Is Final Fantasy 14 not free anymore?

No, Final Fantasy XIV is not entirely free, but it has an extremely generous, unlimited-time Free Trial that lets you play the base game (A Realm Reborn) and the first two expansions (Heavensward and Stormblood) up to level 70 with most content, though with some social and market restrictions; once you buy the game and expansions and subscribe, you pay a monthly fee. The Free Trial is separate from paid subscriptions, so you don't pay until you decide to buy the full game and continue past level 70 content.

Why is FF15 all male?

Final Fantasy XV (FFXV) features an all-male main party to create a "boys' trip" atmosphere, focusing on male camaraderie and a "boys will be boys" dynamic, with director Hajime Tabata explaining it felt more "approachable" and allowed for a more natural portrayal of their bond without the influence of a female presence changing their behavior, aiming for a sincere, "bromance" feel reminiscent of films like Stand By Me.

Is FF14 noob friendly?

Yes, Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) is widely considered very noob-friendly, especially for new MMO players, thanks to its extensive Main Scenario Quest (MSQ) that gradually introduces mechanics, helpful new player systems (like the "sprout" icon and Mentor system), and a largely welcoming community, plus recent additions like NPC Trust system for dungeons, making solo play more accessible. While it involves a significant story (which means lots of reading and playing through), the game eases you in, and you learn classes slowly, so you'll be ready for multiplayer content by the time you reach it.
