New Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Screenshots Show New Hairstyles

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn patch 2.1 is going to bring a whole lot of new content in December, including a beauty salon for players to re-customize their characters.

The beauty salon is going to come packed with new hairstyles for players to enjoy, and today Square Enix released new screenshots showcasing two of the hairdos that will become available then.

If this thing goes free to play, I will definitely give it a shot.
As it stands, I have not the justification of a monthly fee, if only for the fact that I don't have the time to take advantage of it.

"""@GentlemenRU s: It has nothing to do with greed. We're getting what we pay for."""

Is the DLC free? If not then I fail to see the purpose of a monthly fee. Keeping the servers running? They can pay for a full year with just a single month's profit from all the members they have and if the rest is to pay for the DLC then what's the DLC price for?

If the DLC is infact free than I shall accept that my inquiry is flawed.

Noami3851d ago

they already stated that they would prefare shutting down server than going f2p so dont count on it

GentlemenRUs3851d ago

Ah, The greed of SQUARE ENIX... I hate it so!

@Gentlemen
How is it greedy to pay your employees to continue to work on a game that people are paying to play?

Ngai3851d ago

I wish my house went F2p! These 10 bucks on a good MMO?? I couldn't care less. Great game.

Debaitable3851d ago

I for one think that the price is justified. It gives me a lot of entertainment for $15 a month.

Summons753851d ago

FF11 is still paid this will last....honestly I've never been an mmo person especially paid subs but I love this. So much for my money and I work nearly 80 hours a week =/ so not too much time on my hands either but still great =]

Well, content is coming (and looks good, and sounds really interesting), server maintenance is regularly held, and improvements have been noticed. It's not that expensive, considering how cheap the game itself was to purchase (if you'll play this game more than any other game in your collection, why not?).

It's worth the money, if players feel they'll enjoy it over the course of which they paid for.

ps4lifesucka3851d ago

going to try this out when it comes to ps4

Jubez1873850d ago

@Lord_Sloth

It's free. I don't think that there's anything in the game that you need to purchase extra EXTRA (as in: game, monthly fee, THEN microtransaction). In about a year, there'll be enough content to justify anyone's monthly payment.

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_drake46d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

RedDevils44d ago

*insert gift*
"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

DivineHand12545d ago

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.

TheGamingHounds44d ago

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon44d 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

Aphrodia45d 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.

shinoff218345d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA45d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA45d 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.

CrimsonWing6945d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA45d 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.

CrimsonWing6945d ago

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