Or maybe that's just me...
Fortunately, the NDA lift on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn occurred during the 3rd phase of the beta testing period, and while I'd most certainly forgotten most of the things I wanted to discuss back in the first 2 phases, I found a whole bunch of things I'd love to talk about in this one. If only I hadn't forgotten those, too. You'd probably have enjoyed reading this a lot more."

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.
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.
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.
Final Fantasy XIV players on Xbox are receiving console wide bans for seeking or helping others find a Free Company.
That's wild. I'm guessing someone in a position of power is VERY opposed to sharing resources.
Is this not happening on other platforms? It really seems like this game is a very unpleasant experience on Xbox the more you hear about it.
The question is... Is this Microsoft just looking to make more money on micro transactions, or is Square sabotaging the Xbox version? I really don't understand this.
