Make the addressee of a voicecommand choose the language of said command, not the sender. Thank you very much.

No, they still get text in their own language. If my Japanese voices get taken away...<words about wrath, doom, and tentacles, too extreme to be left visible go here>!!!

As long as this doesn't change, I agree with...

And I don't even remember enough of my 4 years of studying Japanese to figure out what they're saying most of the time anyway. And I don't use the Japanese speech option. My character speaks English, but I like hearing that little bit of added diversity from the players who do use voice commands.

yeah I have a love/hate relationship with this suggestion. it's better functionally to have it spoken in whatever language the listener is native to, yes. but there is at least the text, and I honestly prefer the diversity over the functionality.
I never thought I would type that I have a preference of anything over functionality @.@

EDIT: would be a thing if the addressee had an option to hear it in only their native language or in the language the speaker chose. though, I'm probably asking too much XD

I agree on both counts.
This would be great if it's practical to implement, but it probably isn't. Here's hoping we're wrong on the second part.

^This. Can we haz Muse, pls? :3 Also, I would like a Scot one as well. :P

For me audio code is priority, and I'd love to hear audio signals in English. English isn't a native language for me (as for I think 60% of community?) and it was quite hard to get used to react on english commands, and I don't feel like learning another foreign language to keep playing the game. So I am totally for this idea.
-
I'm fairly sure I've used voice chat more in the two days of realizing I could give commands in Japanese than I have throughout the rest of having voice commands.
And its for no valid reason.
You should probably take away my ability to do so for my own good.
-
Voice commands are also accompanied by a visual identifier, right?

Which is not really noticeable.
Audial >>> Visual
I once misheard the voice signal, thinking it was english, but it was japanese and I ran to different direction

Ah, thats because japan is on the other side of the world, so their directions are backwards. Similar to how up is down in australia.

I think the japanese voices are neat but as I am certain 99% (I'm willing to put money down on 100% as well) of our players do not speak japanese, I think an option to have voices play in your language certainly wouldn't hurt anyone.
Though the idea of people having babelfish in their ears is humorous to me.

While I'm sure that the Japanese community welcomed these signals (as did many other people who had fun with them during the first week or so :D) I still think that a game which is based so heavily on communication and cooperation should support the use of one single shared language rather than a set of different languages, even in case of voice commands. Probably the original idea was that different nations would use these commands only among themselves, but in fact nobody will ever bother to change them to English once they get into a public match.
If you guys start adding more languages to the current list, it's gonna get awfully confusing. And yep, the English transcription at the bottom of the screen doesnt always help, since one of the main points of the voice command is that you do not need to look at chat to know what is going on (sure, the symbols give a clue, but again you do not always have the luxury of looking at them in tense moments).
-
Agree with Andika. There is no reason to have "voice commands" then, if you're making excuses like "hey, it's there in the chat as well".
Would you rather communicate in chat over teamspeak as well? Voice commands are faster and you don't have to shift focus to chat while in combat.
-
I can't believe this actually turned into a discussion.
-
You know that big symbols with arrows also appear on the screen, right?

Oddly, I managed to forget about this until you mentioned it.
I wouldn't object to the symbols showing up for at least a moment longer than they do at present. They fade just a little too fast for someone with merely quick and not instant recognition of the symbol.

I have to admit I'm one of the offenders using the Japanese voices for no reason other than I like them and think they sound cute. I don't know a lick of Japanese.
Then again, if I have something important to say, I use actual voice chat to say it. V-commands are reserved for things like "I'm getting on aft guns!" on a pyramidion. :P

I have a tendency to call "Man the port guns!" when i can grab the helm of a Squid, and "Man the fore guns!" on my Galleon for no reason other than to annoy one friend who's always on the ship when I do it.
He seems not to have noticed that when I give ACTUAL orders, it's over proper voice chat...
