Final Fantasy 14 Director Apologises for Endwalker Login Problems, Offers Free Play Time - IGN - IGN

Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida has apologized to players regarding login problems that have featured in the game since the early access launch of Endwalker.

"Currently, all Worlds across all regions have been hitting the login cap for extremely long periods of time, and the progression of login queues is being slowed dramatically," explained Yoshida in the post.

"Considering that we are asking players to wait in queues for extremely long periods of time and the ongoing situation making it difficult to play normally, we have decided that during the official release of Endwalker on December 7, we will be granting 7 days of free game time to all players who own the full version of the game and have an active subscription," explains Yoshida.

"This also includes players who are currently playing on the 30-day free play period included when registering the full version of the game and those with multiple accounts.

Prior to its early access release, Square Enix warned players that there could be a number of server issues with the game due to congestion.
