PS3 Mouse and Keyboard Support??

I don't think the ps3 has that selection.

If voice is needed PS3 users can start a private chat via their headsets/blutooth. Putting voice in XIV only ruins the immersion and we have a lot of different languages being tossed around as well.

As far as the VIOP (which isn't really the point of the thread) Teamspeak, Vent and mumble are really double-edged swords. They are slick COm programs that continue use even if the game client drops you, as a 3rd party program a game company need not spend/hire/licence Voice software internally.

And you can keep your ears free of D***bags, arsehats and racist 14-year olds.

The downside being the lack of Ingame voice is you never really chat with a pickup group, random people without passing out your Voice server info, they set it up etc. (add troubleshooting for the computer inept)

And with cross-platform games that are slowly becoming more prevelent, your ending up with the PC users who TS/Vent/Mumble, and the ps3 users who Btooth further seperating the comunity, which integrated voice helps with.

Still holding out for a Game company to work WITH a software provider like TS of Vent to make that very program accessable and plug in worthy to the game client itself. So you could /Voice invite Don Juan

and it would connect him to your Vent server. One can dream

The PS3 release of Portal 2 feature cross platform voice support. And it worked very well precisely because people didn't use Vent/Teamspeak/etc for voice as it was provided in game. Vent/Teamspeak/etc are the only VoIP solutions that require an external server. There is no purpose for a dedicated VoIP server! Also these programs are awful to setup.

I think a better solution is text-to-speach.
