63 Screenshots from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn’s “Secret” Opening for Meteor Survivors

Those that will return to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn after previously playing the game are granted the chance to see a special intro cutscene that new players won't see at all, and a special mark on their back.

Too cool. I really thought it was clever to work in the destruction of the initital launch.

Abriael3961d ago

Yep. It worked great, I know there were quite a few of my linkshell members tearing up this morning when they first logged in :D

ajames3473961d ago

I wish I could have seen the special opening myself. That sounds like a really cool concept.

Abriael3961d ago

I'll post a video when the NDA drops :D

NatureOfLogic3961d ago

Back to some FFXIV ARR beta. I'm level 18 right now. I'm going to be so sad when it's time to reset. :(

dp2774073961d ago

Yea I'll be back on tonight also lvl 16 here.

FamilyGuy3961d ago

lol, I just started last night, I'm only level 3.
Spent a lot of time on that intro, tutorial and learning the ropes.

Nevers3961d ago

Made a lvl 10 caster and a lvl 5 melee. Looking forward to getting back into it tonight. Think I'm going to start a different race in a different city then continue my mage.

these are all pc screenshots, and they look awesome!!

But I want to see some ps3 shots, my brother wants me to play on ps3 with him, but the stuff I saw a while back looked realy, really bad.

hope they have vastly improved the ps3 visuals!

Nevers3961d ago

I thought it looked pretty nice on my ps3.

Abriael3961d ago

Unfortunately, while I have the PS3 version on hand, it doesn't yet allow taking screenshots.

It definitely has improved since the first showing, but it's for sure not as good as PC, the shift in resolution shows a lot, alongside aliasing. But for a MMO on PS3, it still looks good, considering the outdated hardware and the lack of memory.

cunnilumpkin3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

would you say it looks the same or better than white knight chronicles, I love that game, and if its about on par with that i'm fine with that

FamilyGuy3961d ago

It like about as good as WKCs 2

FamilyGuy3961d ago

It like about as good as WKCs 2, magic spells in wkc2 looked better though, every is always pile diving on enemies here so it's hard to see sometimes.

Pretty similar except with more noticeable jaggies though.

FamilyGuy3961d ago

They sent a lot of beta codes out through psn messaging, I had 5 friends online last all playing. I'm on there too, can't believe downloading that video/trailer off ps store really worked ^_^

NioRide3961d ago

Jumping back on, I'm really going to hate to restart but its definitely a fun game.

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_drake23d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

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

RedDevils22d ago

"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

DivineHand12522d 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.

TheGamingHounds22d ago

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

Eidolon22d 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

Aphrodia22d 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.

shinoff218322d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA22d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA22d 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.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA22d 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.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

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