Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - The free trial begins now!
Will Square Enix new efforts with FF XIV pay off in the end?
It seems like Square Enix are really eager (and hungry) to gain more players for their mmorpg game "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn". Because just recently Square Enix launched a free trail version (14-days) of Fantasy XIV. There will however be "some" limitations on available in-game activities in the free-trail version.
In case you wonder what those limitations might be. You can read more about it on the Lodes stone homepage). Square Enix has also added a reward system ("recruit a friend and earn rewards!") to A Realm Reborn.
And you can read all about it in the press release down below =)
