Edge:There is a formula at work in every MMOG. This is usually thought of from the developer’s perspective: the systems and structures a game uses to funnel a large number of people into a large amount of content and keep them there. The player’s side of the equation is subtler: what type of person do you need to be to settle on one MMOG as opposed to another? Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is one part traditional fantasy MMOG, one part Final Fantasy game. One part console, one part PC. To fit into its formula, you’ll need to fit that pattern as well.
Final Fantasy XIV fans can now properly benchmark their PCs and check out some of what's coming to their game this summer.

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.
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
it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape
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.
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.
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.
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.
Edge, how dare You?!
I enjoy this game, they are morons :), but i guess it's only opinion.
Do they mention the endgame? Because it's awful. I loved the game until I hit 50.

Despite Final Fantasy XI being a horrible grind fest, it's still Square's most profitable title ever. And the Final Fantasy guys loved it despite sneering at other MMOs, because chocobos.
"There will always be people for whom levelling a White Mage means more than levelling a wizard, for whom the Prelude arpeggio isn’t just main menu music. If that’s you, and you like what the MMOG genre brings to the table, then Final Fantasy XIV promises to last much longer. After all, you fit the formula."
If that's you, 10/10. Edge nails it.
Edge demonstrates once more that they have absolutely no idea on how to review a game.
