Hundreds of Final Fantasy XIV Players Gather Across Servers in Moving Farewell to a Dying Gamer

Some say that gamers, and MMORPG players in particular, are detached and alienated from the real world: Yet, when the most feared real world event comes, MMORPG gamers seldom fail to show their compassion, community spirit and love.

Wow, I literally just saw the same thing in an anime. Nice gesture and hope his last moments were peaceful

right?! just watched sao 2 ep 24 last night lol woke up and read this! Sent so many shivers down my spine

It's a warm gesture from many gamers who likely never met Codex but wanted to show solidarity with him. The pictures of them all sitting are like real vigils and very moving and I hope it gave him and his family strength.

HammadTheBeast3406d ago

That reminds me. Gotta catch up on past 4 episodes.

Letthewookiewin3406d ago

I'm sorry accidentally hit disagree. I'm on my phone. But yes agree completely with what you said.

mikkusu3406d ago

This moves me greatly. Codex I wish you all the best and thank you for being a gamer.

As an avid FFXIX player myself, it's always such a wonderful thing to be a part of a larger community. I heard about this last night and this is bar none one of the most touching things I've ever seen in the realm of gaming. I never really understood what it was to be part of an MMO community until FFXIV, and quite frankly I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Rest in peace Codex, our love goes out to you from Jenova.

The world isn't all bad, because humans ain't all bad.

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.

gold_drake16d ago

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

Eidolon15d 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

Aphrodia15d 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

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA15d 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.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

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