I guess they are...

Well, I'm not sure people who decide to play on PS3 are on the talkative side - otherwise they could be disappointed... Unless they have some speech-to-text tool, typing with a gamepad using to native visual keyboard is like booooooooring (♪) on a console.

stop giving weird idea >_<

though if its not for this game, I dont really care lol

Do FFXI have really this ingame? And I mean ingame and not on POL.

No, i said through POL. But also.. the messages you sent ingame are saved in POL and the messages you sent from POL will be received ingame. Well that is how it worked a couple years ago, no clue if they changed it.

Hehe, I'm not talking of a tool SE should implement - this would be fastidious to address and, in the end, money-wasting, since from what I have seen around the web, such gadgets already exist for PS3 players. But I may be wrong.

Edit: It's a SDK Sony has offered to game devs, so only a few games use it ftm.

Just put a usb keyboard on your PS3 or use this on your gamepad:

Can I get an in-game achievement for all the forum medals I have?

True, true. Why didn't we just think of this from the beginning of the thread?
Now, the idea of an integrated web-browser really is appealing.

Its already been said by devs this aint gonna happen unfortunately, though it would be kinda cool

No, but you can distribute your post count as experience points. Imagine the shitstorm that would ensue.

I actually remember them saying this quite recently? Anyway I could only see them using this for sort of automated requests, stuff like (I need) x (of this item) (Contact me!) (Reward)

You know? Kind of like shouts but not clogging up the chat channel.

It will give people another thing to do while staying in town.

I love this idea! I have often said it would be wonderful if the lodestone were integrated into the game so that players could access it without needing to tab out or log out. Similar to Eve's in game browser.

I made another post somewhere suggesting that the lodestone newspaper posts be accessible in game, maybe from an NPC or the table in the Inn room. Locations like the ones you have here would make sense too. I hope SE picks up on these ideas....

EDIT:

Here is the thread I made a while back about estate/inn bookshelves and newspapers

and your examples inspired me to make a few more for the news papers, because I think the ideas work well together both being web based content available in the game in some form:

Hardly, the PS3 has USB-native support. There's no excuse in this day-'n'-age for any PS3 user not to have a keyboard, period. (I'd say the same of Xbox 360 users, but whatever.)

That said, Rina's just being an idiot anyways.
