I remember buying Final Fantasy XIV on Steam some years ago, and something about doing that made it so I completely missed out on the free trial. So now I'm not sure if I want to try to disassociate my Steam account from my Squeenix account and make a new one for the latter and see if that gives me access to the free version; or wait until I'm either comfortable paying the subscription or if a private server gets off the ground.
Final Fantasy XI private servers are alive and well in the meantime, and that's a game I still need to experience as well. Also PSO Blue Burst.
The FFXIV free trial let's you play like the first 3 expansions (heavensward, stormblood, shadowbringers) without paying a dime and with no time limit (there are some limitations like how much in game currency you can amass and who you can private message). The downside is that if you buy the game you don't qualify for the free trial anymore.
Sadly the Steam version can't be disassociated from your account so you're screwed there. But if you really wanna try out the game then just make a new trial account, you just need an email address for it and that's it. Just make sure you don't buy the game on that account as that will void the free trial and ask you for a sub.
The free trial is worth it for the content it provides with such little commitment.
Edit: I forgot to say that the free trial gets updated so they add in a new expansion to it whenever they release the newest one. So for example when they release the expansion after Dawntrail the free trial will be updated to contain the first 4 expansions (heavensward, stormblood, shadowbringers and endwalker).
Okay, cool. That sounds like the way to go. I'll just use a different account and email for the free trial, then switch back to my main if I ever start a subscription.
