What Sexual Themes? Does it even exist? The game is so conservative, even a preschooler can play it.

Does the breast slider makes the breast bigger than average woman? Does it even have breast physics? FFXIV:ARR doesn't have sexual themes at all.

Well... The cat race (Miqote or something? Forget how to spell their name.) of girls has a very short skirt. So much so that you're practically able to see her underwear with just the default camera angle when she's walking around. Not to mention, there could be more sexual themes tied to the story or something later on in the game, who knows.

Firan3945d ago (Edited 3945d ago )

Even the 1.0 had very suggestive themes. One companion NPC pretty much said she slept with her informant to get his info and more.

Miner's guild had those lesbian prostitute dancers:

"I'd be happy to take your arm, and more, for a time. You deserve a proper welcome to Ul'dah, fair lady that you are. I can please you as well as any man. Though from the looks of it, you don't have the coin. A shame, that."

I also remember someone saying a pirate in Limsa threatens to rape a character.

So yes there definitely is sexual themes.

It actually does have breast physics you can tell when your sprinting and the creators said it themselves.

knifefight3945d ago

So they've been reading my private chats, eh?

Cuss words ARE in the game, and you can turn the language filter OFF so that you can see and type them. Not to mention, some of the story plots and cutscenes have cussing in them...so I can understand the "language" rating.

However, there are NO sexual themes in the game. No naked avatars. No sex scenes. No raping. No flirting or ass grabbing. So...I dont know wtf theyre talking about, there.

Personally, I dont care what it's rated. Im still buying it.

vakarian753945d ago

Cursing the game has curse words in it.

Lucreto3945d ago

The server I was in I thought was a nudist server. Most of the people were going around only wearing underwear.

Shad0wRunner3945d ago

Only wearing underwear, does not equal = nudity.

Xbox Profanity Filter Is Ruining the FFXIV Chat

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_drake22d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

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

RedDevils21d ago

*insert gift*
"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

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.

TheGamingHounds21d ago

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

Eidolon21d 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

Aphrodia22d 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

NOMATICENIGMA21d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA21d 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.

CrimsonWing6921d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA21d 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.

CrimsonWing6921d ago

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