Playing This Game(or Any) With Ventrilo Or Other Sound Systems Makes It Too Intimate.

lmao and for the dan hibiki show, starring dan hibiki featuring your guest, dan hibiki

Vent/Skype/Teamspeak are all good programs for voicechatting while on FFXI. And for those of you that say that its pointless... its not. You ever have the situation where you were spamming for a paralyna as a tank and it didn't hit you fast enough. What did that turn into? Probably a wipe. Now, you have to sit there and type it out the first time. If you just could have said Paralyna on a voicechat, if the mages were there, you could have lived and regained your momentum.

Now, I know that sounds extremely stupid, but typing ***out on the game can take longer for some people, especially those that use PS2 or XBox without a keyboard. So that timelapse is huge at major endgame events. As for social uses in this game, that is your personal decision. But for events, it makes things 5000x smoother, especially if you have everyone on the same page.

Now, if I could get on the vent of competing players and hear them get mad when I outclaim them on something, or beat them at something, ect, that'd be worth listening to.

But that's pretty unfair to the rest of the people in your LS. Being in the same LS you would think they would be treated as any equal member. Only keeping the vent info to sackholders and certain selected members is very disrespectful to the members that don't get to join your wonderful chit-chat.

But... that doesn't have to do anything with vent, that's how LS's roll.

Gohan SSJ2 vs. Cell was such a great fight.

However, Goku vs. Kid Buu is still my fav, just cause Kid Buu doesn't give a ***. DOESN'T GIVE. A ***.

But thank you Goku, I will eat this bean without hesitation without hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitationwithout hesitation

I'm a fan of Gotenks vs super Buu

Piccolo vs Android 17

I've also found that events are much easier when the people are on Teamspeak (which is what we use). Not to mention we used it for things talking during ff13 release, as well as for ppl that quit to pop on and see whats new with people in game without having to reinstall.

Tien's little spat vs Cell was pretty cool too

Android 17 is a raging ***. However in GT, he isn't bad.

Speaking of GT, does anyone else besides me rage that they made the SSJ3 transformation more dramatic than SSJ4? :( :( :(

from tweens venting on vent to DBZ...

vs.





Also the music for SSJ3 is *** awesome.

Japanese transformations were better for both scenes.

Your point is moot since you can't use voice chat on a PS2.



Voice chat can be useful but it only fuels more drama and always separates the LS into two groups. Those who have it and those who don't.

But Japanese versions have stupid songs ;;;;;;

yo yo im black and after years of oppression we hate being called ***, its racist, yet every other word i say is gonna be *** *** ***

Its OK bro. *** is TOTALLY legit.

Even though in movies, when a black dude says *** on the TV screen, in subtitles it comes out "***". I find it funny.

Long stroy short... we forgot killing the ninja Nm pops mobs after defeat...mages stuck on one side dead ppl on the other.

So i decided to kite them away on thf so mages could raise. Somehow i got distracted near the AH and the ppl on vent hear me saying "Ohh f*ck me i just spawned 7 smners and 3 more mnk mobs." All you hear on vent is everyone laughing.

Good times

Some of our members play on xbox or ps2

OP needs to take a walk outside and talk to real people. *** excuse is ***.

Huh, what?

I agree that live voice programs can make large group events more enjoyable by decreasing the stress of mass coordination. It really does decrease response time by others when the chat log is scrolling fast. I also agree with another poster that people shouldn't feel obligated to download and use the programs for more casual gaming time.

I tend to prefer Skype over vent for one very silly reason: I hate knowing that I or anyone else is pushing a button when we laugh just to have others know that we're laughing at something. Feels very forced to use push to talk to laugh at a joke. There is probably a way around that feature, I just found it more convenient to use Skype. (I am not saying one program is better than the other- I know there are strong feelings on this topic, I'm simply pointing out a feature I find annoying about Vent).

I don't even know anymore.

I do love using Skype though. I love hearing people's reactions to ***I send them. That, and ***'s really nice for getting out orders during missions/fights/etc.

I play FFXI on console so I don't use any sort of voice chat. But if I could you can be sure I would use it for LS events. Heck from what I understand on most other MMO's is almost mandatory for events. I play a lot of FPS's over Xbox. It drives me insane when people try to play a game like Left 4 Dead where communications is vital without a mic. So I can see where the pro voice chat people are coming from.

As for casual chatting while doing solo stuff or exp'ing. Probably not. I tend to listen to music or watch TV when doing stuff like that.

As for the people saying they don't wanna sound like nerds by using a voice chat. You're a nerd, embrace it. You'll feel a lot less nerdy about yourself if you just own up to it and lay it out there for anyone and everyone to see.

As for the people too afraid to shy. I'm genuinely concerned for you. To be so insecure with yourself to where you can't physically speak with people you have talked with in this game for weeks, months, or years is a bit frightening. It suggests a deliberate disconnect, a way to avoid seeing other players as actual people. Thus easier to talk to when they are just made up characters in a video game.

Back when I had a nyzul isle static we used to use skype on every run it made this go so much more smoothly

Some people play video games to escape reality the same way people do drugs and/or drink alcohol.

Using Skype or Vent for Nyzul is like using a game shark. Its awesome!

I only speak to My RL friends whilst playing the game, though I would speak to others whilst doing Nyzul and camping things etc.

The thing is that with Vent you don't have to hit a button to talk. Some people that play with alot of noise around them have the option to use it. I nomally use the sensitivity feature with vent most the times. I find that with Vent I get a better voice quality than I had with Skype. That might just be me though.
