WildArmed5238d ago

NecrumSlavery5238d ago

Thought it was PC only. Awesome news!!!! I figure the PS3 beta is coming with the release of FF13 itself. Looking forward to the Agency and DC Universe Online Betas as well

meepmoopmeep5238d ago

These guys are retarded. It says ps3 on the application and I signed up for it, so what are you guys talking about?

Fishy Fingers5238d ago (Edited 5238d ago )

From the EU sign up form:

"Details regarding recruitment for the PlayStation 3 version will be released at a later date."

US different?

Xephon085237d ago

in US you can select ps3 or pc from the list

Caffo015237d ago

it is the same in the europe one but i think it's simply a question...there's written that ps3 beta will be announced at a later time so why SE would let ppl to apply for the ps3 beta now?

Blaster_Master5238d ago

I think so. It asked me what controller I would be using too and it said playstation 3 controller. Surely they dont think im gonna use my ps3 controller on my pc. Why didn't they make it a 360 controller if so?

Ninji5238d ago

You can use a PS3 controller for PC games.

majiesto5238d ago

The US Form also has a section asking which platform you'd like to do the beta test on; PC or PS3.

Delriach5238d ago

Indeed. I'm not exactly sure why.

KillaManiac5238d ago

I use a Playstation 3 controller to play Final Fantasy XI on my PC.

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_drake17d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK16d ago (Edited 16d 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.

TheGamingHounds16d ago

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

Eidolon15d 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

Aphrodia16d 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.

shinoff218316d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA16d 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.

NOMATICENIGMA16d 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.

CrimsonWing6916d ago

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

NOMATICENIGMA16d 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.

CrimsonWing6916d ago

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