Now that is cool. If only US marketers had such ideas for game advertisement...

pompombrum3897d ago

Lol, I think in the US (and EU) Square should be focusing more efforts on getting competent server admins to sort their crappy servers out before thinking about marketing.

Abriael3897d ago

Any (competent) server admin will tell you that problems happen when a new datacenter gets hit with a ton of simultaneous connections.

pompombrum3897d ago

Unless they are Japanese server admins.. they've had a nice smooth launch. Can't say I completely understand all the complexities of running MMO servers but it's fairly obvious the NA/EU server launch has been pretty dire. Login restrictions? Never even heard of that in an MMO. To take a title on the mmorpg forums which sums up the North American and EU servers at the moment.. FF14.. A Real Stillborn.

Yo, I think this dude is following me.

Freddy_Millz13897d ago

Thats pretty slick!
I like how the dragoon wouldn't cooperate with the 1 guy. Dude's flailing his arms about and the Dragoon just stands there and folds his arms.

Stsonic3897d ago (Edited 3897d ago )

I am annoyed I reset earlier as I have not been able to get on forms few hours now! Really loving this game but internet problems on both ends have been hampering me.

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_drake25d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

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.

TheGamingHounds24d ago

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

Eidolon23d 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

Aphrodia24d 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

NOMATICENIGMA24d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA24d 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.

CrimsonWing6924d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA24d 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.

CrimsonWing6924d ago

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