How can this game not have built in voice chat?

[Kuroyuki-Hime]

The "official" reason given to us a while back was that the director was afraid people who didn't want to use voice chat may be forced to using it when they don't want to. Which imo is a stupid reason, lol. Why not give us an optional feature because a few people are too afraid to simply say "no" when asked to use it? Or lie and say they don't have a mic.

There are people who dont want to be on voice chat 24/7, there are even no-voice FCs (and optional vioce FCs). I know that because I am in one. Guess this is implemented and what might happen then. "Activate voice or kick" is not improving random partys.

Not everyone speaks (and hears) english well, enforcing this is just a bad idea.

Like I said...nobody can force anybody to use it. Don't want to voice chat? Just tell people you don't want to or lie and say you don't have a mic. Or just don't join parties requiring it. You can even make your own party. Seems silly to not implement a feature because people are too shy to speak up or do things on their own (make their own pt) lol.
