Summary

  • Final Fantasy 14's next Free Login Campaign will let inactive players return to the game for four days until October 31.
  • The free period ends at 11:59 PM PDT on the fourth day, so participants will want to start early to get as much free time as possible.
  • With the Moogle Treasure Trove, Halloween event, and Fall Guys collaboration all happening this month, now is the perfect time for lapsed players to return.

Final Fantasy 14 has brought back its Free Login Campaign, allowing players with lapsed subscriptions to return to the game for four days during the play period. From now until October 31, fans who currently have inactive Final Fantasy 14 accounts can return to Eorzea for a limited time, provided they qualify for the campaign.

The Free Login Campaign is a reoccurring event in Final Fantasy 14 that usually runs a couple of times a year. Final Fantasy 14 last held this event in the months leading up to the release of Dawntrail in July to help prepare players for the expansion’s launch.

Now, Final Fantasy 14 is bringing back the Free Login Campaign once again. Until October 31, players with inactive subscriptions can log into Final Fantasy 14 and play for up to four days. There are no special steps needed to begin this campaign. So long as they own Final Fantasy 14, and their account has been inactive for at least 30 days, eligible fans should be able to log in through the client and begin their free play time.

How to Participate in the FF14 Free Login Campaign

  • To qualify for the campaign, one must meet the following requirements:
    • Players must own Final Fantasy 14 and have a registered account.
    • Registered service accounts must be inactive for at least 30 days, and must remain inactive during the campaign period (October 11 through October 31 at 7:59 AM PDT).
  • Launch the Final Fantasy 14 client and log in.
  • Enjoy four days of free playtime that begin immediately upon login.
    • The play period ends at 11:59 PM PDT on the fourth day.

There are a few things eligible fans should consider before beginning their Free Login Campaign, however. Their free play time ends at 11:59 PM PDT on the fourth day, meaning the earlier players log in on the first day, the more they get out of the campaign. Additionally, buying a subscription partway through their free playtime disqualifies them from the rest of the campaign, so fans who plan to keep playing afterward should renew their subs once their days are over so they can reap the full benefit of the event. Additionally, players who don't own the game can't participate, though they can play Final Fantasy 14's nearly-unlimited free trial instead.

Now is a great time to capitalize on this free playtime. The Moogle Treasure Trove is back in Final Fantasy 14 until the launch of Patch 7.1 in mid-November, and the All Saints’ Wake Halloween event runs from October 18 through November 4. The Fall Guys collaboration also returns to Final Fantasy 14 on October 23, so players who wait for the last week of the Free Login Campaign can participate in all three of these events at once.
