This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a new short interview with Eurogamer, director Naoki Yoshida revealed that Square Enix has no plans to make Final Fantasy 14 a free-to-play MMORPG, although the free trial could expand further.
Practically everyone knows that you can play Final Fantasy 14 for free until you reach level 60 (and soon at level 70) with two expansions, but this does not mean that the entire title will become free.
“Since a huge amount of time and money has been invested in expansion packs, revenue from expansion sales is still very important to continue making additional content of this magnitude.
We would like to constantly aim for the best also from a commercial point of view to continue to create a lot of content to taste”.
In addition to this, Square Enix probably does not want to introduce in Final Fantasy 14 monetization systems often discussed and criticized present in other free-to-play MMORPGs such as Battle Pass, gacha and advertising, preferring instead to leave the game intact.
Final Fantasy 14 is available on PC, PS4 and PS5, while it will arrive in spring 2024 on Xbox Series.
