Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Focuses on PS3, First Expansion Teased

FFXIV currently focuses on PS3, according to the producer Q&A. But that's not a big deal because PS3 still have years of life. What will interest players is the housing system, which is scheduled to release in the first major update after launch. Specifically, Free Company housing and individual housing are the same basically. Although the housing system won't be available at launch, the new class Summoner will be.

yeah, yeah...thats all well and good but.....make it subscreption free and then well talk.

btw if I had time for this, I would have time for Guild Wars 2. and I LOVE GW2! Make it worth my while and I might care.

CatXFlash4071d ago

Why focus on MMOs? FFS mmos? get this get that please I am a lazy NPC... defuq and people pay for that? LOL

knifefight4071d ago

"Why focus on MMOs?
...people pay for that?"

You answered your own question.

CatXFlash4071d ago

true.. but why pay for that? ..free mmos... that was my point but yeah who cares about FFXiv anyways. moving on!

Lifebanisher4071d ago

make it free no monthly subscriptions add micro transactions and then im in.

C-Thunder4071d ago

I'd like to see an MMO some day, released with the cost up front, maybe $100 or so, then expansions every 6 months to a year that would be priced at whatever their worth, $50ish maybe.

I feel like subscriptions turn a lot of people off of new MMO's and microtransactions all feel like pay to win.

Maybe the game won't start as huge, but as long as those expansions start rolling in, I think they'd have a good shot at maintaining a large userbase.

The Xbox profanity filter is currently ruining the readability of the FFXIV chat on Xbox Series X/S due to censored words.

Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.

gold_drake17d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon15d ago

it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape

Aphrodia16d ago

Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA16d ago

This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.

NOMATICENIGMA16d ago

You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.

CrimsonWing6916d ago

Geezus, Xbox, you get gifted gold and still f*ck things up.

NOMATICENIGMA16d ago

It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.

CrimsonWing6916d ago

Does this affect PC and PS4/PS5 users, too? Or is it only happening on Xbox?
