Everyone, and I do mean everyone, that I have spoken with (on Excalibur and Behemoth) agrees that an in-game chat option should be placed. There are ps3 and ps4 people being shunned from end game content because they do not have voice chat (TS3, Vent, Mumble).

Other MMOs offer this ability as an option. To keep up to date with what gamers want then the devs of ffxiv should offer in game voice chat as well. We pay monthly fees to play this game and we expect to play a game with options that should be standard within all MMOs that have raiding dungeons.

If you do not want to use the voice chat, that is your choice. If you are a racist that can not stand other languages and accents, well... that's your problem.

I recommend that the voice chat option be available only in 8+ man instances, where it is truly needed.
