ARR and Voice over IP

[Zumi]

Even if they did put an official voice chat in the game wouldn't it end up being ignored?

Blizzard put in official voice chat for WoW and guess what nobody uses it because Vent/Mumble/TS/Skype offer better quality, and people prefer their 3rd party VoIP programs to one that's provided in game. People in a guild rather pay for their own vent or mumble server then use the in game voice chat.

Maybe... If it was for PS3 players then they would be forced to use an in-game voice chat feature.

If Square Enix is really going to build one then maybe 70%-90% of the player-base would ignore me or kick me out of their party for not using a mic. It's just happened to me a million times in Xbox Live (I look at you Left 4 Dead 2...)

Well, to me, this is about getting less people ignored. Its unfortunate that even if given the option you couldn't do anything about it.. If you've got any ideas for functionality you should recommend it (probably in another thread since they wouldn't relate XD). Like those markers (tagging) should be helpful right? With addons coming you may find some special UI features as well.

I will think about it in beta, however, it would kill the community for me even 8 party members probably I am only the one who without a mic and see this party being silent for me. I have had to use my brain to figure out what's going on.

Join an exp party and then a leader would ask "anyone wanna voice chat? join me!" then I don't even know what to say but let them ignore me and enjoy myself instead hoping they don't kick me out for being an anti-social person.

Nevertheless, I am still getting feedbacks from my friends though.

Only the one ps3 players who have no smartphone.

That's not worth for the dev team to build one and later to improve it to make it better while third-party programs are still improving.

Well, that's their loss.

Again, if you wish to continue discussing about VoIP then I don't have anymore information about it as Yoshi-P already stated that they will not make one and suggested you to use a third-party one.

If you have internet in your house for your PS3, you're likely to have a smartphone, laptop, mac or PC in it in this day and age.

Still doesn't mean people wanna play while having their phone next tot hem or the laptop all the time. This is the main reason why a lot of console players hate pc players for saying stupid stuff like this.

You don't want your phone next to you? really so when someone text or call you going to walk to the room or w/e area you have to phone to pick it up?

Sorry but everyone who have a smart phone they don't leave it laying around the house and forget about it so having the smart phone next to use while listing into mumble,vent or ts is not that bad and you can even talk and it sound great i try it. So i not sure where you going with the smart phone thing because everyone keep it near them.
