Square Enix, youre saying that your reason behind not including voice-chat is because theres not much of a demand for it, and you'd be willing to include it if there was enough demand. Well, here's hoping.

I would like you to do a survey of your current Windows FFXI players, and ask what percentage of them uses a voice-communication program, and what region they are from. Id be willing to guess at least half of everyone that plays FFXI in America or Europe uses voice-chat.

Obviously, this wont be a problem with Windows; rather, this will be a problem on the PlayStation 3, as we dont have the accessibility to one of these programs.

This game is going to be popular outside of Japan, Square Enix... You need to appeal to the other gamers that will be purchasing this game. We, in America and Europe, like to talk while playing our games, even MMOs. Look at Phantasy Star Universe, and FFXI on the Xbox 360. While there isn't built-in voice-chat in FFXI on the Xbox, often people group-up in party-chats to communicate.

I know that this game is going to be played by people around the world, and that when different languages get thrown together; it usually doesnt work out well. Thats why you include the ability to filter players by region. With this, I can find a group of players I will be able to understand, party-up, and in the middle of a battle, instead of typing out some command, I can just announce it through my headset.

There is enough of a demand to include voice-chat on the PlayStation 3 version, you know it.

Please include voice-chat!

    • I may not have a ps3, however it will greatly enable ps3 users to communicate with PC users. PC users will undoubtably end up using some form of voice chat, whether it be ventrillo, or teamspeak, or whatever. PS3 users will not be able to access downloadable voice chat software and thus might become singled out in grouping since they will not have voice chat software.

    • Being a macintosh user and a playstation 3 advocate, my options are to only play the game on ps3. This is not a problem, however, since I love the console. But an in-game voice chat would be great; it would be a lot easier than having to hook up a ventrillo with other players.

    • A Playstation 3 MMO without voice-chat is blatantly illogical. Communication with others is a detrimental asset to any online game and with the poor text communication on the platform, voice-chat will be a necessity.

    • I played FFXI when it first came out in the USA so long ago and I was not very good at typing an trying to explain things to my friends or my party I was with. But everyone get that one Newb that can't get with the program in there group so added the voice-chat would really help move everyone along even if not everyone could chat with one another..

    • Voice communication should have already been high on the agenda of gameplay tweaks for the Playstation 3. Currently, there is no way to communicate with other players whilst mid-game on the PS3 other than text chats, which are unconventional in the middle of a heated battle. Furthermore, using a combination of a Keyboard and the Dualshock Controller to communicate, as well as play, will prove to be a hinderance to both the players themselves and the parties they are in. Square-Enix, you simply MUST add voice communication support for at least the Playstation 3 users, otherwise I WILL NOT be purchasing your product.

    • Voice chat is a great way to include people and for them to communicate in an online game and create a community as great as WOW.

    • Voice chat is a very logical evolution of a strictly text based game.
