"With numerous posters, banners and booths in the process of being precariously strung across every available surface, a few little secrets and slip through the nets for inquisitive journalists such as ourselves to snatch up. Here’s a few of the rather interesting tidbits we observed..."
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.
Those Epic Mickey banners are fantastic!
I personally can not wait to get my backside in the GT5 cockpits, and to find out what the re-branding of project natal is this evening. Should be very exciting indeed. Especially with Cirque de Soleil doing a huge event based around game sound tracks.
Apparently they will be doing various activities throughout the 3 days on the showroom floor and involving the members of the public. sounds cool.
Certainly is rather huge actually. We'll be at the Natal event this evening, so we'll have some news on that just as soon as we can.
Looks like xbox sites are pulling at straws. Only thing they can talk about is multiplatforms and the usual gears and halo blah blah blah.
Just saw the Mortal Kombat banner that's all I'm interested in really and the usual sequels and boring other games that seem to be populating E3 this year. It's all glitz and glamour with barely any substance
"Major exclusives always have the console displayed prominently on the banner, yet FFXIV’s removal of PS3 branding could indicate a potential switch to multiplatform release. We’ll have to wait and see."
Maybe it doesn't have PS3 branding because IT ISN'T AN EXCLUSIVE. It is coming out on PC too. I have the alpha beta of the FF14 beta on my PC right now.
