Wish my auth app wasn't stuck on my old phone that doesn't want to turn on anymore. Kept me from redeeming that free Stormblood a couple months ago, probably gonna keep me from jumping into this Free Play period too.

Dhalphirdon't you open that trapdooryou're a fool if you dareRegistered Userregular
the free trial's going up to 70 with both heavensward and stormblood content soon so no where near the end of it at level 20 in the main story requirements
that's gonna be so insane bc it's gonna include Eureka which is like...
You could legit play the trial for fucking ever and it would take you a very long ass time to run out of Content.
realistically it's the maximum Gil limit and social limitations that are going to drive most people off of the free trial long before they ever reach the story end of it

anecdotally I don't know a single new player who made it to the end of the previous free trial in heavensward without subscribing just to be able to lift the social limitations, let alone all the way to the end of stormblood
Choosing your Grand Company will have made the quest to get your mount available. If you look at the reward for going back to the Rising Sands you should see some currency for whichever GC you chose. It should be enough that you can then go back to your GC and buy the license for the mount instead of spending a bunch of time farming fates.
After you have finished your level 30 class quest and a particular level 20 MSQ quest you will be able to take a quest that unlocks Black Mage. That gives you a stone that goes into the right side of your character sheet. You will have to redo your skill buttons, but it will be worth it.
Have fun and take some time to check out the other Classes/Jobs.

I've seen a few people around in heavensward patch stuff who are on a quest to do all the content in the free trial without subbing, no one I personally know though
The game went on sale before I reached Heavensward, that was why I bought it when I did. I had one Job at 60 and another deep into the 50s and that was just because I was doing MSQ roulette every day. I hadn't even unlocked Crystal Tower yet.
Being able to hold more than 300k gil, being able to use the Marketboard and random "Join my FC" requests was certainly a change. (Retainers and the Mail with glamour pieces was also a nice change.)
Really might be my favorite Alliance Raid in the game. All of the bosses were really cool, the setting is dope, the music is great, there were lots of interesting mechanics but none of them were overly punishing or overwhelming or tedious. Nophica, Halone, and Menphina all had great designs, too.
I guess not having a retainer doesn't matter all that much if you're still leveling, but I legit can't imagine playing endgame without a retainer.
Amusingly I was the opposite. I feel like I used mine much more as I was leveling. Though a good part of that is that didn't bother with gathering/crafting this last expac, so they're all still at 80.

My retainers are mostly full of time limited consumable emotes, dyes, misc relic weapon / zone stuff like bozja coins and eureka crystals, current level materia and materia trade-ins, furniture, misc mats for whatever I'm marketboard crafting, misc stuff like grand company squad training manuals, misc stuff like gatherer XP boost manuals, etc. Just lots of junk that's too useful to throw away but I don't really wanna sell/re-earn.
Also, did the Euphrosyne raid last night and Menphina's theme definitely shot up to top 5 favorite songs in the game.
Dedicated to moonlight immediately shot up to be probably my personal favorite song in the game
(Scream is my current close second)
It's hard cause there's too much good music in the game.
Pa-Paya (Holiday stuff)
Under the Weight (Titan)
A Light in the Storm (Pharos Sirius)
Oblivion (Shiva)
Ink Long Dry (Great Gubal Library)
Wing and a Prayer (Stormblood fun lil' song that was surprisingly hard to track down)
Rencounter (Shadowbringers main battle theme)
What Angel Wakes (Titania)
To The Edge (Warrior of Light)
Endwalker (main Endwalker theme but not the extended trailer version)
Close in the Distance (Ultima Thule)
With Hearts Aligned (Endsinger)
Hic Svnt Leones (Hesperos)
Dedicated to Moonlight (Menphina)
Also a bunch of previous FF songs that got reworked into FF14
Now I Know The Truth (Doga and Unei's theme from FF3)
Eternal Wind (from FF3)
Vamo' alla Flamenco (from FF9)
The Empty (Blue Fields from FF8)
etc
Should be. Expect 6.5 in early October, with UK fanfest in late October likely carrying the release date for 6.55 and the last of the story content/lead-up to Dawntrail
Man, the Manderville relic weapon is wayyyyy easier than like, literally any other relic weapon. Kinda into it. Pretty much just do the Manderville quests as they come, which I was gonna do anyway, and turn in 1500 tomes per stage, which you already get tons of from doing roulettes and whatnot (and even more now that the Moogle tomestone grind is on).

It's a *little* gnarlier on my alt, starting from the very first level 50 quest when I'm already level 90, so... I deffo feel for people who skipped the Hildibrand quests. My advice to sprouts *now* would be "just do them, even if you think they're cringe."
(I did them all on-level with my main, so, on my main it was just like "oh neat more SHENANIGAEIN and then I just dump tomestones at this)
But basically they just front-loaded the grind into something that most people will have done anyway.
1500 tomestones is still a decent amount, though I'm really looking forward to how quickly I'll be able to collect them all in Dawntrail. Anima weapons take far more than 6000 poetics.
Answers being on the irregular tomestone list finally motivated me to finish Binding Coils so I could craft it myself instead. I had stopped at Nael before this, and it unfortunately looks like I'll need to go back and farm that one for a bit until I can get two faded rolls to drop. It is funny just how quickly Twintania dies now, though, especially since when I first fought it I had to wait out the stun.
"Choose ONE character whom you would like to be featured in a side story" had me really thinking. My first thought was Sadu, but ultimately I went with Gaia. It's a tragedy she's locked behind raid content.
It's a little murkier for capstone quests but I think I'd be fine with making more of the normal raids "required reading" in order to bring some characters into the proper fold so we stop with this mysteriously missing character issue we keep hitting.

Probably a ton more I'm forgetting
You are, the melody that gets reused in different arrangements throughout pandaemonium's various pieces of music.
It's so damn catchy!
"Here be lions*"
*Pandaemonium may not actually contain lions.

there's a real fucked up horse tho
