No voice chat?... What a joke, farcical.

[Lost_My_Way]

So an MMO with no voice chat on a console with no separate voice chat?

Just plain ridiculous and I've no idea how its allowed and accepted to be like this or even was considered to be the correct way to launch an MMO. Renewed for 60 days today to play with my mates and now we're supposed to just blindly follow each other and not communicate while playing a game that's supposed to be about doing things together.

Don't suggest emotes or text, because I'd only consider you a fanboy idiot for thinking that's a sufficient alternative while playing the actual game.

what is the point without it?

Yes Skype exists, but its not an option for one of my friends who also bought a headset for this, as did I which is okay for me because its Skype compatible.

I was shocked enough to discover PS3 can't cross game chat this week, but no in game chat either for an MMO? Ha!

just... what else can be said? so beyond poor.

Rant over, sort it out.

Get a Skype enabled headset problem solved. Use a app on a tablet / smartphone problem solved. Run voip on a laptop problem solved.

I heard voice chat will be open for PS4. It sucks for it not to be on ps3 considering that if we dont have a keyboard we have to manually input it in via controller and it takes a long time.

Get a mumble/skype and I am sure 90% of the world has a smart phone. This is what our PS3 users in our FC do.
There is an app for that.

Plus most of the players are varied between PC/PS3 anyhow if you are using the duty finder you'll most likely be talking to yourself.

The topic of in game voice chat has been beaten to death, if it's not doable cross platform (as in PC and PS3 players in the same "room") it's not happening.

PC players generally don't care as we don't use the in game voice chat that comes with most MMOs as it's usually shit.

My FC uses C3 and has no problems with it. I would love for the guys at SE to figure out in game cross platform voip, but we'll make do until that happens.

Well that's part of the problem isn't it? Every time a console player mentions VC the PC folks flood in saying the same tired crap, get mumble/vent/keyboard...some people don't get that console players are new to things like Vent, etc..its easy for folks to say it, hard for us to DO it when we have no knowledge how it works..

That being said, my FC got vent working and we are mostly console player's, though, surprise surprise, it took a PC player in our FC to set it up. I don't even HAVE a PC, my GF has a laptop and I use my tablet/phone for surfing etc..

People need to understand that the VC issue will keep being brought up, its new to console players to have to use a 3rd party system, so as the popular saying in here suggests..

deal with it..

I understand there other ways to chat with ppl if you are a PS3 user still it's kind of a joke for the game not to have voice chat from start. For all the good things I have to say about FF14 this is a def let down, voice chat needs to be incorporated ASAP.

Just get a PC haha

[NZ_Player]

So a gamer with no ventrilo, mumble or skype?
