Final Fantasy 14 is an MMORPG with a design philosophy rather unlike many other examples of the genre. The director of the game, Yoshi-P, recently stressed that he wants players to enjoy the game however they wish, and it's a game with so much to do that it's very difficult to get bored.

However, it's possible to get a little burnt out or perhaps to feel like you're spending just a bit too much time on the game, and a big part of the game's design is the ability to leave it for a while and drop back in at a later date. There are campaigns for returning players every now and then, and lower leveled players get experience boosts and the like to help them catch up — this encourages players to play at their own pace.

How To Cancel Your Subscription

In order to cancel your subscription, you must log in to the Mog Station. You will be taken to a page where you can access everything you need to manage your Service Accounts and Final Fantasy 14 characters. This page will give you a quick overview of your accounts and let you add game time to your current Service Account.

• If you want to cancel your subscription, you must click the large Manage Service Options button just above the Service Status tab. You'll be taken to a very similar page with extra options available at the top that lets you access services such as additional in-game retainers, entering item codes, or managing your subscription renewals.
• Scroll down to the Service Account Status tab and you'll find the option labeled Cancel Subscription. When you click this you will be asked if you really mean to do this. Canceling your subscription merely stops the subscription from renewing, you can still play the game until your current subscription runs out and your characters and account will not be deleted.
• When you cancel your subscription, you will be asked the reason behind your decision.
• You can also cancel your Service Account here, but this will stop you from playing the game at all.

How To Resubscribe

Renewing your subscription is done in much the same way as canceling. You must make your way to the Manage Service Options tab of Mog Station and scroll down to the Service Account Status menu.

• There are two links that will take you to the subscription page. The link Add Subscription and the link asking you to sign up for recurring subscription payments will both take you to a page prompting you to fill in your payment details.
• Alternatively, you can use Game Time Cards or a paysafecard to add time to your Service Account. These options can be found in the same menu.

How Much Is Final Fantasy 14 A Month?

There are two subscription plans available for Final Fantasy 14, and they vary only slightly. A Standard Subscription allows you to make a total of eight characters per world with a maximum of 40 characters across every single world. In addition, with a Standard Subscription, you can pay for 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days at a time to minimize the number of payments. There are discounts for choosing the option to pay for 90 days or for 180 days.

An Entry Subscription on the other hand is sneakily named. It costs less than a Standard Subscription and allows you to make only one character per world and eight characters in total — but this is more than enough for the purposes of most players. In fact, the cost of an Entry Subscription for 180 days is exactly the same as buying 180 days on a Standard Subscription.
