Yoshida also touched on the game’s first graphical update set to accompany the 7.0 patch. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida said during a recent livestream broadcast that the coveted free trial will return on February 22. This allowed the developer and publisher to resume sales of Final Fantasy XIV on January 25 but the free trial remained on the sidelines. Square Enix did expedite server expansion plans a bit and opened a new data center two weeks earlier to help alleviate the issue. One would think that deploying more servers would solve the problem, but it wasn’t that easy given the current semiconductor shortage. Simply put, the game’s fourth expansion pack was so well-received that Square Enix’s servers became overloaded and the company elected to suspend sales until it could get a grip on the issue. Square Enix in December halted sales of Final Fantasy XIV due to the immense popularity of the latest expansion, Endwalker. It grants access to the entirety of A Real Reborn as well as the Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free, with no restrictions on playtime. In brief: Final Fantasy XIV's free trial is one of the best bargains in gaming.
