Remember a few years ago when I announced that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn was my first MMORPG?
I did keep playing it after my free 30 days and made some progress through the story, but I ended up quitting. Online games really aren’t my thing.
Yet I still hear people talk about how the main story for Final Fantasy XIV is actually pretty good, possibly the sort of story you want if you miss the old Final Fantasy games.
They recently did a promotion where inactive players could rejoin the game and play for four days for free. Since it’s been so long, I made a new character, but this time I think I’m going to really stick with it and see how Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn’s story turns out.
Or I could end up sidetracked by the Gold Saucer again. We’ll see.
Have you played Final Fantasy XIV? If you’re primarily a single-player fan, like I am, are there any MMORPGs that won you over with their stories?

Why not just get the 30-day free trial again?
Is that even possible? Once you’ve done the 30-day free trial, I don’t think you can do it again… unless you were going to buy a new copy of the game, which would defeat the purpose.
I dunno what you need to give them to do the trial.
New e-mail address?
Looks like if you used a new email address to make a new Square Enix account, you could manage it… but since free trials are capped at level 35 and have other restrictions, I don’t see much of an advantage over going with the 4-day promo and then getting a regular subscription.
30 > 4.
If your level is capped at 35, you won’t be able to progress in the story past that point.
Plus… you’d probably need to buy a new copy of the game to keep playing. Not just the subscription fee, buying the game again as well.
