voice chat between pc and ps3???

[Slade]

I vaguely recall reading something along these lines as well.

One interesting thing is that a sizable percentage of English speaking players seem to use voice chat whereas in FFXIV I have never come across Japanese players who use it, much less an LS that requires it. This difference could weigh in on the decision of whether or not to implement built in voice chat.

You are probably on to something there. Its probably not something being discussed, but then again they have been preaching all this "global standard" hogwash. English speaking ps3 players will definitely be the last people invited to the party when playing among their peers. I guess its going to maybe the psn network doing something along the lines of supporting vent
