I really wish I got a beta, this game really looks awesome, it actually feels like a Final Fantasy game now.

Celeras3953d ago

Don't sweat it. While it may LOOK like a Final Fantasy game now, apparently three years, local datacenters, and a relaunch wasn't long enough for the developers to figure out how to fix the games lag.

There was some problems last week which is understandable since it was the first time they used NA/EU servers. Plus it's a beta what do you expect? A demo that has no bugs?

Celeras3953d ago

That might be an acceptable answer if the original version of the game didn't have the same exact problem for years of its horrible launch.

Anyone who thinks they're capable of fixing this is just delusional at this point.

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_drake16d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

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

Eidolon14d 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

Aphrodia15d 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

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

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