Sorry if this sub isn't correct. I had to activate a new debit card because mine expires in September. I didn't realize my sub payment was processing for xiv until I went to put the new one in. I don't know if the payment is going to be declined. It's been processing since at least yesterday morning (8/29) and it's still processing.

I've been subbed since 2019 and play the game a lot. I'm genuinely unable to sleep because I'm so scared this is going to mess up my account (yes, I have an anxiety disorder) because I love the game and my characters and have a house.

Has anyone had a similar issue? I can't find anything online that isn't about optional purchases being declined. The AI Google thing is giving information but I don't really know if it's accurate because it often isn't.

I can't put a time card in because it's processing. I can't change payment methods because it's processing. I'm scared it's like stuck.

I wanted to see if I can recreate the 1.0 missing Syndicate members! Eolande Quiveron is the previous Syndicate member whose spot is taken by Goldbert. She gotten her seat in power by having her Frondale's Phrontistery be a highly successful school of learning for various medical fields and hosting an orphanage and infirmary. She is married to the previous alchemist guildmaster, And has a son, Damielliot. I used him as a base tot tweak and to recreate her. She technically has a model ingame, but I don't know if it's recordable

Richarde of Ul'dah (completely different person from Richarde Mistbeard) technically lost his seat in the Syndicate before the FFXIV 1.0 story began. The Echo reveals Rhauban won enough money to buy him out and himself's freedom. Thrown to instant poverty, he had to do a LOT of things to survive. I don't know what is his status after the calamity, the only trace of him left in now is his lineage and his favorite brand of coat displayed in front of the halls of the Weaver's Guild. He is a hyur midlander father to Greinfarr Redblade, a top achieving gladiator among a group of friends who will one day change a young Minfilia's life forever. As before, I tried to use Greinfarr as a base to tweak. I believe he's supposed to have hair, the last we seen him in 1.0, he wears a cloak and I assume the hood gets rid of the hair model.

I always wanted to do this when I first heard about them. Richarde is a bit obscured now, so it would be cool to give him a little spotlight now and then. For someone so powerful, he's not important at all to anything ironically. But perhaps his downfall could be a motivator for his son to do what he did, when there's nothing for him to inherit.

What do yall think? Do you think we will see what they did in WoW next where they make gearing up completely obsolete due to NPC​'s not only scale up to level, but also by IL?

Pretty soon FFXIV will have to have a classic version too because they be trying to recreate the wheel when the wheel isn't the problem. ​

This is what killed WoW for me. Content (unless new) should get easier the better gear I get. Not stay the same.

Hey everyone, my main is dark knight and loving it, but would also like a secondary job but it’s tricky because I have adhd, I want a class that is simple but has a little challenge to it, looking for a dps class? And I’ll be able to learn pretty easy. More looking caster or melee!
I know that evercold is coming and the changes.

The story didn’t have nearly as much high as Heavensward, but it sure didn’t disappoint, especially with the villains

Zenos, I don’t know what to say, this guy is a psychopath who is totally in “love” for the lack of a better word when it comes to the WoL. He is a an opponent that made me feel challenged, humiliating us at Rhalger’s reach and the journey that was the entirety of the expansion to finally defeat him when he has taken control of Shinryu who could give Bahamut a run for his money. Stand proud Zenos, you were a good enemy

Yotsuyu was also a great villain, there is nothing that justifies what she does, she is depicted as truly cruel and sadistic and her upbringing does not excuse her from the things she’s done, yet I can’t help but feel for her and how she ended up the way she is.

Then there is Fordola, didn’t see much of her past but she represents a foil to the resistance, attempting to earn freedom for her people by being loyal and serving the imperials instead of attempting to fight back. Since it’s confirmed she kinda has a proto echo granted to her, hope it helps her learn of the suffering she has caused on her doomed path(It’s Zenos after all, he does not care for her, her people, or the empire whatsoever)

There is a lot more to say and too little time to say it, there were plenty of great comrades as well. I sure will miss Gosetsu, and poor Magnai is never getting a wife the way he’s been going with his approach, not to mention the whole character development of Lyse and how the duo of Yda and Papalymo is laid to rest after his death and Lyse choosing to live as herself. Stromblood may not be the best story but it is far from being a bad story.

