Final Fantasy 14 Keyboard Brawler Hit by Untypable Words and Botting
Players report the Gold Saucer typing minigame includes words like "doppelgänger" that US and UK English keyboards cannot enter directly.
Square Enix's Keyboard Brawler typing minigame, added to Final Fantasy 14's Gold Saucer a couple of days before publication, is drawing complaints from players over words that cannot be typed and apparent botting, according to gamesradar.com.
The minigame has players type words that appear on screen to attack enemies across waves of battles. Players report that some of those words carry diacritical marks, such as "doppelgänger," which cannot be entered directly on US or UK English keyboards.
Screenshots and videos posted on Reddit and X show both the untypable words and what players describe as botting in Keyboard Brawler.
Keyboard Brawler is a limited-time addition to the Gold Saucer. It will leave the venue's lineup when the Evercold expansion releases in January.
