Isnt the game also rated Teen+? What teens are offended by the word poop?

A profanity filter that is safe is better than one that is too lax and offends everyone.

Couldn't name my Retainer Candy.

Can't explain it.

It seems this goes far deeper than just simply the word "Opo-Opo" and in hindsight I wish I had titled the thread something to the effect of "Language Filter Issues" purely so more people would look at the post and chime in on everyday words they couldn't use while naming their LS/FC.

I can understand taking offence to certain words that are deemed by society as "bad", but words like "mechanics" or "candy" (did candy crush really go that far :P). That's a bit.. too restrictive.

Good thing no one can remember how to spell it right I suppose. :p

A point of view I have to disagree with, but, it would be pointless for me to explain why.

That could be because someone else already named their retainer Candy. You can't have duplicates.

Not even a little bit.

Means they will. Look at some FC tags sometimes.

I tried to make a retainer named Danushka... couldn't. Took me a while to see it.

The hilarious thing is that an overly sensitive language filter actually helps people learn new and exciting vocabulary!

In FFXI, my friends and I were puzzled as to why some of our text was being filtered out. I can't remember what the exact words we used were, but it was something like, "Are you co????, ?iros?" The original text was "Are you coming, Eiros?"

Thanks to that, I learned a new word that I never would have known otherwise! Thank you, language filter, for teaching me new profanity!
