YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!! YES YES

thekhurg3764d ago

Totally agree. I haven't had the chance to play this game but will absolutely jump on this beta to experience how it plays on the PS4.

All I need is hands on confirmation that the gameplay is fun and that the controls work and I'll be a subscriber when it launches.

raWfodog3764d ago

Now with news like this and more than enough advance notice, you would hope that Sony ensures that the servers, and PSN in general, will be able to handle a very significantly high number of "beta testers", as in ALL of them. We'll see...

NegativeCreepWA3764d ago

Sony will have nothing to do with the servers being stable.

Godmars2903764d ago (Edited 3764d ago )

Question is how long will the beta last, and will it be more than just glorified advertising. A demo they wont use any real information from.

Abriael3764d ago

until the end of march. As what it will include, no info.

Eonjay3764d ago

Might as well give it a try.

NegativeCreepWA3764d ago

Doesn't really matter, all they really have to do is make sure the PS4 version is stable.

Jubez1873764d ago

Smart move SE. Although kinda dumb at the same time seeing as the beginning of the game moves sooooo slow.

Jubez1873764d ago

Abriael stop, I love this game too but you need to accept that there might be ONE flaw. This game starts off slow when you have to kill lady bugs with 2 skills, nobody can deny that with a straight face.

JAMurida3764d ago

@Jubez187

What MMO doesn't have you killing some non-hostile creature at the start of the game using only a few skills? Not like they're going to just throw you straight into Titan EX fresh out the gates, lol.

HmongAmerican3764d ago

Hey, if you haven't watch AngryJoe recent release video about top 10 controversy of 2013. Than I recommend you to go watch him on youtube. In the video he mention about paying beta test game and it looks like Sqaure Enix is doing it with FFXV.

Abriael3764d ago

Umh no they aren't. No one has to pay anything to get in the beta.

edgeofsins3764d ago

The initial game wasn't a beta test, it was a failure. They gave every person that subscribed plenty more additional months free of charge for the re-release.

It does suck though for those that paid to realize everything's being wiped clean. I like the re-release though. I'm not going to pay a monthly fee though unless it goes down.

KratosSaveUs3764d ago

Now I can try to get into Final Fantasy.

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_drake20d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK20d ago (Edited 20d 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.

TheGamingHounds19d ago

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

Eidolon19d 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

Aphrodia20d 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.

shinoff218320d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA20d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA19d 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.

CrimsonWing6920d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA20d 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.

CrimsonWing6920d ago

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