Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Free Login Weekend Has Begun

July 18, 2014 by Tony Ponce

Give the Defenders of Eorzea update a spin through July 20.

Last week, Square Enix updated its MMO Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn with the v2.3 patch, Defenders of Eorzea. To celebrate the new features, users can sign in for free all weekend until midnight on July 20, Pacific time (that's 3:00 AM Monday morning for players on the East Coast). To be eligible, you'll have to have previously purchased and registered a copy of the game and your service account must be inactive during the promo.

Defenders of Eorzea opens up several new scenarios, like Frontline, a 72-player PVP that places you in the role of a mercenary, or the Crystal Towers, a follow-up to the Labyrinth of the Ancients. Of course, you can also just take it easy and compete in Chocobo Racing.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is available on Windows, PS3, and PS4. Check the full free weekend press release below.
