do we have to redownload?
the old one doesnt seem to be working

Abriael3912d ago (Edited 3912d ago )

yeah, they confirmed that the old one won't work. You have to uninstall that and redownload.

It's a completely new client.

vishmarx3912d ago

looks more or less like the final client then...hmmm
i wonder if i actually get a ps3 copy and use the same account on this very client then i can have thm both?
naah nobody's that naive

Abriael3912d ago

I don't think you can play on PC if you get only a PS3 copy...

Baka-akaB3912d ago (Edited 3912d ago )

You can absolutely use the same account and characters.

But you do need a copy for each to do so. And you cannot be logged into the same account on both systems at the same time

This is one of the few cases i'd avise to just pirate an installation (and then use a legit account) on pc ... if they dont make the pc version freely accessible of course

How long is this Beta going to last ?

Baka-akaB3912d ago

A pity the ps3 client will be later . it will probably be huge and psn aint the quickest to download those

Abriael3912d ago

well, for the previous beta it was about 10 gigs and took me 4 hours (and I just have a DSL), this one will be 20, so it'll take more or less twice as that.

Iceman X3912d ago

The previous beta was only 4 gb it recommended you have 10 for the game.

Woah glad i caught this, will get new one now :X

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

"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?
