Final Fantasy 14 Offers Returning Players Tons of Free Playtime

Final Fantasy XIV's Free Login Campaign Returns!

Square Enix has re-launched its popular Free Login Campaign for Final Fantasy XIV, giving players with inactive accounts a chance to return to Eorzea for a limited time. This campaign, running from January 9th to February 6th, 2025, offers four consecutive days of free gameplay on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

The campaign's timing coincides nicely with the recent release of Patch 7.15, featuring new side quests within the Dawntrail expansion, including the return of the Hildibrand storyline and a fresh Custom Delivery client. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida's New Year's message also teased upcoming content, including Patches 7.2 and 7.3 in 2025, and offered a cryptic hint regarding Dawntrail's narrative direction.

Eligibility for the Free Login Campaign requires a previously purchased and registered Final Fantasy XIV account that has been inactive for at least 30 days prior to the campaign start. Accounts suspended or canceled due to Terms of Service violations are ineligible. The four-day play timer begins upon logging into the game launcher. Players can verify their eligibility through the Mog Station.

While enjoying this free return, players can also participate in the Heavensturn event (until January 16th) to earn a reward minion, and anticipate the release of Patch 7.16 on January 21st, concluding the Dawntrail Role Quest series. This free period provides a perfect opportunity for lapsed players to catch up on the Dawntrail storyline before the arrival of Patch 7.2. The future of Dawntrail remains shrouded in mystery, leaving players eagerly awaiting Square Enix's next reveal.
