Yesterday saw the beginning of the much anticipated phase three of the beta of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and looking at the official forums and twitter quite a few still didn’t receive the coveted invite (and boy, they aren’t happy).
In order to help those that still didn’t receive that mail feel better, or maybe to torture them a little bit (depending on the point of view), Here are 676 screenshots directly from the beta.
Final Fantasy XIV fans can now properly benchmark their PCs and check out some of what's coming to their game this summer.

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.
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
it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lovely textures on the screenshots.
I hope it turn out to be a good game.. I really want a new FF game & i hate 13.. I havent enjoyed a FF game since 12
I was left out of beta, and I think this one might be the last one, so (im)patiently waiting for august 27! I've been waiting this for years (maybe the longest I've ever waited for a game so far), and I'm tired of it. This release just can't come soon enough!
I want Archeage.
Well it looks great for a open-world game that was first intended for higher spec'd PC's(ran pretty well on my 1120/3000 OC 650m 1GB GDDR5 i7 3610qm 3.1GHZ locked laptop, though). excited about the new engine and interface revisions, can't wait find the time to play later.
