For example, you're not able to join free companies (essentially guilds), trade on the Market Board, or form parties (though you can still join ones set up by other players). There are some minor restrictions on what you can do. The level cap jumped up massively so you can play all the way up to Level 60 (the current maximum level for subscribers is 80), and even play through the entire first expansion, Heavensward. Last year, the contents of the Free Trial were expanded to make it one of the most generous we've seen. The Free Trial is for new players, so you'll need to make sure your Square Enix account hasn't been previously registered with a version of the game.
Getting started with Final Fantasy XIV Online is as simple as grabbing the Free Trial from the PS Store (bit.ly/opm-ff 14trial).
