Today at 2 AM Pacific time the open beta of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn started, at least for those that fulfilled one of more of the conditions for early entrance to the testing, while Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida issued a small challenge.

Time to make them characters!! I look forward to the future of this game with future content as well.

Abriael3898d ago

That's if your server of choice is open :D

ScubbaSteve3898d ago

My friend had to keep reloading the server list till he could join my server but he eventually got in.

ajames3473898d ago

Me too! I can't wait to see what kind of future content we'll get.

Abriael3898d ago

First thing is gonna be the Crystal tower, raid zone. Can't wait for that.

Keith Olbermann3898d ago

Preordered ps3 version from amazon. Cant wait. Gonna get ps4 version when that is released.

HammadTheBeast3898d ago

I wish it didn't have the sub fee, I like the game from what I've played in the past 2 weeks beta, but I don't think I can put in the effort or time to justify the monthly sub. They'd get way more sales with a standard fee.

greyhaven333898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

I personally don't have a problem paying what basically amounts to 40 something cents a day for something I enjoy. I am happy it's not f2p or p2p

Blasphemy3898d ago

I just started but I can already tell the game is soooo much better then it was then when it first came out. They actually have a real tutorial now LOL.

Are people on PS3 able to play with people on PC or is ps3 players only going to be with ps3 players and pc with pc?

Abriael3898d ago

yep, it's cross platform, PS4 too when it'll be released next year. Everyone's on the same servers.

Goldenarmz3898d ago

Sweet! one of my friends is getting it for PC but i kinda wanna get it for PS3 instead. So well still be able to play together.

Biggest3898d ago

You seem to be up on the news, Abriael.

Was I correct in thinking that characters used from beta 1-3 would be erased? Is that for new characters only?

I ask because my legacy character is still lvl50 with all its worn gear. I'd love to keep my guy, but I don't want to get my hopes up only to have them dashed in a few weeks.

Jikla3897d ago

@biggest. You keep your legacy character at release I'm sure of that. But I think I've read that if everything goes as planned you will keep your beta char at early release.

Biggest3897d ago

Much appreciated, Jikla.

Give a /wave if you run past Biggest on the Hyperion server.

crazyeightz3898d ago

Saw a lot of news about this game lately. I might be interested in trying but before I do, is there any subscription based fee to play it?

Bhuahahaha3898d ago

yeah i really want to play this one too. but that 13 bucks +$60 or 40 for the game is to much for me already. yup $13 isnt a big deal but add it up to several other monthly bills will really gonna hurt my wallet.

AirJohnston3898d ago

I got an email a few weeks ago saying I got accepted into the PS3 beta and they said they would send me a message when it goes up, but I haven't gotten anything from them since.

Abriael3898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

If the mail was really acceptance, it should have included a link for you to register and the relevant codes. Otherwise it wasn't acceptance, but just proof of registration.

Tomorrow's gonna be open for everyone anyway.

Reborn3898d ago

So tomorrow, a DL will be on PSN store, for all? I got the promotion code, currently playing it, but I wanted to know for those who didn't get a promotion code.

Thanks.

AirJohnston3897d ago

Yeah I just found it yesterday, unfortunately I'm visiting my brother until Monday so I don't even know if I'll be able to play it............................ .........

dcj05243898d ago

Stop teasing me );. I have to cancle my pre-order because $13 a month is too much. Dom you Square. This was my most anticipated game.

Kyosuke_Sanada3898d ago

Troll much, most of the recent articles about Final Fantasy have you saying the same thing.

Can't pay the fine then you won't enjoy the time.....

dcj05243898d ago

Yeah. I'm a troll because I'm sad I can't afford the monthly fee of one of my most wanted games. I think I commented on 1 other one saying the same thing. To each their own. Have a nice day.

modesign3897d ago

Explain planet side 2. Free memo that is one of the greatest looking MMOs

worldwidegaming3898d ago

Just pay for a few months. Or just a month. Who says you need to pay every month! Enjoy life while you can!

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.

Snookies1216d ago

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'?

RedDevils14d ago

*insert gift*
"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

DivineHand12515d 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.

15d ago
TheGamingHounds15d ago

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

Eidolon15d 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.

shinoff218315d ago

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?
