Built in voice chat

[DeadRiser]

Holy Christ, some of the reasoning to shoot this feature down is ridiculous. This game has, by far, the most backwards and non-progressive user base I've ever had the displeasure of being part of.

Considering that a lot of people would rather talk than type the whole time. I don't see why people complain about somethign like this. As of now, you can't have XIV fullscreen if you need to use voice chat because Alt+Tab doesn't work and all that crap.

It's like they give dumb reasons why this couldn't work. I mean the language barrier is another dumb reason, didn't they say they wanted the servers for different languages? It could work out, it's just people don't want to go forward.

Google is your friend, you can fix this. Can't say too much though lest the mods catch wind of my help & delete my post.

I shouldn't have to resort to this crap. Should be fixed. XIV's fault for that...

And honestly, way to stay on topic. Bring some relevant things to this topic, not stuff that I really don't care about.

Umm. It's an open forum, I'll post what I please. Guess you're SOL.

An open forum where when you don't talk about the TOPIC POSTED, the thread gets closed. DUH

And I care because... ? What I posted was relevant to the comment. And I'll keep posting in such a manner, in any thread I please.

Thanks but no thanks, Wouldn't trust a mod for anything. Until we get ad-ons with 2.0 me and Lina will be using the stock experience Square provides.

+1 Lina, Square will have to take this into account when they revamp everything. Especially the voice chat part, language barriers shouldn't be a reason to cut it, there are ways to prevent these things. For now we can just sit and wait for SE to eventually get to it (with all respect to the current tasks on hand).

This is the worst line of reasoning because you can turn it around and use it for practically anything that would be used differently from culture to culture. How about no addons, because people might not develop them to be multilingual? How about they take out regular chat and only give us canned, auto-translated messages, since some people don't type in all 4 languages? How about they take out the forums because I haven't translated this post into Japanese, German and French?

It was just my reasoning, settle down. The game is not nearly as diversed in game as the forums are. Add-ons usually cater to the people of that region. Even then, add ons are not region specific, if they want a certain add on they're free to use it. It's just in a forein language. It's a bit asinine to join a voice chat with people who don't speak the same language as you. Have you ever tried to hold a discussion with someone who spoke only of a language that you cannot speak? It's rather hard to convey what you're trying to explain. ESPECIALLY in a game like FFXIV.

The reason why I hate using voice chat is because it's just annoying.

It's annoying to wear a headset. I prefer to play with open air speakers and a desktop microphone, but I understand that's not optimal for voice chat because the mic picks up what the speakers say. I have NEVER found a wired headset I feel comfortable wearing simply because of the funky slack the headset has to take to connect to my PC.

However, for PS3 users, the option to use it should be available. Emphasis on option.

PC users, I know we all use vent/skype etc. However for PS3 users, an option like voice chat will be greatly appreciated.
