    Free Trial Revamped

    No Time Restriction, lvl35 Cap, 8 Toons, Can Join Groups & Linkshells, Deep Dungeon Access to lvl10
    Square Enix has brought new enhancements to the Final Fantasy XIV free trial in preparation for the upcoming release of Stormblood. The latest update removes the 14-day time restriction previously placed on free trial accounts, allowing anyone to experience the award-winning MMO for free, up to level 35. Players will be able to continue exploring the realm of Eorzea™ for as long as they like, or try out different playable races, classes, and jobs.

    These enhancements do not extend only to new free trial accounts—existing or expired free trial accounts will be reactivated, allowing players to continue their previous adventures. Free trial players can access all content up to level 35, create up to eight playable characters (one per World), join parties or linkshell groups with fellow players, and even battle their way to Floor 10 in the Deep Dungeon.

    It is only halfway to the new SB level cap and still doesn't let you access the vast majority of the content. You get access to what? 6 or 7 dungeons? A bunch of quests, leves (lol), maybe Gold Saucer stuff?

    When is the first primal trial in the storymode? So maybe a couple of those too.

    Considering the status of XIV I'm not surprised they'd want to give "more" to try to get more players. SB will bring people back for a short time as does every major patch but the Free Trial for XIV was extremely limited, likely to battle RMT but it didn't really attract people much.

    You also level so damn quick now that the old trial cap also came up rather quick.

    Time restriction means the most to me. On past free weekends, I never even got to log in due to the updates getting stuck while downloading files. Error was never consistent either, crashing the download after 2 minutes or 2 hours.

    I think thats a bad time to end the trial. I loved up until Ifrit. But after Ifrit the MSQ you do the dumbest shit in the world. It's really awkward pacing.
