Final Fantasy XIV-specific things to know

FFXIV subscriptions work differently depending on your platform and region. These tips cover important details specific to this service.

Characters remain saved for 90 days
Your character data and progress are preserved for 90 days after cancellation, so you can reactivate without losing anything if you return.
Entry vs Standard subscription differences
Entry subscriptions limit you to one character per world, while Standard allows eight. Make sure you're cancelling the right tier.
Game time cards don't auto-renew
If you paid with a game time card instead of recurring billing, your subscription will automatically end when the time expires.
Free login campaigns occasionally available
Square Enix sometimes offers free login periods for former subscribers, so watch for those if you want to check out new content.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

A few things that might affect your cancellation timing or save you some hassle later.

1. Check which platform bills you

Make sure you're cancelling through the right platform. Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox subscribers can't cancel through Mog Station - they need to use their respective store subscriptions.

2. Access continues until billing period ends

You can keep playing until your current subscription period expires, even after cancelling auto-renewal. No need to wait until the last minute.

3. Consider the upcoming patch schedule

FFXIV releases major content updates every 3-4 months. Check the patch roadmap to see if new content is coming soon that might interest you.

Other options to consider

If cost or time is the issue, you might be able to adjust your subscription instead of cancelling completely.

Switch to Entry subscription

If you're on the Standard plan but only play one character, the Entry subscription costs less per month.

Entry tier allows one character per world for a lower monthly fee, while Standard allows up to eight characters per world.

Alternative ways to cancel Final Fantasy XIV

If you can't cancel through Mog Station, your subscription is likely managed through the platform where you bought the game. Try one of these methods instead.

TV Provider / Reseller

If you purchased FFXIV through Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox, you need to cancel through their subscription management systems.
