Yoshida discusses Final Fantasy XIV beta tests 3 and 4, President says goodbye

If you didn’t have 2 hours to sit through the entire live producer letter that was done on the ‘Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn’ YouTube channel, then you can catch up on all of the details that were announced.

Current President Wada held a short pre-recorded video at the beginning of the live producer letter. In the video Wada stated, “I’m sure some of you have heard, I will be stepping down as President. Thank you for your support all these years.” Wada followed up by saying, “To be quite frank, as a businessman I haven’t been performing as well as I should. In order to address our current situation, we’ve had to make many difficult decisions.” In the end he said goodbye with, “We felt this change of leadership was a necessary part of the process. Although I will no longer be president, I’m confident the company will press on and thrive in my absense.” As for the new president, Yoshida states later in the video that “the new president seems to be a gamer as well.” Foxclon follows up with, “I wonder what he’ll be like.” Indicating the two may not have met at this point.

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

Eidolon14d 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

Aphrodia14d 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

NOMATICENIGMA14d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA14d 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.

CrimsonWing6914d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA14d 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.

CrimsonWing6914d ago

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