(30) Days of RPGs: September 2010

Jeremy Signor takes a look at the RPG-heavy month of September, with Final Fantasy 14, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Etrian Odyssey 3, and much more.

JamesDeRosa4985d ago

These monthly RPG guides are super helpful.

I wonder how FF14 is going to fare....

Darkfiber4985d ago

Probably not that well. Sure, a lot of people will buy it on name alone, but I don't see even a quarter of the people sticking around after the first free month.

RPGs are my favourite genre but none of these look appealing whatsoever. October will be better with Arcania and Two Worlds 2 though.

SeanRL4984d ago

Hopefully two worlds 2 will rock.

mittwaffen4984d ago

FF14 blows balls,

its been rushed/uncreative/consoleitis.
IT feels EXTREMELY linear, ugly, rushed environment.

It feels like they had the PS3's limited RAM in mind when making this somewhat, since this is one of the most limited and narrow in scope mmos i've come across. Now I havent seen everything, but i'll judge off BETA vs Beta of other mmos and this is one of the worst.

When it comes to mmos BETA = Final. Intill patches/money starts flowing. But this game has too much unfixable elements in it to even hope.

Wow, I need to finish Deathspank 1 now.

M3rkMast3r4985d ago

I have never played any of the Deathspanks.

M3rkMast3r4985d ago

I have never played any of the Deathspank games.

HelghastKid4984d ago

Atelier Rorona for me :) Have to please the RPG whore inside of me

Redempteur4984d ago (Edited 4984d ago )

"save forthe first Atelier Iris game, with its engaging item creation system, charming sprite-based visuals, and solid battle system. The fact that they lost the plot with the two sequels is ten kinds of heartbreaking."

wow oh wow ... the plot of atelier IRIS 1,2,3 have nothing in common .. it's just an alchemy game with a godess iris they're not even in the same timeline ..
there is no plot lost ..

it's like saying that there is a plot lost between ff7 & ff8 ...

FAIL

midgard2294984d 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_drake26d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

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

RedDevils24d 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.

TheGamingHounds25d ago

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

Eidolon25d 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

Aphrodia25d 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.

shinoff218325d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA25d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA25d 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.

CrimsonWing6925d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA25d 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.

CrimsonWing6925d ago

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