For the Love of FFXIV, its Endgame Must Be Stopped

Final Fantasy XIV’s endgame is becoming a snoozefest with no clear end to it in sight. For the love of this excellent MMORPG, something needs to change and it needs to happen fast.

One does not have to simply grind the end game. There's crafting that can be done, other classes to level up, golden saucer, gathering/making things to sell for massive gil.

Viryu3043d ago

I quit the game when I've realized that I was spending 8 hours a day on crafting for gil. I don't really need a second job, especially when I'm the one paying >.>

joab7773043d ago

Yeah. Crafting is no joke lol!

There was hunting that they added, bit I agree, at least shake up the dungeon format, and the atm grind. And I've always wondered why mmo's don't work to combine crafting and drops into BiS, making use of both.

It's a great game, bit without a dominant PvP, the PvE carries all the weight...and that's tough for an mmo to do. It's simply impossible to keep up with great, varied content without a fun time killer...like PvP.

ESO has that. Its just missing small scale PvP, which will make an already phenomonal game even better.

Well, there were raids, but with the stupidly high difficulty at start, and with the ability to get items only once a week, not much left to do afterwards.

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

Eidolon48d 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

Aphrodia49d 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

NOMATICENIGMA49d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA48d 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.

CrimsonWing6949d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA49d 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.

CrimsonWing6948d ago

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