Although this most likely will not happen before the release date, would consider making a MF Mumble server? In case you do not know, Mumble is a program used to to talk with other users on the same Mumble server (also known as a murmur server). I a user would need to do is provide the IP and a password to be able to talk with everyone on the server. For MF, this could allow for a better Roleplaying experience, allowing users to speak as their characters.

Interesting idea. Voice would be a nice addition. It would give players more options. If we do endorse a voice server, it will not be Mumble - that one feels like it doesn't excel at anything. We are using Discord internally at the moment. It's been working well for us and I don't see the team moving to anything else. Perhaps we could set up a public Discord server for the community.
This idea would actually help my character immensley, since I really can't type in a japanese, or give the accent at least! So, I'd really love to see this happen!
