Hi I just wanted to talk about keyboard support for the chat on console. I play on Xbox and yes the keyboard is supported to type in your chat but you need to open the Xbox keyboard then type in your message with your keyboard press enter and then have to press x on your controller to send the message. It would be nice to be able to streamline this so you can type directly when you open chat and send your message when you press enter
Thanks
Even if it is never enabled for controls, it really needs to be for chat. The current console chat is BEYOND clunky. I’m not even sure chat works for console players or is cross platform since I never see anything in it.
Im so used to it i even type fast as if im texting so i never noticed it needed one
Can we get a bump on this? I love this idea and was going to post it myself. I have my bluetooth keyboard on the PS5 and that would be perfect to communicate with pc players… Please!
BUMP!!!
Entering the chat and sending via Keyboard is mandatory! Possible for years in other games.
They should 100% have a voice to text option. Like, isn’t it the year 2023? AI and everything, should be so easy to add that in game… Screw a keyboard, I want instant talk to text and I want people to see it over my head so they know I am talking…
Please add this into the game… PS5 player here. I use my wireless keyboard, i Just want to be able to hit - ENTER - and start chatting like PC. Also, please add gold to be able to type in please.
Guess what, FFXIV came out on Xbox this week and text chat is perfect. As if it wasn’t already on PS5 all these years.
FFXIV has full m&k support on xbox not just for chat either.
100% - please improve the keyboard chat experience!
Would be nice to make some fun or chat a bit while waiting for a world boss. I think local is the right channel. I play the game on pc with xbox controller. But so far noone reacted to what i typed at the boss in channel. And about the spinning movement i think most of the players there are console players.
I e posted this before and been flamed for it glad to see it finally getting more people out here talking. Yes we need keyboard support and even mouse support on console for things like inventory management. You even see it bug out sometimes and show the cursor. So it’s obviously there and disabled. We need chat support. We need to be able to quickly type to our groups on cross play. And a mouse to actually organize inventory would be amazing.
