This 24-year-old MMORPG now gives you unlimited free access

▤ Summary

Square Enix removed the time limit on the Final Fantasy XI Free Trial, allowing players to explore the base game for an unlimited period without paying. The company raised the trial's level cap from 50 to 75 (it considered 99 but rejected it to avoid giving away too much content). Free Trial players still lack access to expansions and keep existing restrictions on in-game currency, trading, and other mechanics. The change was announced during a Japanese YouTube livestream and aims to let more players sample the MMORPG while preserving paid expansion content.
