Absolutely: you have a few limits but you can play until level 70 (Stormblood end) for free with no time limit. It's not a scam, it's just that FF14 is so successful (it's the only MMO RPG that, in DPS class I could do a raid at 1 A.M and not wait for long as example).

Why does FFXIV cost money?

The two jobs of post-play or post-sale payments to a company is to (1) pay off the initial development, and (2) make profit such that new content development is possible. FFXIV opted for subscription, and will continue to do so, basically because they want to keep a publishing calendar, and that's the best way.

How does the free trial work?

Free trials work by letting you use a product or service for free for a limited time (e.g., 7, 14, 30 days) to experience its value before paying, often requiring signup with an email and sometimes payment info for automatic conversion, which means you get charged if you don't cancel before the trial ends. Companies use them to build confidence, let you "try before you buy," and convert leads by showcasing features, though some trials limit features or require a credit card for auto-renewal, creating urgency to cancel.

Is FF14 noob friendly?

Almost every class is good for beginners. Tank classes are easier than they are in most MMOs, though tank "pressure" is still totally a thing. Most of the dps classes are pretty simple, except for the ones added later that you can't unlock until a higher level anyway. I like Lancer as a starting DPS class.
