Final Fantasy XIV was first announced at least year’s E3, before Final Fantasy XIII had even come out. It was kind of a shock, but a joyful one for FF fans. The game was announced as a PC/PS3-exclusive MMO (possible Xbox 360 version?), and the initial trailers were reminiscent of Final Fantasy XI.
Well, at E3 last week we got a chance to try out the PC beta build of Final Fantasy XIV (beta testing will start approximately in July). We created a character, joined a party and killed some a-hole crabs. Impressions, and more pictures of sexy cat chicks, after the jump.
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.
That sounds good and i do hope they tweek little things like sheathing your sword as your running and the slow down rate. Im sure with it being in alpha it'll all be ironed out hopefully.
FFXI
with updated graphics....God I hope I get the beta...I will send in so much feedback that they will hire me..lol
If anyone here gets the beta and doesnt want it, Ill pay for your code...
The one main thing I am worried about now that the benchmark is out is how intense the game is gonna be on peoples hardware.
A few of my friends who have custom gaming PC's only got a score enough to run the game on default settings at 1080p.
One would expect SE to be using the best possible top of the line PC to demo the game at E3 and they mention here that they were slowing down a bit. It's a bit worrying.
Either way I am really excited. If I can't afford to update my PC enough to run the game I can always just get the PS3 version.
Best MMO out there ^^
Well im playing it on my ps3, my pc is laughable for games.
