Hardly any other MMO is praised as much for its story as Final Fantasy 14. Incredibly compelling in its own creation and resurrection story, the MMO knows how to keep its loyal community going. On YouTube you will find countless videos of gamers brought to tears, rooting for every second of the characters.
Now there’s a piece of this community-acclaimed story for free. Assuming you own or buy the base game.
Receive the Stormblood expansion for free
From now until May 8th at 3:59 p.m you get the second Final Fantasy 14 expansion called Stormblood. The prerequisite for this is that you have the Starter Edition. It costs 10 dollars and includes the first expansion, Heavensward, in addition to the basic game A Realm Reborn.
In terms of content, the free extension is directly linked to the Starter Edition.
But please notethat a monthly subscription is required to play the MMO. Depending on which subscription model you choose, the costs per month are between 11 and 14 dollars.
You can see what awaits you in Stormblood here in the teaser trailer:

What is Stormblood about?
After the events of the first expansion Heavensward, your character and the warriors of light are driven to the Far East. The Garlemald Empire has spread there and is trying to subjugate the city-states located there. Of course, they don’t put up with it and fight back to recapture the lost areas.
With the expansion there is no new playable people, but you can choose the classes (called jobs in FF14) red mage and samurai and polish your opponents’ feeding board properly with a combination of sword and magic or heavy sword combinations.
In our GameStar test, the expansion scored a good 84 points, auf Metacritic the press even gave it an average of 87.
Free trial version to try it out
Anyone who is not yet a fan of Final Fantasy 14, but is basically interested in the MMO, can take a look at the free trial throw. Here you don’t pay any subscription fees and you can play through the base game as well as the first Heavensward expansion.
So you can calmly consider whether the MMO is something for you and whether buying the Starter Edition and bagging the free expansion is worth it. Note, however, that the free upgrade promotion is only until May 8th runs.
