I Hate Everything Final Fantasy, But I Can't Stop Playing FFXIV A Realm Reborn

Over the next 30 days, we intend to chronicle our exploits in the land of Eorzea in explicit detail, regularly updating you of our progress and where we stand, before eventually delivering a verdict as to whether it's worth it to start paying for this game via a monthly subscription and continuing to play. Up first, Brent introduces you to Kandy Kane, a beautiful Marauder whose outward appearance is less than indicative of her prowess with a battle axe.

You hate everything Final Fantasy? People are idiots. It's crazy how people decide they don't like something for no other reason than "I'm allowed to hate on anything I want" I hate the type of person that says they don't like a food they've never tasted.

crimsonfox3647d ago (Edited 3647d ago )

I have come across people here who "hate" Mercenary Kings even though they haven't even played it. People can think of the silliest reasons to hate on something and quickly pass it up. the last time I commented on MK I was replied to with the stupidest comments I didn't even reply haha

impet253647d ago

I know what you mean, my cousin was absolutely pissed when merc kings came out even tho it was free. Now he can't stop playing it.smh

TheDude793647d ago

It's crazy how people judge an article without reading it. I explained why I hated Final Fantasy due to my past experience with it (yep, I played it, so I guess I can comment on it). It was incredibly annoying to me. However, A Realm Reborn has most definitely reversed most of those opinions. Thanks for the comment though

FullmetalRoyale3647d ago (Edited 3647d ago )

It's quite ridiculous really, the way that people behave. They(not personally referencing the guy above) probably have some social/psychological reasons why they always seem to be angry. The same way when you see kids(hopefully kids) throwing fits in the comment section of a review of a game that hadn't been released yet, just because they are unhappy with the reviewers opinion.

They are looking forward to a game, they see that someone doesn't like it, then they immediately throw temper tantrums instead of just accepting the disappointment that maybe a game they were looking forward to isn't quite up to snuff.

It quite honestly comes off as simple denial.

*I.e. This guy doesn't like FF, so he must be an idiot. There couldn't possibly be any aspect of this franchise that one couldn't enjoy!
It's as if you just insulted their character, or life choices...*

Anywhoozer.... I just(FINALLY) got my friend to purchase and download FFXIV yesterday, and we will dive in later this afternoon. Granted, I played it on PS3 back when it launched, but I am still very excited to not only play it with a friend(WITH voice chat), but also to play it on PS4.

Reading your article just makes me more excited to play it later today!

Crystallis3647d ago

I knew you'd like it. If you can guess who this is, i follow you on twitter and told you the same thing LOL.

Magicite3647d ago

You cant hate everything related FF, yet like Realm Reborn, cos its everything Final Fantasy + Online. Idiot.

Irishguy953647d ago (Edited 3647d ago )

...You should really try them again.

trenso13647d ago

you played one other final fantasy and can't even remember which one it was, along with the fact each game is different in their own ways, it is pretty absurd to say you hate all final fantasy from one bad experience.

Tetsujin3646d ago

After reading this, I can say the majority of gamers felt this way about certain franchises at one time or another (or consoles). It screamed satire mixed with truth, something you don't normally see often.

To those that didn't read it; "OMG he's a noob, he needs to get an xbone and play Titanfail and hate on that for no apparent reason!!one111!"

If u r not into jrpgs, u will find it very hard to get through a final fantsay game. Many are hooked by the beautiful cutscenes etc. But turned based combat is tough to love for many twitch fanatics.

That being said, if u do love jrpgs, FF, or mmo's in general, u will fall hard for FF:ARR. It is amazing. I find it hard to believe though that he loves this game and never liked a FF game before. Maybe he is an mmo fan...but i doubt it.

Good to know though that it is attracting other types. Its gonna need it it June when ESO releases.

nope1113647d ago

I don't like MMOs, but FF14ARR is damn fun. The quality is really good.

Kurisu3647d ago (Edited 3647d ago )

It's the first MMO I've ever bought. I've played every Final Fantasy since VII (minus XI) and I've got to say, XIV is fun. HOWEVER being an online game I miss the story and characters of the single player games. The story in XIV seems so few and far between and you find yourself getting lost in between fetching quests and the likes. But that's to be expected I guess.

Eorzea is beautiful though! The amount of work SE put in to the game is pretty great.

dcj05243647d ago

The fetch quest piss me off. Too much! The actual story how ever is great!

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_drake16d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

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

RedDevils14d ago

*insert gift*
"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

DivineHand12515d ago

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.

TheGamingHounds15d ago

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

Eidolon15d 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

Aphrodia15d 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.

shinoff218315d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

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