voice chat between pc and ps3???

[strallaalaa]

NO NO NO and NO... ppl is way too dependant on voice chat to do the slightest shit in game when is not needed at all -.-

<<<this, agree with warlock on something lol. there is zero need for them. i came from 5years of ffxi and we didn't need it for 64man stuff, we sure as heck not "need" it for any other mmo that has gotten easier and dumber to play since then. i'm glad the devs agree not to add it, there is tons of languages of players and now ps3'ers to add so i doubt this games enforcers of vent will win in this game. you say get on vent, i say theres another linkshell that will be better without it being used.

all in all i think it will be for smaller linkshells to use on a personal level not for any large scale events for ffxiv. but that is just my opinion. if you need people to explain the event over and over to you then you probably not gonna be in any shell i want to be in either way. if you can't do a few mins and watch a video or something, then to bad. if too lazy to type, tough shits. not waisting hours on a headset to save 20mins of typing or macro making. but meh some mmo's it's just impossible to play without vent cause they insist on it, but those are usually mmo's that are just NA servers ..i'll be happy to roll with other countries and ps3'ers just for this matter.

Here is your problem.

Go raid in any modern MMO and tell me if you can succeed without vocal chat. Yeah right you can't.

I played XI as well (pre-75+ era), and the game was made so vocal chat was far from being a necessity. Because everything is slow. Hell I could type just fine while fighting on XI. (hi2u 8sec cast on BLM)

Now we will be getting a game that is supposed to be fast paced and even worse, we'll be getting PvP. Being efficient at PvP without vocal chat is not possible.

Voice chat wont happen they said it would be to much work to make it work with PS3<<<>>>PC and also due to Harassment. That what they said last time if i remember right and maybe one day we have it but it seem for now it's a no

Well it will happen, with PC players and third party software. And I can already see discrimination towards console players. I will be honest, I would completely agree with Raid or PvP group leaders asking players to at least be able to listen on Teamspeak/Vent.

While I personally don't like forcing players to speak on TS/Vent, being able to listen is a bare minimum.

Like what?

I played XI on PS2 since release until the thing broke and I had voice chat the whole time. It's called having a laptop.

ppl have smart phone and you can download the app and listen and even talk also so ya i don't see much issue.

Sometimes I feel like the people who whine about voice chat being a 'requirement' both have no experience with voice chat (and the extremely limited situations where it IS required and 'enforced'), and have crippling social anxiety making them unable to communicate with strangers.

The only problem with having an ventrilo/mumble client for the PS3 is that is might open the console to security vulnerability.

What doesn't open it up for security vulnerabilities these days?
