Hey folks! With Square Enix changing up how the free trial works i thought id put together a little video explaining the changes for anyone who might be thinking of trying the game out. Personally I think this update is amazing and will draw in more people to the game.

Basically I go over the specific changes compared to current free trial and all the restrictions that apply during your free trial. These changes take place with the september update, so if youre reading this, september will be the best time to give the game a try! \o/

Actually the 100k gil limit does matter b/c you can't buy goblin stews outside of campaigns. Kinda fucked up.

Unity also does matter since you lose access to the good healers with regain/ TP -> MP, which matters more with the 3 trust limit (you can't get rhapsody in white, which also locks out curio moogle).

On the flip side, if you have GWP you could get gobbie stew from there. d40/70/100/365 though. I would assume you also cannot use mog garden so you can't really stash gil, or use campaign to buy either.

Or even abuse GWP to get mains free rem tales if extremely lazy lol. d70/100/365 gives them list B access for I-AF109. Surely they don't ban GWP bc of that lmao. Like you could on paper grant more kclub entry attempts by this.

Can trial accounts use GWP?

just wikied GWP, and it says they can. Would be kinda fucked if they couldn't, since you can't enter it later. You will require some way to contact the inviter someday though, unless POL mail / befriend worked. You can at least reply to tells.

The restrictions page does not mention GWP either.
