Final Fantasy XIV Online Voice-Chat

To:  Square Enix

Square Enix, you’re saying that your reason behind not including voice-chat is because there’s 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. I’d be willing to guess at least half of everyone that plays FFXI in America or Europe uses voice-chat.

Obviously, this won’t be a problem with Windows; rather, this will be a problem on the PlayStation 3, as we don’t 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 doesn’t work out well. That’s 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!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
