This probably has been said before, but raising the cap to 60 will allow more time for people to decide if they want to buy the game or not.

Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime?
Yeah, that's the boat I'm in. My original account from 3 or 4 years ago I think hit 15. Not paying to activate it when I can just level a trial to 60 and spend whatever to upgrade it if I want because I know it'll take me more than a couple months to hit 60 (since I won't be playing it as much as others).
Hmm. The twitter post says Free Trial is extended to cover those. But free trials are time limited, no? From the title I gathered it's Free to play, up to 60. So even if your sub has expired, you can continue to play for free until you hit 60.
I tried it, but it's saying a subscription is needed if I want to install the game. So the title is very misleading. Only applies to new accounts, or then the patch is not live yet that makes it free to play.
I have the starter edition, up to 30. I tried to like this game but I really couldn't, people kept telling me the good stuff comes later after what the trial offered.
I guess I'll give it another chance! I love these news.
I subbed to the game like 3 years ago I think. Played it like a month then quit. It was going all nice then suddenly, a quest took me to a dungeon.
First dungeon. Then I waited in LFG waited and waited for a few days to no avail. Then I quit. I really really really want to play this game.
Especially living in Japan and not playing this or dragon quest is like an insult. And what I realized was you could switch the language to English and keep playing on Jap servers.
I will give it another go after this August 11 revamp. If it is F2P. I would like to start with a new account.
Imo I think launching this before they condensed ARR is a total shitshow of an idea lol. I would say the vast majority of people who try the game and shit on it usually quit somewhere in early-mid ARR. I've played consistently for like the last 2-3 years with no breaks now (maybe some hours laid off to try WoW or do something else, but my sub has stayed rolling). I quit easily 3 or 4 times in ARR alone because it was conflicting my brain "I love FF, but this is so fucking boring and I'm just watching a GCD rolling 24/7 whilst I only have 3 buttons to press. And every one of these like 400 quests is the same shit." Because the quest bloat is atrocious and most cutscenes/characters aren't voiced in ARR either. The standard of storytelling before lvl 50 is just hilariously inferior to anything you may have ever experienced. On the upside, you can queue for frontlines in the evenings from lvl 30, PvP didn't exist when I started and when it finally did, you had to be max level to do it.
I'll do many of you a favour, the game really is amazing, but wait until they do the ARR revamp because you will probably quit after your second run of Sastasha otherwise and it'll scar your opinion of an amazing game for years to come.
