Hey, Daily Quest readers! If you’ve been taking a break from the Scions and your chocobo is starting to wonder where you went, Square Enix just gave you the perfect excuse to come back. A new Final Fantasy 14 Free Login Campaign is officially live, offering lapsed players a 96-hour window to catch up on the latest chaos in Eorzea—for free.
This couldn't have come at a more interesting time. The community has been weathering some literal storms lately, but with the Arcadion's final Savage tier now conquered and new cosmic adventures on the horizon, the vibe in-game is shifting from "survival mode" to "expansion hype."
The Details: How to Claim Your 4 Free Days
If you haven't had an active subscription for at least 30 days, you’re eligible. Here is the sit-rep:
Campaign Window: Friday, January 9, 2026, to Monday, February 9, 2026 (9:59 AM ET).
The Timer: You get 96 hours (4 days) of play time. Warning: The clock starts the second you log into the game launcher, so make sure your schedule is clear before you hit "Play."
Cost After Trial: If you decide to stay, subscriptions start at $12.99/month via the Mog Station.
Why Now? Surviving the DDoS Storm
It’s been a rough start to 2026 for the North American data centers. Since the fall of 2025, persistent DDoS attacks have plagued the servers, intensifying right as the Arcadion: Heavyweight (Savage) raid tier launched on January 6.
Raid teams reported dozens of disconnections, some losing world-first opportunities due to server lag. However, as of January 8, the attacks have largely subsided. With the "Heavyweight" raids now cleared by the top teams (shoutout to team Lucrezia for the win!), the servers are stabilizing just in time for the free login crowd.
What’s New in Eorzea?
If you log in today, here is what is waiting for you:
Heavensturn Event (Ends Jan 15): Celebrate the "Year of the Horse." Complete the quest "Seize The Neigh" in Limsa Lominsa to snag the adorable Uma-no-Unicolt minion.
Patch 7.4 Content: Dive into the Into the Mist MSQ, explore the Mistwake dungeon, or face the high-speed Hell on Rails trial.
The Glamour Revolution: Role and level restrictions on armor have finally been removed! You can now glamour almost any piece of gear regardless of your current job (excluding weapons).
2026 Roadmap: The Road to FanFest
| Update | Expected Date | Key Features |
| Patch 7.41 | Mid-January 2026 | Cosmic Exploration: New planet (Oizys), Cosmic Tool upgrades, and Phantom Weapons. |

Final Verdict: Is it Worth the Return?
With Patch 7.41 dropping any day now—featuring the twin-ringed planet of Oizys for the crafters and gatherers—this is the best "content gap" filler we've had in a while. Whether you're here to finish the Arcadion story or just want to dress your Black Mage like a Paladin, those 96 hours will go by fast.
