Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Preview | GamingBolt

"Final Fantasy XIV was what really dealt the death knell to the Final Fantasy brand. Although the series had been in a state of steady decline since the late Playstation era, it was the poorly made, ill designed MMO that Square released with the Final Fantasy brand name slapped on it that attracted the ire of everyone, and once and for all dispelled the notion that the series, at least the mainline numbered series, was synonymous with high quality role playing."

"The character customization itself isn’t the most robust, betraying this game’s JRPG roots"

Wut? ^_^;; Is this dude drunk?

Firan3933d ago

Funny how he says "betraying this game’s JRPG roots" when most JRPGs don't have much character customization in the first place.

FFXIV has very good character creation although I would appreciate more face options, very flexible class system, rich amount of armour with the option to dye them plus more.

In short, yes he's drunk or he didn't play the beta long enough. Could be both too.

You can dye your armour mate, you have to purchase the dye from one of the merchants.

@sGIBMBR

Yes I know. The "I would appreciate" was meant only for the face options.

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.

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

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.

TheGamingHounds19d ago

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

Eidolon19d 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

Aphrodia20d 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

NOMATICENIGMA20d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA19d 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.

CrimsonWing6920d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA20d 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.

CrimsonWing6919d ago

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