voice chat between pc and ps3???

[Slade]

I think Yoshi P has a bit more of a global mindset than most other Japanese players, and so he knows what is available out there and wants to incorporate a lot of those things into FFXIV. It was also interesting to read that Yoshi P uses voice chat (as he mentioned in the link posted by Kaplan).

But Japanese players in general tend to be more private, and voice chat would probably be seen by many as an unwelcome intrusion on personal privacy.

For a game where a large percentage of the player base is Japanese, I agree with the first 3 points Yoshi P brought up as the cons of implementing voice chat.



At least for those people who do want voice chat, there are options out there and SE doesn't seem to be against their use.

While not ideal for them, PS3 players who want voice chat may just need to prepare other means for it.

I hear you, but the truth is that as the game there are already many endgame shells that require voicechat for instanced raids. Plus i kind feel that its a little sexist of yoshi p to imply that woman cant handle the things said in an online game. Really as a man or woman you will be subjected to people who will be rude and say inappropriate things. Women are already playing with men in raids and using voice chat. Not having some form of voice chat for ps3 players will create a divide among ps3 and pc players instead of creating a divide between the haves and have nots in regards to a mike.
