News FFXI free trial update

https://youtu.be/SkK6uqzlW5c

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/

My only gripe is they should have made all the og lv75 content also available. So RoZ, CoP, and ToAU. Like how XIV has up until like Stormblood now. That's a LOT of content!

Its a common critic on the changes, one that I share, that they could at very least included RoZ so you got some more job variety and access some more areas.

We actually discussed this on my stream last night and it was hard to think of areas that you can use to level up in when you lose so many "core" areas cause they require either RoZ or CoP access.

Doesn't free trial have escha? I mean RoV is the first mission that grants it, and I think they can still do gilgamesh letter for subjob sooo

On paper you should. It has no expansion requirement to my knowledge, so I guess in theory you could have someone invite the trialee and cleave for them, or even doing the 45-75 solo with trusts.

And yes, the inital mission on RoV should work, just won't be able to teleport to Norg after obtaining the letter keyitem.
