The restrictions on trading and moogle delivery prevents free trial guests in receiving their invitations. Without invitations, they cannot attend.

Having players invite their non-ff14 playing friends to actually try the game under the premise of wanting to be a guest in the ceremony which potentially costs $40 would have been a great way to get people to try out the game and maybe stay and subscribe later.

Nowhere in the eternal bonding website says that free trial players are not allowed to be guests. I have not seen any other official post stating to this effect - unless I have overlooked it.

Therefore, I would like to ask directly, and in turn, have a categorical official reply: are you banning free trial players from attending Eternal Bonding ceremonies as guests? Or perhaps there is another way besides trade window and moogle delivery where you can send the invitation to your guest?
