Current Events > What's the best way to start in FFXIV

(+) Yeah! (+)

So I just saw a $10 starter bundle on PSN that supposedly includes 30-day access

But I also heard that it became F2P up to a certain level

So which one is it exactly

And is that starter bundle actually worth it

Just looked up the 11.99 bundle or whatever. That's just the base game. The base game is cool. But you'll want to play the two expansions as well. Best bet for that is the 60 dollar bundle that includes the base game and both the expansions.

FF14 is a cool game. It had a lot of "oh shit this is awesome" moments. Fighting Ifrit, Ramauh, tanking Gilgamesh on the Big Bridge as a remix of the classic song blasts, going into Matoya's cavern and hearing the music. If you're looking for an MMO you really can't go wrong with this.

It appears they offer a free trial on PSN though. I'd maybe download that and try it out. If you like it just splurge on the 60 buck pack.

What I meant by F2P was that apparently they made it now where you can play up to a certain level, is that still true?
