Final Fantasy 14 offers opportunities to play for free fairly often for those who have let their accounts go dormant. Players get the opportunity to revisit old friends and check out new content, while Square Enix hopes their time in Eorzea leads to them renewing their subscription.

The new Final Fantasy 14 free login campaign is running from November 18 through December 16 at 6:59 am PST. However, players are only eligible for a four-day playing period within this span. Once an account is reactivated under the campaign, the four day timer begins, regardless of whether a player is currently logged in or not. Unfortunately, any maintenance downtime will also chip away at this four day period, so players should be aware of any scheduled maintenance before deciding when they want to log in if they want to make the most of it.
There is some fine print for players who are interested in rejoining. Only existing accounts can take advantage of the offer, though Final Fantasy 14 offers a special free trial for new users that lets them play up to level 60 without charging a subscription fee. For the existing account campaign, a player’s account must be inactive for at least a month. Finally, if a player decides to renew their account subscription during their free campaign, the campaign will immediately end and the paid subscription will begin, forfeiting any remaining time on the free campaign.
Final Fantasy 14 is one of the greatest comeback stories in the world of gaming, and it’s still going strong. After initially floundering, the game did something very few had attempted: it completely shut down and started over from the beginning. Thankfully, the gambit paid off for Square Enix, and years later, Final Fantasy 14 is still popular enough to even draw players away from the MMORPG legend World of Warcraft. Just this summer, Square Enix reported that it experienced a jump in Final Fantasy 14 subscribers.
There’s always something to do in the Square Enix MMORPG, whether players want to jump into the latest Final Fantasy 14 raid or just prowl around on an island sanctuary. While players wait for the next Final Fantasy 14 Fanfest’s arrival, they may seem some returning friends.
Final Fantasy 14 is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
