GodisaGeek: "In terms of breadth and scope, an MMORPG set in the universe of Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy series is a mammoth proposition. Final Fantasy has existed, in one form or another, through games and spin-offs, animé, CGI movies, graphic novels and books for almost 25 years. It’s a mega-franchise, an important, nay essential, weave in the great tapestry that is the history of video games.
Of course, it’s been playable online before, in Final Fantasy XI, but not with the level of ambition with which Square approached Final Fantasy XIV. It’s almost no surprise that it went massively, massively wrong the first time round. Without going into great detail, the original release of Final Fantasy XIV – back in September of 2010 – was a resounding failure, prompting significant changes to the development team and the resignation of the original director. Despite heavy overhauls and repeated patches, including the removal of the particularly hated Fatigue System (the longer you play in one go, the less experience and loot you earn), Square-Enix struggled to drag FFXIV out of the hole it had dug for itself. In the end, they announced that it was to be scrapped, and re-launched as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn."
Final Fantasy XIV fans can now properly benchmark their PCs and check out some of what's coming to their game this summer.

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.
