Good news for early adopters of Square Enix's latest foray into the MMO genre. Final Fantasy XIV's free 30 day trial period has been extended by an additional 30 days, making it a total of two whole months of free play.

Square Enix announced the news today as a way of saying thanks to the community for being so vocal and providing the team with the kind of feedback needed to improve the game.

"First of all, we would like to thank you for joining us in the realm of Eorzea, and hope you are enjoying your adventures.

"Since the official launch of service on September 30, 2010, we have received a wealth of constructive feedback from the FINAL FANTASY XIV community, and the development and management teams would like to take this opportunity to express their sincerest gratitude.

"Considering the nature of much of the feedback we received, however, and the current state of the game, we have decided to extend the free trial period for all users."

Users that register their accounts before October 25 23:59 PDT will be eligible for the extension, as will players with multiple accounts and players who have already received notification via email that the trial period is over.
