"Before I get started, and before you shoot me for not saying Final Fantasy 7 is the best, there are a few things you need to know about me. I’m a huge Final Fantasy fan. The kind of fan that has given up several pieces of furniture to an ever expanding collection of giant plushes and books. The kind of fan that probably won’t have many friends left if she keeps bringing the series up in casual conversation. I love every entry for very different reasons, and know the series inside and out."
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.
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
it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape
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.
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.
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.
...I can't even begin to get on board with this. Final Fantasy XIV is VERY much a traditional MMORPG in everything from it's structure to it's storytelling to it's character progression to it's etc. etc.
At no point in FFXIV did I ever feel anywhere near as invested in the world and it's inhabitants as I did in the best entries in the series (pretty much VI-X). The way MMO's are structured makes it damn near impossible to get that same level of involvement that you get from a traditional JRPG.
FFXIV is a great MMO, but in no way is it the best game in the series. It's too generic and doesn't take chances with new concepts like FF games usually do.
I really hate that the only game SQEnix has in development for PSVR is this damn game.
It was a really good game when I started playing it. But then it told me I had to play dungeons with random people (since none of my friends played this game) to continue with the story and unlock essential stuff like storage. I tried one, didn't like it, wasn't willing to continue playing dungeons with random people, so I gave up on it. This is why I still prefer World of Warcraft.
