It wasn’t until I deleted that account (my main one) and accessed the PlayStation Store from the website using my alt that I was finally able to download the Starter. The first few extra accounts I tried failed because the PlayStation Store still recognised that one of the users on the PS4 had the licence for the actual game. The bad news is that it required making a separate PlayStation account and using that to download the Starter Edition. It's been a while, but I remember the setup process being quick and easy.įor the low price of absolutely nothing, there's no harm in checking this game out, especially if you've been jonesing for more Final Fantasy after the long-awaited 2016 release of Final Fantasy XV.Instead I spent a fair bit of time over the weekend hunting for a workaround. To try it for yourself, head over to the game's official website and create an account or - for the PS4 folks - find and download the free client in the PS Store. FFXIV is a standard MMORPG in many ways, but it's set in a fantasy universe filled with familiar touchstones. Now that the ticking clock is gone, I'm actually tempted to jump back in and keep going with my character. I didn't play for long - never even reached level 20 - because the initial 30-day subscription expired and I didn't re-up it. I dove down the FFXIV rabbit hole for a couple weeks during a lull in my Destiny obsession. That's another cool thing: FFXIV is available for PS4, and it works surprisingly well as a console game. You'll be able to link up with friends and randoms, visit the Deep Dungeon, and take advantage of the cross-platform play between PC and PlayStation 4. Prior to hitting level 35, there aren't many restrictions on what you can do in the game. And you're allowed to create as many as eight, as long as there's no more than one per World (the FFXIV designation for servers). Leveling even one character up to 35 will take some time - at least a few days of moderate play (or one day of super-efficient, heavy play). You're getting an awful lot of free content now. Previously, the free trial ended after a two week timer elapsed, regardless of your progress. This marks a major change for one of the last top-tier subscription-based MMORPGs not called World of Warcraft.
