If you buy a new copy of the game, that come with 30 free days. The 14 day trial, you'd still have to buy the game at the end and get the 30 days free.

I honestly don't know if you can use the recruitment code on the 14 day accounts. I don't see why not... But I've not used the 14-day one before.
I recently started with trial, upgraded to paid account. Added friend code after my free month ended and it made me go to Mog Station and set up a subscription.
