The mind boggling prices of housing in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn‘s recently implemented patch “A Realm Awoken,” stirred a wave of malcontent and criticism across the community, and between yesterday and today Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida issued two responses to try and calm the storm.

Well, it seems they have actually put a lot of tought into this. Let´s see if it works, but at least we can rest assured that there is reasoning behind the process, and it can be altered if need arise.

i can see them having huge prices but the online monthly fee all that crap should be free. Im trying not to get into this game until they end the fee, i know im dreaming, but i was shocked when i realized how good this game was, now when it comes to the ps4 version, i might change my tune, the face there isn't any voice chat on the ps3 really pissed me off.

I don't expect them to ever end the subscription for the game. Final Fantasy 11 is going like around 10 years strong with a good amount people buying expansions and paying the sub. FF 14 seems to be just as well now with the relaunch. Plus the people that do sub are passionate about keeping the sub to ensure no dip in quality.

I find it funny to see the complaints with this. Anyone who's put any time in FF11 knows this is what they do. Make things as hard as possible and keep you paying. Drop rates, lockouts and the ever so friendly non-english speaking players. A shame cause 14 seems to be good but nothing has changed in that regard.

Abriael3783d ago

Ahem, in FF11 housing was 100% free.

Reibooi3783d ago

it was but really it really wasen't housing as much as it was a single room with a moogle in it o.o

il-JumperMT3782d ago

Lol at people complaining about housing, while I am here wiping on Twintania and Extreme Primals :|

PurpHerbison3782d ago

I hope the prices stay high. I like a grindy MMORPG.

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_drake24d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

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

Eidolon23d 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

Aphrodia23d 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

NOMATICENIGMA23d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA23d 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.

CrimsonWing6923d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA23d 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.

CrimsonWing6923d ago

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