It's tempting, even after the launch issues.

Abriael3873d ago

eh, the game itself is fantastic. Never judge a MMORPG from launch issues really.

Carheadbutt3873d ago

I disagree launch issues show how prepared they are, and how committed to CS they are.

Magicite3873d ago

Totally agree, it was worth all the troubles. Playing on EU Phoenix realm and its crowded and I like that.

Dagobert3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

@carheadbutt World of Warcraft had a lot of issues when it first launched. Look how successful it turned out. Pretty much most MMO's have some launch issues. Either way, the game is amazing.

ajames3473873d ago

The launch issues are mostly gone now (I couldn't even play the game because of them) and now FFXIV plays very smoothly.

Carheadbutt3873d ago

yeah...I'm probably going to end up getting it. Thanks.

Caffo013872d ago

Launch issues are fixed.
Anyway i have 1 spare cdkey for Europe if anyone is interested.

Stsonic3873d ago

I loved the beta and bought the game but am yet to redeem my code. This is nothing against the game but I think MMORPG's are not for me. It would be taking all my time and I would leave others games behind.

STK0263873d ago

One day before GTA5, I wonder if this will affect FF14's sales. The game looks good, and I was very tempted to buy it after launch when a couple of friends picked it up, but was unable buy the digital version. But with GTA5 coming out tomorrow, not sure I'll pick it up afterall.

allgamespc20123873d ago

its a completely diff crowd, i for one dont even think of getting gta, most overrated overhyped game of all times. illw ait for pc version on that, in the meanwhile, ffxiv is a lot of fun and taking up my time.

SythMoi3872d ago

I few of us got our refunds and now we can spend it again YAY !!!

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_drake22d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

RedDevils20d 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.

TheGamingHounds21d ago

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

Eidolon21d 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

Aphrodia21d 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.

shinoff218321d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA21d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA21d 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.

CrimsonWing6921d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA21d 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.

CrimsonWing6921d ago

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