IM PLAYIN takes a second look at the FF XIV beta, after having a few more days to give it a go.
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.
The PS4 version is friggin SWEET! I played the PS4 Beta, when it was live. The resolution is So much better at a full 1080p. Im pretty sure it's 60FPS too, aside from a few random cases...where it dips below 60. But yeah, MY experience was a blast. Everything was so fluid and smooth. No bugs, no errors, no disconnects. There was a time or two when I had some full servers and couldnt get in...but that's to be expected, really.
I felt like I was playing FFXIV on a PC at max settings. Excellent transition from PS3 to PS4. I cant wait for it to go live in April. This...and ESO will keep me busy, for a long time.
Yeah, if you havent tried FFXIV yet or participated in any of the Beta's and youre an MMO fan...youre really missing out. Pick it up and try it. It's pretty cheap and so is the sub.
