Reportedly Square Enix is demanding the gaming press hold off publishing any reviews of Final Fantasy XIV until a month after the game’s release; unfortunately, players seem to have jumped the gun and are publishing their own less than favourable opinions of the game.

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.
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.
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.
Why does this not surprise me ?? anything SquareEnix make is rubbish so why should this game be any different.
Just resign Wada FFS!! you have driven the brand of SquareEnix into the ground
i'm actually enjoying ffxiv.. its a nice upgrade from ffxi.. needs work but most mmo's get better over time..
wada should still resign..
Oh square... look how far you have fallen.
Why? Because when it tanks, and it will, people will realise as with FFXIII, x360 had nothing to do with it's "failure"
Look. When you release a game, it has to be emersive from the start, not when you are half way through playing it. (Yes I know its an MMO)
Besides, players won't listen so theres no point in trying.
