So very happy for this. I'll be getting back on in an hour here. I've loved it so far, and will definitely be picking the game up to give it a full month's try.

I've been signed up for the beta for ages for both ps3 and pc to increase my odds but they just don't like me. Looks like I won't be playing it till its official release.

Snookies123936d ago

No no, the Phase 4 beta starts before the actual game releases. Which is open beta, and all character data will transfer to the full game form that. :]

Unlike this phase, where your characters get deleted.

Your unlucky a friend of mine managed to get 8 codes. Sad thing is one his friends ended up using 2 of his 8 because they botched the registration process :/. Talk about bastards

@snookies12

Ahh good to know, looking forward to it. *helpful bubble added*

Zichu3936d ago

I am so disappointed I didn't get into the PS3 Beta. I managed to get into an earlier Beta or Alpha for the PC, I can't remember and it was really enjoyable.

Even though I already have this for the PC, I will most likely get it for the PS3 as well. This will give me the option to pick which platform to play it and carry on from where I left off just in case a family member decides to go on my PC or PS3.

Tony-Red-Grave3936d ago

Is it just me or does FFVIV remind anyone else of SAO O_o

Firan3936d ago (Edited 3936d ago )

No? Except that it's an MMORPG.

Jurat3936d ago (Edited 3936d ago )

I have really enjoyed the Beta so far.

Playing on both platforms, but I'm genuinely blown away by how well the PS3 handles such a full-on RPG experience.

I play with Dualshock and wirelss mouse / keyboard combo on the couch. Works seamlessly.

Won't put too much effort into Phase3 though if they're wiping char data.

I've received a beta code but cant play because its a pc code and I play ps3 I'm just waiting till phase 4..... Can't wait!!!

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_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.

TheGamingHounds16d ago

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

Eidolon16d 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?
