Square Enix has announced that they’ve expanded the free trial for Final Fantasy XI! Previously, the free trial for FFXI was quite limited.
Likely due to the increase in players in recent times, in no small part due to the Echoes of Vana’diel raid series in Final Fantasy XIV, the free trial for Square Enix’s first MMO has gotten a massive overhaul.
The biggest changes to the free trial are that it no longer limits playtime to 14 days, and it has increased its level cap from level 50 to level 75.
The full list of restrictions are as follows:
- Character limit – Free trial accounts can have up to 3 characters at a time.
- Level 75 cap – Jobs available in the free trial can be leveled to 75. Jobs introduced in expansion packs are not available in the free trial.
- Area restrictions – Free trial players will only be able to access areas included in the original Final Fantasy XI release.
- Auction usage – Free trial players will not be able to place items up for auction, place bids on auctions, or view items up for auction.
- Gil limit – Free trial players can hold up to a maximum of 100,000 gil.
- Trading and bazaar – Free trial players cannot trade with other players or use the bazaar feature to buy or sell items.
- Party Invitations – Free trial players cannot invite other players to a party. However, free trial players can join parties when invited.
- Mog House Delivery Box – Free trial players cannot use the Mog House Delivery Box feature.
- Tell/shout/yell – Free trial players cannot use the /tell, /shout, or /yell chat channels. However, they can chat within a party and reply to /tell messages from other players.
