► An occupied city-state located in a mountainous region of eastern Aldenard. The nation was plunged into chaos twenty years ago when its masses rose up in rebellion against the tyranny of the mad king Theodoric. However, unbeknownst to many, it was none other than the Garlean Empire that had been pulling the strings from the shadows the entire time. They quickly set about moving in to take control of Ala Mhigo as anarchy reigned, and have remained in control of the nation for the past twenty years.
► Upon the eastern banks of Othard lies Doma, the lands from which the ninja and samurai hail. Invaded twenty-five years ago by the Garlean Empire in their relentless effort to expand their borders, this once-peaceful nation now struggles under the imperial yoke. In the wake of a recent large-scale uprising that ended in failure, a majority of the civilians have been stripped of even their most fundamental freedoms.

♦ Can I join ResetEra's free company (FC/guild)?
Yes, all players are welcome to apply. You don't need to be any specific level. The FC is located on the server Ultros. Scroll down to the free company section for details on how to join.
♦ Is there a free-trial?
There is a free trial with unlimited play time for the vanilla game (FFXIV: A Realm Reborn) up to Lv35, with restrictions. It's available on PlayStation (no PS+ required), Windows, and Steam. All servers are cross-platform. If you enjoyed the trial, you can purchase the full game and continue playing from right where you left off.
Also check out the Recruit-a-Friend Campaign if you're a new player! Feel free to ask for an invite from a current player so that both of you can receive bonus rewards.

♦ Do I need to own A Realm Reborn and Heavensward to play Stormblood?
Yes. Every edition of Stormblood will also include the first expansion Heavensward. So you're set if you have just ARR and SB.
♦ Do I need to purchase Stormblood for each of the platforms that I currently play FFXIV on?
Yes. For example: You play FFXIV on PC and PS4 and wish to play the expansion on both of those platforms, then you would need to purchase and register Stormblood for both PC and PS4.
♦ I bought and play FFXIV on Steam. Do I need to purchase Stormblood on Steam to upgrade my account?
Yes, you do as the Steam and Windows versions of FFXIV: ARR have different play entitlements. The registration code that comes with the purchase of the Steam version of FFXIV is a Steam-specific play entitlement. If you purchased the game via Steam and set up your service account using the Steam-included code then you cannot use a non-Steam version of Stormblood to add the expansion to your existing account.
♦ What are the in-game requirements for accessing Stormblood content?
You must have a Lv60 character that has completed all the Main Scenario Quests from patch 2.0 ARR to patch 3.5 HW. However— you can still acquire the Red Mage and Samurai jobs as long as you have Stormblood and also reached Lv50 on one job.
♦ I want to skip all these Main Scenario Quests!
There are Scenario Shortcut items available for purchase on Mog Station's optional items shop. These items will flag all MSQ up to patch 2.55's Before the Dawn (ARR ~ $18) or patch 3.56's The Far Edge of Fate (ARR+HW ~ $25) as complete. You'll also automatically gain a chocobo mount and will be set to your starting city-state's grand company. This item will not boost your job levels.
♦ I want to skip all this leveling!
There are Job Level-boost items available for purchase ($25) on Mog Station's optional items shop. This item will boost a single job of your choice to Lv60 and include a full set of Lv60 gear. You'll also automatically flag the job quests as complete and learn all the job's actions. This item will not flag any MSQ as complete.
♦ I'm getting launcher errors and I'm unable to patch download or version check the game!
Try changing your DNS to one in Japan (221.186.113.106) or to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). If that doesn't work, you can also try using a VPN.
♦♦ Ultros has a restriction on when new characters can be added to the server. Your best bet is to try from midnight to early morning hours. Ultros prime time is in the evening for NA. Players from other regions might prefer servers that are closer to their location due to latency and time zone. ♦♦
