Final Fantasy XIV is extremely popular and the latest expansion Endwalker (currently in early access) is attracting a ton of active and returning players.
While that’s a pretty nice problem to have for Square Enix, it is creating issues with the servers.
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.
Definitely causing LONG queue times. It's crazy too when you consider on NOT overpopulated servers the queue times are in the 5000+ length. And this is BEFORE the launch for everyone. I'm expecting 10-15k queue lines on Tuesday for my server.
Honestly it's infuriating. Saturday I accidently closed my client by mistake, got hit with a 3.5k queue. Queue for two hours, get literally to position 1, lobby server timeout and kicked right back to the end of the queue. From trying to log back in at 3pm, i didn't get in until around about 9pm, that's unacceptable.
Having said this though, I love Yoshi P's honesty. No corporate hogwash of "we thank you for your patience" just honest answers to frustrating questions.
I haven't been able to play since Wednesday and i got 3 months left on my sub this is beyond ridiculous
