I can't believe a numbered FF game is going to be online again.

greeneggsnsam5058d ago

I wonder if they'll have a boss again that takes 13 hours to beat!

SeanRL5058d ago

That would be awesome!

Biggest5058d ago

They probably won't. They changed that particular mob and ensured that no other mobs reached that level of crazy. There is a 2 hour time limit on those fights now. And the mobs were scaled back to make it possible to defeat in that time.

Darkfiber5058d ago

Mmhmm, can't wait for TERA. Might play this while I'm waiting for it though.

Chris3995058d ago

Not sure which one I'll enjoy more though. Tera, while looking incredibly promising, could turn out to be another Aion.

If all else fails, there's Guild Wars 2. I already know that will be the game that I play for years.

Pennywise5058d ago

Have they announced GW2 release date? After Aion, I am weary... but I will give it a shot, especially if it stay f2p. My PC needs some games to play... waste of good hardware.

Baka-akaB5058d ago

i have no confidence in tera ... i smell a aion 2 .. or rather lineage 4 .

I'll just await for ffxiv , gw2 and kotor , and pick among them

Chris3995058d ago

And they're sticking with the REAL free to play model (not this micro-transaction bs (well, there could be some of that in there, but the actual content is all included).

You should check out the official website if you haven't been there yet:

Panthers5058d ago

Im looking forward to Star War TOR more than any of those

GrilledCheeseBook5058d ago

Tera is looking incredibly sweet

JAMurida5058d ago

@CrzyFooL

I don't understand... If you don't like FFXIV but you like TERA, why would you look at anything related to FFXIV??? I guess you must be bored?

By the way guys if you have registered to the square enix site you had better check your emails. I got my beta invite!!! :)

Marceles5058d ago

lucky :( I've been scared to re-submit for the beta because if you try more than once it voids your chance of getting in

blasian5058d ago

FFXI1015058d ago

Marceles5058d 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_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?
