Square Enix suspends sales of Final Fantasy 14

Due to the high number of connected players, especially during peak hours, the standby time is very long and the capacity of the servers is constantly high, which is why we have decided to suspend the sale and the final Fantasy 14 starter version. Full version shippingSays producer and director Naoki Yoshida Lodestone. This is definitely a temporary measure to prevent the situation from getting worse, however it is wonderful, especially since Square Enix will stop all new advertising campaigns.

Naoki Yoshida says it is no longer possible to register for the free trial. In addition, those who are already using the free trial can only sign in early in the morning or late at night, giving preference to purchasers. “Updates for expansion sales and the Digital Collector’s version will continue to be available for purchase, so existing players can sign up and upgrade to extensions.“, Clarifies in the press release.

In addition, since congestion has not eased since the beginning of December, Square Enix will finally offer adventurers 14 extra free days, not 7 days as previously announced. This offer is valid for those who have the full game and active subscription until 9am on Tuesday 21st December.

So the doors will be closed until further notice for newcomers, but there is no doubt that delaying the 6.05 update and its raid on the Pantomonium limbo (unfortunate) will delay the much-anticipated content by highly invested guilds. With the exception of unforeseen events, it has been announced that this announcement will be made on January 4, 2022.
