I don't think the point he's trying to make is "I can afford to have 20 different devices in my house to seperately run VOIP programs from my main gaming system and so should everyone else", because I remember playing XI I used to not have a router (back in the day!) and I played on the PS2, so I was only able to have one of the connections (PS2 or my PC) running at one time, meaning I was unable to take advantage of things such as VOIP or online resources in general.

I know people who would play XIV on the PC and then use their spare laptop for the VOIP (usually due to something such as the VOIP program crashing their game client on the same machine), and that's totally cool, but it would be nice to give console gamers the option to engage in VOIP through the game if it were possible for SE to manage (it might cost them more money than it's worth) especially considering that many people who play games on the PS3 such as Call of Duty, which have been known to always have a voice chat feature built into their games, likely already have a headset that they bought specifically for their PS3 (I personally have a bluetooth one for my PS3) and it would be a great additional and optional feature for those players to enjoy.

I also don't want to have the future PS3 playing community of FFXIV to feel alienated because they're unable to setup their play environment to accomodate an extra PC/Laptop purely there for the purpose of using a VOIP program.
