FFXIV is not a free-to-play title, although there is a free trial players can use to discover the game. Here's everything you need to know about the subscription costs.

How much does FFXIV subscription cost, and what differences are there?

If you're looking to get into Final Fantasy XIV, you might be looking for some information about the subscription options given the game is not free-to-play. Don't worry, we got you covered!

Firstly, it should be noted that the Free Trial of the game is playable from A Realm Reborn up to the end of the Heavensward expansion — hundreds of main story quests, many more sidequests, and ten different raids. The free trial will take you all the way up to Level 60.

Ultimately, this could end up at over 200 hours of play. Not bad for no cost!  

After that, there's two subscription options available for FFXIV — Entry and Standard.

What this means is that if you're planning on creating a second character on the same server as your current character, you will need the Standard subscription.

Before you grow concerned, remember that unlike other MMORPGs, you can play all classes and all jobs on a single character in FFXIV, switching between them in-game with a simple press of a few buttons.

You mean over 200 hours of game time. For a free trial putting at least or over 200 hours in good, yes indeed. The cost is somewhat of an issue,may not be cheap, but I guess one can get by with a good game like this, maybe some discounts would be nice.

OMG. the game cost, THEN add $155.88 plus tax a year for the game. That is a game-breaker cost for me.
