Is it possible to play FFXIV if you don't use Discord?

I suppose it depends on what content interests you. Anything Savage and up I'm guessing it's usually a requirement, but that's not surprising. As far as something like Extreme trials go...no, you don't need it, though I've been in groups where it has been offered and others have joined while I remained out of it. Cleared/farmed mostly fine, and the mistakes were largely made by those in the Discord. But voice chat is far from a requirement for most FF XIV content that isn't Savage or Ultimate raiding. I think it is unnecessary for anything below that and I rarely see it listed as a requirement for such things. Offered at times, sure, but rarely a requirement. So no, I don't use it, and I get along just fine.
