I hope these rumors are to be true. Fans have been eagerly waiting for a long time. I would imagine their appetite for the game growing ever so more.

Abriael3939d ago

Actually I hope it's not lol. August the 17th means that we'll get about 3-4 days of open beta before early access.

ashiksorel3939d ago

Hmm. I suppose. Though I guess I might be speaking for the players want the official release quickly.

But more time for Open Beta would be a nice thing. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

Crystallis3939d ago

I'm being selfish but I hope its Aug 17th LOL. I'll be out of town the 8th-11th of Aug.

ajames3473939d ago

I'm like half and half. An actual date would be great at this point but August 17th is rather late. It wouldn't give us much time with the open beta.

Lavalamp3939d ago

I'm really hoping this isn't the case. It would be so much more preferable if it was right on the heels of the next live letter.

Abriael3939d ago

Yeah same, it seems to be extremely short.

NegativeCreepWA3939d ago

Phase 4 is suppose to start the 9th from what I've heard.

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.

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

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

Eidolon40d 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

Aphrodia40d 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

NOMATICENIGMA40d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA40d 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.

CrimsonWing6940d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA40d 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.

CrimsonWing6940d ago

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