Final Fantasy XIV got a free trial service going for players who wanted to check the game out before buying it, allowing potential buyers 14 days of in-game time before they would have to buy the game.
Square Enix has now decided to remove the time limitation for anyone who is looking to try the game out for free but a level limitation has been added in its place, with a 35 Level cap for a free user. A 35 level cap and unlimited play time is more of a free-gift than a trial to some users but it does not incorporate the game completely, especially with expansions coming in soon.
Final Fantasy XIV has been out for a while, it was released back in 2013 and is available for PC, PS3 and PS4 as well.
