How much is a FFXIV subscription per month?
In FFXIV, monthly subscription costs depend on the membership tier you are trying to opt for. The base subscription fee for FFXIV per month is 12.99 USD, which can go up to 14.99 USD if you are a player interested in creating more characters per server and data center.

To make things easier, here is a table that shows the different membership tiers and their monthly cost while sharing a few other details which will help you in making your decision:
| Membership Tier | Subscription Length | Monthly Price | Max Characters per Server | Max Characters per Physical Data Center |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | 30 days | $12.99 | 8 | 8 |
| Standard | 30 days | $14.99 | 8 | 40 |
| Standard | 90 days | $13.99 | 8 | 40 |
| Standard | 180 days | $12.99 | 8 | 40 |
For players who play FFXIV occasionally or are planning to play the game only for a short time, we recommend the starter membership tier, which costs 12.99 USD per month. As why should you waste your hard-earned money on a 180 subscription if you aren’t going to play for that long?
That being said, for regular players planning to main FFXIV as their primary MMO, we recommend they go for the 180 days standard membership tier as it is available at a discounted price.
That concludes our guide on how much a monthly FFXIV subscription is, as we have shared all available memberships and their respective costs.
