Infobarrel - Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Review

Final Fantasy XIV was a Final Fantasy based MMO by Square Enix that released in 2010. However, upon its launch, it had several major problems that made it unplayable for most people and causing it to be the worst disaster in Final Fantasy history. Square Enix realized that major changes needed to be made, so they ended what is now referred to as Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 in November 2012, by dropping a giant Bahamat filled moon on the world. Now in August 2013, Final Fantasy XIV is back anew in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Someone seriously reviewed a MMORPG on the day of its launch? Please do get a grip...

I'm not reporting this as lame just out of pity.

cyguration3887d ago

THIS!

I was about to make the EXACT same comment.

WTF? And how the heck does someone review an entire MMORPG in time to get a review out on the day of release and score it a 4.5 out of 5? SERIOUSLY?!

Gaem Jurnol1zm at its finest.

maximus19853887d ago

while i agree i kinda want SOME kind of review since the game has been out since saturday (early access) so yeah. Infact being a newbee with 4 days in id say its a great mmo but honestly its my first so what do i know. I just know i like it so far and im looking forward to finding more finalfantasy elements from the previous numbers.

Bhuahahaha3887d ago

lol nowadays its very common that most reviewer do this on 1-2hrs of their gameplay on every game

FamilyGuy3886d ago

N4G needs to fix the rating system on the site. It's combining ARR with the original FF14 when ARR is practically an all new game in comparison.

I guess it is just an expansion so it's destined carry those negative reviews.

his level is 31 so he probably seen the game enough i know that the MMOs need time to learn and explore everything but the reviewers, review the "bases only" not every aspect of the game

XishikiX3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

I do think it's a bit hard to give an MMO review score that quickly. Currently, like most MMO's that are more popular it's having some technical difficulties. These issues have a 99% chance of getting fixed. But until they do in a timely manner I can't imagine anyone giving a score to it much less a 9/10.

I've probably played it 20 hours between the alpha and prelaunch. It's a good MMO thus far with FF style, great art design, and great music. How good or bad is it, I do not know, I will still probably get bored with it like I have every MMO fairly quickly, but it's been fun.

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'?

RedDevils15d ago

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

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.

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

Aphrodia16d 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

NOMATICENIGMA16d 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.

CrimsonWing6916d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA16d 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?
