Forget FF XIV let it die with dignity and get back to work on Versus XIII

Kamikaze1354563d ago

If you knew what you were talking about you would know that the teams working on XIV and Versus XIII are entirely different. Canceling XIV wouldn't speed up Versus XIIIs development.

Damage is done, it'll never recover.

Even if it went F2P; it'd be lucky to live.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Please!!

Wintersun6164563d ago (Edited 4563d ago )

Back when PS3 was announced, a FF7 remake seemed like the best possible thing in the world. But looking at it now, could they actually pull it off without dividing the fans?

If they kept the core gameplay mostly the same, there would be a big bunch of people saying that it's not on par with todays standards when it comes to battle system. RPG fans seem to be a little divided between those who loved FF13-like linear but fluent battle system, and those who want SE to go back to the old days and bring back turn based combat.

Even though I found FF13's battle system to be mostly ok, I think it would be blasphemy to remake FFVII with said system. Even though FF7 remake seems very _very_ unlikely, I fear if they did it, they would go with the more up to date battle system that would be fast paced and less controllable like FF13's was. And having to wait for a bar to fill up would not be ok for some other people anymore.

How about we leave this topic alone, and let FF7 be?

I don't know if this possible divide of fans is an issue of any magnitude, but I've been thinking something like that for a long time now and a few beers make my fingers fly.

If they did do a FF7 remake Im sure they would profit big time

negroguy4563d ago

Ill have to wait and see about this. I played it when it was free but since they're adding paid sub now i'm guessing they will lose some players. Hopefully 2.0 will have major changes and intrigue me to subscribe.

gtxgamer24563d ago

In my opinion making it Free 2 play alot more people would download an play but just add things such as FF points or FF coins, so people can buy stuff an they would at least make some money to support it

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_drake50d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

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.

TheGamingHounds49d ago

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

Eidolon49d 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

Aphrodia50d 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

NOMATICENIGMA50d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA49d 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.

CrimsonWing6950d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA50d 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.

CrimsonWing6950d ago

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