GR - I got a chance to sit down with Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn producer/director Naoki Yoshida to talk about the upcoming PlayStation 4 port of the game. Yoshida spoke through a translator and these interviews can sometimes be difficult given the time constraints and intermediary, but Yoshida was genuine, likable, and forthcoming about all things Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
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.
Nice way of putting it.
I'd love to see them pull that off.
They make a ton of money with the subscription model though -- one of the few that still successfully pull it off these days -- so I doubt they will.
I'm glad he's at least considering it now. I recall way before ARR launched, Yoshida said he would rather shut the game down than go Free to Play...or something along those lines. Not that ARR needs to go F2P, but it's good they would go F2P many years down the road rather than just outright shut the game down.
I hope this game becomes popular but $15 a month is a bit much
$15 x 12 = $180 a year
They should have priced it $60 a year that way more people would buy it
I am subscripted to this game and play it daily.
The day you announce F2P I will instantly QUIT. Just like I did with Age of Conan, Rift, SWTOR and TERA.
F2P = low quality MMO with cash shop over content and balances and there all F2P MMOs are Pay to win.
