Final Fantasy XIV is dramatically expanding the scope of its free trial. Soon, players jumping into Square Enix's massive MMORPG will be able to raise characters up to level 60 and play all story content through Heavensward, as well as some of the expansions that have launched in patches up to 3.56.

That's a staggering amount of content in a free trial for one of the best MMOs on the market. The free trial will include everything mentioned above, which includes the jobs and playable Au Ra introduced in Heavensward. You'd have needed to own the expansion to see this content before now. Square Enix says owners of A Realm Reborn and the Starter Edition will have their games' content updated to include this free content as well, in case anyone was worried they'd be left out of the newly expanded free trial content.

Being that it's still a free trial for a game with a premium subscription, there are limits on what you can do gratis in Final Fantasy XIV - joining Free Companies, forming parties, and using the auction house are all activities reserved for paying customers.
