By all accounts, the FF14 Dawntrail launch has been far smoother than Endwalker. Aside from day one, I've had almost no login queues at any time of day, and the overall experience has been pretty smooth. However, it wasn't without flaws, and due to issues on both console versions Square Enix is preparing to hand out free game time for Final Fantasy 14 to all players with a subscription, regardless of which platform you play on.
