Looking ahead to the upcoming expansion for FFXIV, where our brave heroes embark on a new adventure in Eorzea’s uncharted territory, this is an excellent moment to explore why the Square Enix MMO has garnered such deep affection. With an extensive range of activities and a profoundly engaging storyline, an ongoing FFXIV sale offers the chance to enjoy hundreds of hours of gameplay for less than half the price of a typical game.
You can’t browse the internet without encountering references to FFXIV as the “critically acclaimed MMORPG” with its “award-winning” expansions. Although this catchphrase has become a meme among players, its origins are entirely justified. Most players readily attest to their own feelings and experiences supporting these claims.
Over the past decade, FFXIV has cultivated a wealth of potential, thanks in part to its rebirth. Through its core game and four expansions, Final Fantasy XIV introduces a cast of characters who weave in and out of the narrative, each having their moments to shine and develop independently.
While each expansion tells a unique story, they all build upon the foundations of previous narratives and often set the stage for future content. This creates a rewarding experience that few stories, whether in games or elsewhere, can match, providing more with each chapter you traverse. While Shadowbringers and Endwalker are highly praised, their success is built on the groundwork laid by their predecessors.
It’s not a flawless game by any means – the initial pacing is notably slow, but if you invest in those early adventures, there’s still much to love, enhancing your enjoyment of later expansions. The overall journey is undeniably enchanting, and few games make you care as deeply about both their heroes and villains, with characters like Emet-Selch and Zenos yae Galvus standing out as intriguing antagonists.
With Endwalker concluding the game’s first overarching narrative arc and a new adventure starting in Dawntrail, now is the perfect moment to get involved. Start now, and you’ll have ample time to catch up before our new adventure commences. If you’re a free trial player looking to upgrade, this discount offers a fantastic opportunity.
The FFXIV sale is active from October 19 to November 1, with the Final Fantasy XIV Complete package at 50% off. This package includes the base game and all four expansions, along with 30 days of playtime, available for $29.99. If you already have the previous expansions, FFXIV Endwalker is also available at a 50% discount, priced at $19.99. In the United States, the FFXIV Complete Collector’s Edition, which includes all expansions and in-game bonus items, is available for $69.99.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the FFXIV free trial now includes Heavensward and Stormblood, allowing you to play up to level 70 with no playtime restrictions. Although some quality-of-life features are limited, it’s an excellent way to test the waters. If you enjoy what you experience and wish to complete the story before FFXIV Dawntrail arrives in 2024, this is an ideal opportunity.
