How do I buy the game?
Short Answer
To get access to all currently available content and expansions you buy the Complete edition!
If you are on steam free trial, buy it on steam, if you are on the Windows(non-steam) Free trial, you can choose either steam or Windows (Square Enix Store). Or buy it on the PSN store for PlayStation platforms.
The moment you buy the game, and have activated it on your account, you will NEED to start paying a subscription after the free 30 days included in the Starter Edition.
