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.

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.

You can't prove anything!

Do you accept checks?
