Congrats FFXIV.

Awards like this mean so much imo but get little praise.

Jubez1873740d ago

I'm assuming this is mostly because of the controller settings. It really is revolutionary that they got the controller to feel almost as natural as M/KB. Personally, I prefer it for this game because I feel like I have better control over my character and camera, I can always move and switch targets/use skills seeing as I don't have to keep my fingers on WASD.

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.

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

Aphrodia23d 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

NOMATICENIGMA23d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA23d 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.

CrimsonWing6923d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA23d 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.

CrimsonWing6923d ago

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