I am confused on this information, does anyone know if communications will be possible at all?
I would imagine that you could talk to your teammates or, at least, with those in your friendlist.
It will be a shame if this function is missing, then again, Nintendo doesn't seem to like when people talk to strangers.

The exact wording of the translation we got was that there wouldn't be voice chat between matched players. It didn't say anything about voice chat between friends, and it's possible something about that was lost in translation. So it's ambiguous for all of us right now.
I've also heard talk of a mumble server going up if chat proves to be an issue.

I HOPE that we have at least friend chat in game. That way I can at least talk and stratigize with them. It would make me extremely upset if again we can't talk online.

No voice chat in random matchmaking is okay, not ideal but okay. Having the option is always nice. But it's pretty obvious that it's in line with Nintendo's online play policies of trying to avoid little kids getting flamed by slur-swinging racists and homophobes on the other end of the mic.
As long as the game has voice chat with friends, that's okay. Lobby voice chat and in-game voice chat really needs to happen - if it's one or the other, that'd be a huge letdown.

Just going by precedent, it'll probably only have lobby chat. They've never done in-game voice chat yet for any 1st party titles.

At this point, I think I'm going to host a Mumble server(s) even if some form of voice chat is included, just to ensure high quality communications for players.

Yeah, it's a client that you use to connect to a server. Of course, there isn't one for Splatoon right now, but when there is, there will be information available for people to access the server and its individual rooms.

My guess is that it will function like MK8 with pre-picked phrases in random lobbies and voicechat in friend rooms. I'm hoping for voice chat in tournaments as well but we'll see.
No voice chat wouldn't be that big a deal for me since skype is a thing.
