<p>Just in time to get ready for the second expansion, Stormblood!</p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1hfprcl"><em>Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn</em></a> is one of <a href="http://ift.tt/15dCsYT">our favorite MMOs</a>, and its first expansion pack, <em>Heavensward</em>, largely carried that quality forward. Now developer Square Enix is preparing for the launch of a second expansion pack, <a href="http://ift.tt/2eeu1HS"><em>Stormblood</em></a>. But if you haven’t actually got into the game yet, this might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.</p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2oW9A7W">Humble Bundle</a> is currently running a deal where both <em>Final Fantasy 14</em> and <em>Heavensward</em> can be purchased for a mere $19.79 — or about $10 off the usual asking price. That price can be lowered a further 10 percent if you’re a Humble Monthly subscriber, and as with all Humble Bundle purchases, you can choose to give five percent of your purchase to a charity, such as American Red Cross or Child’s Play.</p>
<p>It’s worth noting that <em>Final Fantasy 14</em> is a subscription-based game. As of <a href="http://ift.tt/2netiLT">a change last week</a>, you can now play freely up to level 35, but beyond that point, you’ll need to pay a subscription fee of at least $12.99 per month. Still, even with that fee added into the cost of the game, this deal can provide hundreds of hours of a big, beautiful game for minimal cost.</p>
<p>The sale is running for just over four-and-a-half days from the time of writing. It ends at midnight ET on Monday, April 10. The sale is, of course, only for the Windows version of <em>Final Fantasy 14</em>. The game is also available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, though PS3 service <a href="http://ift.tt/2egj5dY">will end this summer</a>.</p>
<p>The new <em>Stormblood</em> expansion for <em>Final Fantasy 14</em> launches on June 20 and includes multiple new lands for players to explore, new red mage and samurai jobs and a level cap increase from level 60 to 70.</p>
<p>The sale also comes just after <em>Final Fantasy 14</em> has reached new heights of mainstream notability. The MMO was a featured sponsor for this past weekend’s <em>Wrestlemania 33</em> event and even <a href="http://ift.tt/2nPC2cw">inspired the outfits of WWE superstars The New Day</a>.</p>