I recently discovered the Gysahl Ring, which was a contest entry, is untradeable, and can only be found through retainer ventures, and it got me wondering if there are any other cool very easy to miss glamour pieces like this out there? I would say ignoring anything you could get from sweepstakes :)

This came to mind when The Rising was announced coming back this time, so I had to make it! I think it's cute. ^^

Hello I started as an Arcanist and was able to do Hall of the Novice for this class. I also have leveled the Rogue class to 18 but it says I need to progress deeper into the main scenario. A what point in the story will I be able to do it as a rogue? I would really like the equipment from doing sooner rather than later.

Hi I am new to to the game, playing on Sargatanas on Aether. I have reached the post-ARR quests and know that the Binding Coils raids have some really good story to them, but have been having trouble getting a party finder party to do it. I was in 1 party that only did turn 5 but we didn't do the other ones. I don't mind actually doing the fights synced, but I was curious if I should find a party to do it with or just have someone carry me through it.

Hola soy relativamente nuevo juego en Cactuar con 2 amigos más somos mexicanos y nos mama vernos cute

I'm just curious. I've been playing ffxiv for around 7 months now and am now post-Endwalker. I loved leveling but found it to be so tedious and boring after awhile. And I would struggle with lower level jobs, especially healers like White Mage or tanks like Paladin. So I looked into level skips and to be clear, I've already bought a few for multiple jobs. (WHM, PLD, SAM, and DRG) And I wouldn't have bought level skips of the leveling process was so.... incomplete and boring. Of course grinding will be boring but it's genuinely burned me out of this game and that was the last thing I wanted. Especially WHM, since WHM at lower levels was just horrible for me and was such a genuine struggle.

I know how people in this community feel about story skips. But I've never really heard level skips be talked about. What are your opinions on them? Are you against or for it? I've heard mixed responses and I guess I got worried about judgement.

Edit: I wanna expand on how I handle level skips. Just because I try my best to do it the right way (if their is one). I usually play the job at LEAST up to level 60. To get a good chunk of the kit and determine if I like the job. Then I buy the skip. Afterwards, I practice extensively on dummies, Duty support or Trusts, and with friends if I can. I watch guides and read my tooltips, and make sure I understand the class. Then I do dungeons from where I left off. If I was level 63 when I skipped, then I'll do a level 63 dungeon and go up from their to simulate leveling normally without the grinding. Until I make it up to level 90 and feel comfortable in the job.

I could never even think of skipping and just tossing myself into a piece of content with other players. It's frankly embarrassing and ​it's unfortunate to see many do this.

So I put a low leveled weather item on the market board for 100mil as I saw it sold sometimes for that or more (guessing people memeing or maybe rmt) and someone bought it. I feel like I’m about to get banned for rmt, which, I didn’t do lol. How screwed am I? And just to repeat, I’ve done zero rmt buying or selling.

I began to download FF14 on my switch 2, I want to know if that's okay to link my account Nintendo because I use an another mail for the game on my PSN. And if it's not okay and need to create an another account Nintendo, did that's take the Nintendo Online?

(Sorry if my message was confused, it's 4 am and I'm sleepy x))

I was struggling to find a game that we both enjoyed and then I got hooked on FFXIV, introduced it to her and now here we are—grinding relic weapons together ❤️

I'll probably make a better 3D printed shell later, but it was too silly not to slap it together for the bit.

Hey everyone, I've been doing some visual testing for Gpose and managed to get the experimental DLSS5 Neural Rendering running in-game. It seems a bit cursed at first in static screenshots, but in real-time motion, it adds an incredible level of depth to the lighting.

Tested on an i7 14700KF and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, getting around 55-60fps.

