In addition to that a new screenshot shows new UI systems.

The artwork keeps getting better and better.

Abriael3997d ago

Well, it's pretty much the same I would say, at least quality-wise, though the black mage AF is one of my favorites.

Crystallis3997d ago

You have all the AF gear for black mage in Reborn Abriael?

Abriael3997d ago

@Crystallis yep :D I have the full sets for BLM and PLD

Crystallis3997d ago

I know nothing has been announced yet but with the re-branding/name change what are the chances of a 360 version being in the cards?

It was originally announced by Jack Trenton himself that FF14 was console exclusive to the PS3 but that was years ago and under the title of FF14 Online, not FF14:A realm Reborn

It never got its PS3 release and now we're waiting on ARR, I'm pretty sure it's still exclusive but with the re-branding what's stopping them from changing their minds about it if Microsoft made an offer?

Just random thoughts, been waiting years for this freakin game -_-

Abriael3997d ago

360, I seriously doubt it, the console is at the end of its life. 720 maaaaybe but the possibility is very slight. The reason why the game wasn't on 360 to begin with were the policies of Xbox live, and I doubt those are gonna change.

FamilyGuy3997d ago

Oh right, I remember now, forgot all about that!
Something about how closed their online system was.

dendenmooshi3997d ago

Yea, it explains it in one of the links in the article.

"Everything seems to point to the fact that the game was never announced on the 360 was due to Xbox Live’s policies and those aren’t very likely to radically change with the next console that will be announced soon."

"It’s more likely that Microsoft Japan simply wants to push Windows 8 in the country"

You never know though

No more pictures!!! Give us a release date :)

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_drake23d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK22d ago (Edited 22d 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

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.

TheGamingHounds22d ago

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

Eidolon22d 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.

shinoff218322d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA22d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA22d 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.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA22d 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.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

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