    I would love to see actual chat channels implemented where feasible in FFXIV. The /say /yell /shout setup just isn't sufficient. I realize the game is heavily instanced in places, but having a few default chat channels like general or trade in places like cities would be nice. What are your thoughts?

    I agree, and would think that anything fostering more communication woudl be a positive. I can imagine a couple of bumps along the road but certainly something that can be done.

    Of course that would be a good idea, player communication within the game is always a good idea to make it more interactive.

    I agree that it would be a good idea but it will take a long time.

    Never really thought about the time that it might take, both to set up and then to perfect it to where translations and all of that can happen. Makes me more curious, but also a little less hopeful.

    If they somehow integrate it this feature it would be awesome.

    If the feature itself isn't really that difficult so fingers crossed.

    Fingers crossed is right and the more I think about it the more it is entirely possible to me, but then I start to think about the money and that makes me more nervous.

    One day we are hoping it will happen. Let's keep anticipating.

    That's the only thing we can do for now.

    Well now I am going back and forth between hope and disappointment. If history is any indicator, though, disappointment usually wins out.

    The key is to just hope and not expect so that people won't get disappointed.

    It's hard to not get your hopes up as it helps with the waiting

    Yes, but it's just a game though, I assume that people aren't that "emotionally invested" in a game.

    It's a good idea, as long as there wont be any bots.
