Cant find a FC that uses voice chat a lot

[Able]

I don't enjoy wearing headsets. So, even if I was in mumble, I'd barely be talking or listening. We do have a mumble channel for our FC though.

Because some player that claim to be a girl are actually a guy. they don't want to voice chat.
I use Ventrilo and TeamSpeak in WoW before. But never have any chance to use in this game yet.

There are a few reasons why. The most common is that you cannot use voice chat easily on the ps3 or ps4. So, a lot of players do not get on it for that reason.

I was always curious about this claim, my entire FC plays on Ps3/Ps4, save one or two people, and we're on mumble just fine together

FFXIV players tend to be very focused on what's needed to progress, and voice chat isn't one of those things outside of coil (because frankly, stuff is quite easy in this game). I also get the feeling that FFXIV has more women than many MMOs (no statistics to back this up though), and sadly women tend to be more voice-shy because of rampant harassment.

My second FC was quite voice-happy which was nice, but I myself tend not to use TS unless I need it. It can be a distraction.

i think the largest reason most fc's aren't pro voice chat is its not really needed

Maybe you could give some details to other PS3/PS4 users so that they can use voice chat easily with their FCs . You have to download a phone app or something?

those of us playing on PS4 in my FC are on voice chat constantly, we use the PS party chat system and it's super easy.

The ps4 is definitely not an excuse NOT to talk as if anything it's easier there than anywhere else, the difficulty comes in talking to PC players should that need arise.

I have mumble,skype,TS,vent on my laptop but why would I want my laptop on next to me when I'm gaming and chatting on a PS4?

Another would be many do not like to sit with a headset on all day. I for one have music playing and would not be able to hear people or the music at the same time.
Also, a big reason is that many chat in multiple linkshells. It is hard to have them all on voice chat like that.

I am not saying they are not out there. Just that it might be harder than say in TERA or WoW because of these reasons.

Just a small side note, most voip now has options to mute or lower other application's volumes when you or other people are talking. Not sure what it's called in teamspeak, but in ventrillo it's called Ducking. In mumble it's just a description that says something about lowering other apps volume.

Many members in my fc use psn chat as well. I also have other voip programs jic.

My static has two PS4 users, one uses his phone and the other has a laptop next to him with TS.
