How To Group Up In The FFXIV Free Trial

It should be noted that there is no way for two players who are both utilizing the free trial to join up together, unfortunately. However, there is another way to group up in the free trial and that is for a player who has the paid version of the game to invite you to their party. You can then go about with them in the areas which you can and involve yourself with all of the various activities you can join for multiplayer together.

Whether you are simply roaming the world in the Aether data center which has recently been reopened for new players or completing ‘MSQs’ together. The reason that two people who are on the trial cannot join up in-game together was mainly as a deterrence to stop botters in the experience who would utilize the free trial of the game.

Final Fantasy XIV is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
