GD: "So, I was making my way through some Final Fantasy XIV information the other day, when I happened across the races. And my, what a selection! There's the human-like Hyur, the large, tough, hairy Roegadyn, the small and cute, but highly intelligent Taruta–ahem, I meant Lalafell. Waitaminute…these all look so familiar!"
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 like these races ( of course I'll have a Hume and elvaan only since those are the only two I play as ), but people have come to love these races. Maybe later on due to an expansion ( which is usual with Square and their MMOs - Taking a look at XI ) We'll probably get more jobs and maybe one more race. Though I think Square loves the races they have already and are not yet ready to thinking up another race yet.
Though I'm sure if people cried out for them we may very well get them.
Unfortunately, whether people like these races or not, this shows Square's usual lack of imagination and willingness to take risks. I think this is contributing to the current decline in popularity of JRPGs.
