Hardcore Gamer: When perusing through the PSN new releases today, I had to stop and slack my jaw for an extended moment after witnessing one of the most inept things I've ever laid eyes on: a "Digital Collector's Edition."
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.
Wow, so first you take away our physical game manuals, and now you want us to buy into a "digital" collector's edition? Go eff yourself, Square.
Square is getting to an EA level with me. Meaning that I have to think long and hard before buying one of their titles.
I always laugh for new releases in digital form that contain the words like special edition, collector edition and asking for more money, sadly some people fall for it.
The ball of disappointment that Square has become continues to roll downhill.
I remember when I loved you, square. NES, SNES, PSX... those days are long gone. Makes me sad when I think of Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana and see what you're doing these days. :(
OT: What square really need to stop doing is online only collector's editions with distribution through Digital River. Digital River is the inept distribution company ever. They give absolutely zero F**K'S about the product that people pay for. They just send people's product off with a measly ass sheet of paper for protection. MAN I FREAKING HATE DIGITAL RIVER. Yet Square continue to use them.
