Final Fantasy XIV kicks off a free login campaign for former players

If it’s been a while since the last time you stepped into Final Fantasy XIV, you might want to try it out again. Of course, since it’s one of the only subscription-based games left, that might normally present certain problems. But there’s no need to fret about that, as the game is open to everyone with its free login campaign starting today and running through May 6th. If you’ve played in the past, you can log in and play now!

The catch is that once you log in, you have 96 hours of remaining free logins, so you can’t login freely over the whole period. But the fact that you can log in freely is the point.

Anyone who has registered the game and had an inactive account for 30 days or more is eligible to take part, although those whose accounts are inactive due to bans or suspension will not be able to overturn those as part of the free logins. Once you’re in, you can just play the game normally during the trial period. If you need a refresher or you’re thinking about giving it another shot, you can download the client and be ready to go.
