From my initial bug report:
Hi,

I just restarted my Final Fantasy XIV account a few days ago and I noticed other players cannot see my chat messages. The only types of communication that does show up on their screens are emote messages.

This was an issue with my character a few years ago when I played but I was unable to ever get a GM response due to the generally high volume of calls that were happening at the time. If you could, please help. Ultimately I have to rely on my wife to send messages to my friends from her character.

At the moment, the most significant discovery is that my chat functionality works while I'm in a Duty/Trial. Which makes me believe there is something to do with my character and the server Adamantoise. My chat funtionality works if I create another character on a different server.

I've sent this request in game attempting to contact a GM and they requested I post this here in the Bug Forums. Thanks again for your help

Help me not be a silent protaganist anymore!


Followup after GM Drazielenoteb contacted me:
This affects this character on ALL PC's i've logged in from(4 different ones in total since this bug started a few weeks after go live). I was requested by GM Drazilenoteb to follow up an post my system specifications for your development team to review. I'll post both PC's I have immediate access to that have the problem only for a single character.

Please note, my character's chat does not work, but it does work in duty finder. Please review the following two Reddit posts where a person had an identical problem that I described.

Post 1:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...t_see_my_chat/
Post 2: Resolution + Assiting GM's name.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme..._my_chatfixed/

I emphasize again, this issue follows only a single character (Asura Mystbane) no matter the PC he is logged into. All other characters on the same Account can use chat successfully.

Also, please note, if contacting me in game, my character cannot reply to your tell, so please account for my emotes, as that is the only way I'm able to communicate unless I also log in as my Wife's character (Aori Mystbane). If contacting me, please try to account for this.

Thanks again.
