In Game Voice Chat, Why doesn't this game have it and would you use if it did?

I wish the game did have in-game voice chat. But I come from a background of console gaming where so many games have had it baked in forever. It's far easier for some to talk than to access a separate program esp for some of our PS4 players, which I realized when I helped someone who perhaps....isn't the best with technology....access discord on their ipad so they could talk with us.

So in the end, yes I wish it was an option for the game to have in game chat. It's possible to cordone off voice chats into random open voice channels, team/party channels and such in a way it could be entirely optional.

However that requires effort on Square's part, time and development. It also may not be possible to do with the current game.

if you have a ps4, discord isn't that convenient, you're basicically using that and a computer and juggling both. I'd like to see in-game chat, just restricted to party members. I'd not be interested in any openworld gobfest.

For PS4 users I agree. using discord is a right pain in the butt for some people. PS4 party chat is easier, but then since PS4 plays with PC theres a roadblock. In game chat would nix that issue.

I don't see any issue with a party wide chat at the bare minimum.

I actually use remote play on my pc to use ps4 party chat with a friend. Actually works better than discord sometimes.

However, it would be handy for when half the people of the group are on PC and the other half on console. .

This won't be an issue for long with the ps5 getting discord functionality next year as part of Sonys cross-play plans.

In-game voice chat has been in WoW for years now and no one uses it. People will stick to their discord servers where they know the people.
