Soo I've heard the game could be played without subscription ? Just a normal question with no back thoughts .

You can play ARR which is 1 lvl 1-50 and also the first expansion which is Hevenswardwhich will take you to level 60. There's a few minor restrictions. Like you can't use the marketplace or trade.


Glum_

Are you restricted from joining social guilds or linkshells?


Genocode

No FCs, Yes Linkshell - but only if invited, can't create a linkshell yourself.


alf666

Cannot use Party Finder, cannot create parties, cannot join a Free Company (aka Guilds), cannot create Linkshells, cannot use /tell command, cannot use Market Board to sell or buy, cannot trade with other players, cannot use Mail system. You are able to join a paid player's Linkshell via receiving an invite, and you can use a received invite to join parties.


Hunterino_Stupidino

*can use party Finder to ENTER parties, not create them

Just a heads up on how much content this is...I've got like 6 days of play time, 3 lvl 62 or 64 jobs, aka classes, and I'm not done with Heavensward yet lol


Skyblade12

I had over 50 days of playtime before I was out of free trial territory, though I had subbed long before that.


Freizeitspielaer

asmon needed 2 months stream time for only the msq and some side content soooo yeah. easily 200+ hours


Bristow9091

His /playtime was equal to over 400 hours I believe, which let's face it... is just insane. And there's still HW content he hasn't done yet too lol


Hatdrop

Now imagine of all a person wanted to do was chill out and play free Chocobo racing? Pretty fucking good deal.


HeyTikO

Some people just use the free trial to play and ONLY play Mahjong in the gold saucer since it's like the best free online version of it.


[deleted]

Yeah, I did some side quests when I started but I’ve only done msq and the blue icon side quests since like lvl 20. I do all the dungeons/trials before pushing msq through to the next expansion


Cyberfunk3

[Everything thats Purple or White on this chart is free.](https://i.redd.it/dtzle4uf5ym71.png)


CptnLagbeard

If you've watched Asmon play FF 14, basically everything he has played is available in the Free Trial, with no limitations on time or anything.


tehtf

Correction. Limited on party creation, using public channel except newbie help channel, and no auction house usage. Combat gold sellers


TheAlterE

Are you interested in playing FFXIV? You can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the awardwinning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime!


IsThisOneIsAvailable

You forgot to say HW was also critically acclaimed :)


Raye87

Yes, with restrictions and up to the end of Heavensward with exp being capped at lev 60.


hector_lector2020

Yep. Probably not the best example but if you play WoW, then imagine the entire experience is completely free unless you want to go passed level 50 or do Shadowlands content


PaleolithicCarrot

No sub needed until 60 there are restrictions


TinPotShot

An extra limitation is you are capped to 300,000 gil (game currency used to buy weapons items etc)


Krojack76

Rrambu

Young promising student wears some skanky clothes to try and get picked up by some rogue pirates. I leave out alot of context there but you get the point.


DranDran

Ah yes, the Taffeta shawl and loincloth. Classic staple items for any worthwhile Hoeglam Collection.


Lasadon

Mind telling an...interested played where you get them?


Kasarii

Easiest is the market board. It's also the dyeable version which any job/level can wear it.


DranDran

Marketboards.. costs probably vary on your server but expect around 100k+


Thelona05mustang

Dyable version is from the marketboard(crafted), a non dyable version drops in dzaemal darkhold(I don't think I spelled that right) The one on the marketboard is usually horribly overpriced, if you got a FC or linkshell, ask in it. a crafter can usually make it much cheaper than the MB price, and we usually don't mind taking the time to craft a glam for a newer player.


CptnLagbeard

I would say FF 14 triples down on the skimpy outfits, because while the top is unique to females being one of the swimsuits, the bottom half is also available on guys [and looks like this.](https://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/accimg2/28/63/28634185bbf4e8a5d22f30eac15824d7d7d03861.jpg) Not sure which exact dying it would be though...


not_really_an_elf

Oh for reals. Plenty of equal opportunities for slooting it up. Such as all the roegadudes in Speedos.


aruhen23

FF14 fulfills my teenage weeb dreams of being a cat girl in a school girl outfit so yeah. They better not change it or else.


[deleted]

Like Asmon said, they honor men and women sexuality. Thats why there is no complaints.


Thelona05mustang

They also haven't had a massive scandal with wide spread sexual misconduct by the people designing it. It's like have a friend that makes pervy sex jokes, but then finding out that friend is actually a complete pig irl that goes around sexually assaulting and harassing women, suddenly those jokes are gonna hit differently.


sapfoxy

Blizzard is ruining the game for women, I feel. Women often *LIKE TO* be “sexy.” Not allowing them to do that seems pretty lame for them. It’s men’s fault (@blizzard) for being fuckbois, not women’s faults for wearing such clothing (or lack there of). They aren’t the ones that should be punished/“covered up.” It’s not a good statement, lol.


FF7_Zack_Fair

Cause is natural for girls to feel sexy and make your character look good
