Final Fantasy 14's upcoming Patch 7.2 is set to revamp its blacklisting system, a move aimed at protecting players from harassment. Initially introduced in the Dawntrail expansion, the system had a major flaw that exposed players' account IDs to stalkers. In response, Square Enix has reset account data to close this gap. While blacklisted characters will remain on players' lists, their names will show as unidentifiable unless players re-add them. This update is a crucial step toward enhancing safety in the community, but only time will tell how effective it truly is.
