As of now, Final Fantasy XI (FFXI) is not entirely free to play. However, it does offer a free trial for new players, which allows them to experience the game up to a certain point without having to pay for a subscription. The free trial typically includes a limited amount of playtime and access to certain features of the game.
In terms of the full version, FFXI is a subscription-based MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game). Players must pay a monthly subscription fee to continue playing after the free trial ends. The subscription cost can vary depending on the region and any active promotions.
To sum up:
1. Free Trial: Available, but with limitations.
2. Full Game: Requires a paid subscription.
If you’re interested in playing Final Fantasy XI, you would need to check the official website for the current status of the free trial and subscription details. Keep in mind that the game is quite old (released in 2002) and has seen various expansions and updates over the years.
