Not to mention internationally it's near worthless, even before we add the slang/accent problem. Auto-translate functions are also problems too.

And add to more, if one pedo case comes up, SE is totally screwed.

Leave voice chats to the niche 3rd party like skype, vent, etc.

Actually it wouldn't be hard overly hard to program it at all but they don't want to do it, they said from the beginning this game wouldn't support the function. Personally I would love to see it added in a different way, Sony should look into teaming up with Ventrilo and make it possible to connect to vent servers via ps3. That would enable PC to PS3 chat without placing a burden on the game and creators. Will this happen, I severely doubt it.

ps3 should do what the 360 did have a vchat and party system (up to 8 players) When I played ffxi on the 360 I always have my ex in my ear was very helpful when we duo'ed stuff. But personally Id like vchating to be optional and not a requirement like in WoW. I hate verbal harrassment and girls get most of it. There several cases people can find over youtube of vent recordings of it.

An idea would be to have the voice chat only available between friends/linkshells. Would not have to worry about harassment, and while I understand that many linkshells are made up of people from around the world most linkshells mainly consist of people who speak the same language.

This. We'd be better off bugging them about it rather than SE. It's a wonder there is no such tool. I mean, this is 2011. Most MP games these days make use of voice chat.

Just wanted to point out one more consideration that SE may have: as far as I can tell, very few Japanese players are interested in using voice chat.

Well i think i prefer the 3rd party over SE doing it... .

Well...asia is big on texting. In fact their textings are emails and is actually more preferred then actually voice on phones among teens. We are the ones that are "backwards" in this case(because our carriers plans are just greedy).

Generally speaking though, text is superior when it comes to documentation with the closest thing we have is visual voicemail. Who said what has generally always been a problem we have yet to fully solve

That and you can't make funny emotioncons with voice, heh
