ARR and Voice over IP

Which program does it better for ps3? XD

"Use your smart phone / laptop" is not the answer btw lol (although maybe because of ps3 physical limitations there is no good answer, I know Sony didnt build one in because they are lamurs )

I think it would be useful (specially for ps3 players), but it would take them a bit to design one at least mildly on par with a popular PC alternative.

None, they can use a smartphone with the app installed, or a laptop/desktop nearby,.

a TON of devices now have skype/ts apps.

For my LS/FC, they don't have to talk, but they do have to listen.

Doesn't the PS3 have skype?

Reinhart says no.

Reinhart says no.

Probably it's harder to even get it or will never happen now that Microsoft bought out Skype. PSP and Vita has it, Vita probably was able to get it since it runs the same code as PSP.

No it doesnt, even if it did the PS3 wouldnt multitask it lol

The ps3 is a special child - powerful but special. (Have to learn its oddities to use it properly, which is the Xbox's benefit that its so usual and normalized).

SE needs a age to compete with other MMOs, just having the option to do the voice chat without the third party software would be great. I been frustrated of joinning parties for endgame content like dark-light gear parties and people not having the software ready. They don't need to talk but need to hear the commands from party leader.

All of the oh I don't have the software let me install it or I cannot connect what were the settings again? Plus PS3 players would really benefit from it. I bet they will get the voice chat requierd, oh you don't have it? Sorry cannot use you in the party. With having regional servers the bandwith is not going to be bad and it does not have to be ready by release but it would be a great improvement in the social and party aspect of the game.

benefit =/= problems, yes but Yoshi already stated why they wont do it, no matter how many time you say.

Is already been debated a lot of times now.

Quoting myself again, "Screw other MMOs, we're Final Fantasy"

If you having that kinda conversation while farming darklight, might as well get a static that already have one installed. Plus, PS3 players might already have smartphone to accommodate this

Says you. Not that I dont trust you, but additional bandwith is still additional bandwith. Not everyone have great connection. and please dont tell me to get myself a better connection

Actually, it's like saying, "get a smart phone"

More like go use your logic and get smart(phone)

Hows Ventrilo or TS on android anyways?? anyone tried it out?

Work like wonder. I dont have to worry that my shitty PC connection wont make it to the last corner

hmmm didn't PS3 have skype on?

[Reinheart]

hmmm didn't PS3 have skype on?

Wish it did, the PSP has it but not the PS3. Would be nice for me and my parents to communicate with video chat and have my kids talk via video.

Anyways for the official VOIP service in-game it's not going to happen per YoshiP so that's that. JP thread also talks about voice chat and I mentioned that it will give advantage over players who use vs who don't specially for stuff such as PvP or full alliance raids being implemented in ARR. Some JP players for one don't want their voices to be heard and don't want to break their image of their character...

Also I think on legal end it's going to be hard when there are disputes via voice since nothing is recorded and for SE to record all the conversation just in case some issue may arise is just additional cost they don't need at this time imo.

Most already uses skype, vent, ts, munba, etc services so just stay with those.

At later time when the VOIP users start taking over the PvP and other contents over none VOIP users then they may start thinking something but at this time it's just too much hassle for them imo.
