PC players may have had a good experience, they may have thought the developers fulfilled their promise but I don’t care as I was waiting for the PS3 version. So imagine the excitement shared by thousands as Square Enix released a ton of closed beta keys over the weekend. I got home Sunday evening after a day with the family and was met with that such surprise in my email inbox.
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.
They didn't send you a key with two hours remaining. They sent you a key with almost the full phase 3 and phase 4 remaining. The fact that you missed the first weekend opf a much longer beta means nothing in comparison.
This excuse for an "Article", which is in fact just an irrational rant, is based on a false and misleading standpoint in order to stir controversy.
wtf is this article...your personal whinings are none of square's fault..
for someone who really want to know SE has done an amazing job with ps3 port
0 lags ...0 fps dops and looks gorgeous
you didn't miss out on anything , the games alright nothing innovative clone of alot of the mmos already out there but in this game the character creation is great , music is awesome , the game-play is boring the global cooldown on spells downtime is higher than in most mmo styled games , each zone can run out of in less than 60 seconds one end to the other , and they want to charge prices the same as WoW ? wow never even had the starting price of $15-m until there game was further developed if this game was $60 at the gate and $5 a month id subscribe as a fan of SE but this isn't impressive at all , if your bored of WoW this will do the trick until you realize how much it falls short of expectations
i was wondering wtf was going on. I got the beta key this morning. I go to sign up. fallowed the steps just to be told oh you need a big long registering key they were "supposed" to send to me.. now i read the article and the F'n thing isnt even running. F U squeenix
Be happy you got a key in the first place! and any downtime is scheduled anyways! i got the key on friday night. i didn't check my e-mail till saturday, oh well i missed a day of the beta, still i know to check the forums and the updates. i know that is all planned, and that its a beta and ppl will get back into it soon enough. lol, bet there will be another article complaining once yer phase 3 character get deleted and all as well.
Anyways it looks and plays great on the ps3, i'm happy its even on the system at all! my only problem is "information overload!"
