The below video glitch is occurring after I launch the game from the PS3 game menu. The best way I can describe it is what it looks like when you tried to watch something on Pay Per View when you didn't pay for it.


  • The PS3 menu itself looks normal
  • I tried to see if it would occur with a different game (The Walking Dead), it loaded just fine with no video glitch
  • Double checked, unplugged/replugged my HDMI connection while FFXIV was loaded, no change
  • Tried to continue logging in to see if it would snap back to normal but there was no change
  • Checked to see if another PS3 user was experiencing the same glitch but it loaded fine on their system
I was hoping I wouldn't have to but I will proceed with uninstalling and reinstalling the game to see if that fixes it but I just find it strange as there was no system or game update that I'm aware of that would've messed with anything. Luckily, I can still log in via my laptop but I generally like to play on my PS3 as I like to keep my laptop free in case work related stuff pops up.
