You'll need to go through Square Enix's website to get the PC version.
If you're looking to jump into the free trial, there currently isn't one available on Steam. Considering many fans believe Final Fantasy XIV has the best story in the series, that's a hell of an easy download to make. You're getting a full game and a meaty expansion with just a download. There will still be restrictions on what free trial users can buy with in-game currency, but you really cannot complain about the offerings. This brings the total amount of options up to 13 for the free trial, which is actually more than the base game launched with. Extra jobs will also be available in the form of the Astrologian, Dark Knight, and Machinist. Players will be able to select the Au'Ra race along with the Hyur, Elezen, Lalafell, Miqo'te, and Roegadyn. RELATED: Final Fantasy XIV: The Best Classes For Beginners
#FINAL FANTASY XIV HEAVENSWARD PATCH#
If you want to know exactly how much of Heavensward will be available, producer Naoki Yoshida stated it will be "up to patch 3.56." That was released roughly three years ago, but it contained a ton of great stuff. The patch is said to release on August 11, 2020, and will bring with it a plethora of changes to the base game along with the extended trial. That's roughly 100 hours of content for the low price of nothing. After trimming back some of the main quests to make them more streamlined, Square Enix has announced that the 5.3 patch for its mega-popular MMO will extend the free trial areas up to the Heavensward expansion. Thankfully, Final Fantasy XIV is going to make it easier for newcomers to get sucked in. It's not bad for the price, but it is a lot to ask upfront. For $15 a month (typically speaking), you can escape your real-life and live in a fantasy world with nearly endless amounts of content. They not only require a ton of hours to get to a comfortable spot, but they have a monthly cost associated with them. MMORPGs can be a real daunting task for many players.
