they show that game way to early

Loxhart5377d ago

It's been in development for several years now. And isn't this an Alpha build?

Environment and draw distance is/looks amazing.

Chris3995377d ago (Edited 5377d ago )

I agree that they showed this too early. To whoever thinks the draw-distance is amazing, it's not, there's pop-in all over the place. (Check the 0.19 second mark, if you don't believe me - pay attention to the shrubs that manifest out of nowhere). The background is rendered as a static scene and your immediate surroundings are popping in all over the place. There are some serious issues with clipping when the toon is fighting those sheep things as well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for this game and it will likely be my next MMO after Aion, but it needs more work. Also note that Square Enix has a track record of rushing out buggy crap this gen (their hand-held projects aside). I'm at a cautiously optimistic level for now. I'll need to see better footage that this too, before having a more solid opinion.

P.S. There should be a Guild Wars 2 trailer out today, for all you MMORPG folk. I have a feeling it will be glorious.

...and still will purchase this game day 1 and play on day 2. Why play on day two you might ask. Well only because in my experience it usually updates to download on the first day with every mmorpg I've played and sometimes it takes a day to get yourself acclimated.

maybe WKC is not doomed in spring, that was cringe worthy

Toenado5377d ago

a lot of work to be done. But still looking forward to it.

PS360WII5377d ago

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_drake36d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

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

RedDevils35d ago

"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

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.

TheGamingHounds35d ago

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

Eidolon35d 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

Aphrodia36d 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

NOMATICENIGMA35d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA35d 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.

CrimsonWing6935d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA35d 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.

CrimsonWing6935d ago

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