Finally, players in the North American data centers are now able to utilize the four new worlds that launched alongside the new logical data center, named “Dynamis.” Launched on November 1, this addition will serve to further reduce congestion during peak periods for the ever-expanding player base with plans to expand again in the future.

If you still haven’t jumped into Final Fantasy XIV Online, now is a great time to do so. The expanded Free Trial now includes all content from A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward expansion (and updates through Patch 3.56), as well as an additional playable race (Au Ra), and three additional playable jobs (Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist). Free Trial players can enjoy hundreds of hours of gameplay and story experiences equivalent to two full Final Fantasy titles, without limit on playtime.
