Final Fantasy XIV‘s free login campaign has returned and will run through Monday, May 8th. During this period, players with service accounts may log into the game and play for 96 hours concurrently regardless of their subscription status.
The free period is an ideal way to catch up with the game’s latest updates if you’ve taken a break, just make sure to note there is a 24-hour scheduled maintenance on Monday, April 3rd to implement Patch 6.38 wherein the game will not be available to play. Said maintenance is to upgrade the North American data center with new server infrastructure.
Additionally, for owners of the Starter Edition, the game’s second expansion Stormblood will be available for a limited time to add to your service account. You’ll have until May 8, 2023 to claim it, and instructions to do so can be found here. Released back in 2017, Stormblood saw the Warrior of Light and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn travel to lands occupied by the Garlean Empire in hopes of freeing them from imperial control. The expansion added the Red Mage and Samurai jobs and increased the level cap to 70 as well as swimming and diving traversal.