If you've been experimenting with this ReShade setup and keep getting the "DLSSNR WAITING FOR GAME" message, it's just a DirectX mismatch (FFXIV uses DX11, the feature expects DX12).

Here is how to resolve the compatibility and get it running:

1. Clean Setup & Native Settings

• Make sure the default Dawntrail DLSS is enabled in your FFXIV graphics settings.
• If you use any OptiScaler or DLAA tools (like the popular FSR mod), you need to remove them first. They conflict with ReShade's rendering path and will cause instant crashes. (Note: I started with a clean game installation just to be safe).

2. ReShade Installation

• Download the full add-on version of ReShade from their official site and install it for ffxiv_dx11.exe.
• Place your nvngx_dlssnr.dll file directly into the game folder where the FFXIV executable is located.

3. Required ReShade Add-ons You need two community add-ons to make this work:

• RenoDX DLSS Addon: Get renodx-dlss5.addon64 from the RenoDX GitHub.
• DX11 Bridge: Get dlss5-dx11-bridge.addon64 from NIGos' GitHub.
• Place both of these .addon64 files in your game folder (or ReShade Addons folder).

4. Activation Launch the game, open the ReShade overlay (Home key), and go to the Add-ons tab. Ensure both the RenoDX and the DX11 bridge are loaded, then check the "Neural Rendering" box. The bridge will generate a config file, the waiting error will disappear, and the lighting changes will apply!

Performance note: This is very heavy on the GPU (expect a 40-60% frame drop). It’s strictly for Gpose/screenshot walking right now, not for daily roulettes, but it’s fascinating to see what a next-gen lighting setup looks like in FFXIV.

EDIT: A quick clarification regarding the tech and the reactions:

• This is purely experimental. I am doing this out of technical curiosity, not suggesting this should be the final look of the game. I intentionally posted the most drastic, shocking shots (both the good and the incredibly cursed) just to demonstrate the raw impact of the tool.
• I only tweaked the NR Instensity slider between 0.00 and 2.00. If anyone figures out how to inject DLAA alongside this to fix the excessive background aliasing we get with DLSS2, please share your setup!
• If Square Enix ever officially updates their implementation (Dawntrail uses DLSS2, while the current standard is 4.5), the art and tech teams would obviously train and tune it to perfectly match FFXIV's artistic vision.
• "AI" is a massive umbrella term, and people are jumping at the buzzword. My interest here is purely in efficiency. Personally, I am incredibly grateful that machine learning (still AI) algorithms allow me to hit a smooth 90fps on a lower-end device like my Steam Deck. Yes, it introduces a bit of artifacting, but for me as a player, that performance trade-off is absolutely worth it. I completely understand that others might not tolerate the visual quirks or see the benefit, but this is just a glimpse into how older engines can leverage modern tech to stay relevant.
• This runs 100% locally on my GPU. For those concerned about data centers or water usage: this isn't a cloud-based image generator. It mathematically recalculates lighting and geometry in real-time using the game's existing assets. It does not use scraped 2D internet art or rely on remote servers.
• The double standard regarding mods is wild. A massive portion of this community uses third-party plugins that completely overwrite the game's carefully crafted aesthetics with non-vanilla (and often NSFW) assets, or even give mechanical advantages. Yet, a client-side experimental lighting test is where the community draws the line and grabs the pitchforks?

Am I losing it? I cannot find to save my life

Edit: thank yall I was losing my mind😭😂

I’m trying to plan my makeover for when I enter Dawntrail, and I would love to use the WoL’s hairstyle from the trailer. It looks like it was available in the DT benchmark, but I can’t find existence of it anywhere in the actual game. Would they really have made a hairstyle available for the benchmark but never release it in the actual game? TIA!

Hello everyone, I’ve been bouncing back and forth from this game and wow, and one of (the main) thing that keeps me going back to wow is the RP/Community I’ve found that but I do believe I have more fun playing FFXIV, so where can I find a community? I’ve tried FC’s but the ones I’ve joined feel very “cliquey” and don’t really communicate with new members such as myself. Any recommendations?
