My proudest would be a tossup between my performance in the last Triple Triad tournament (16 wins, 4 draws) and my fastest time in the Sagolii Road track of chocobo racing (1:16:96).
After that would be that time I healed Titan HM back in early-mid 2014 and most of the party was pushed off the platform over the course of the battle, and it was just me as WHM, the tank, and a bard, and we finished just the three of us and I was out of mana most of the time but the bard did what he could to keep me supplied, and that lasted forever, and I found myself shaking once the battle was over. I got all 7 commendations.
After that would be the time the healer died against the last boss of Cutter's Cry (Chimera), and the other DPS and tank eventually died, where me, as monk, managed to finish the boss off on my own, and found that as long as you can dodge AoEs, he's easy and doesn't do much damage with its attacks. (And Bloodbath + Second Wind + HQ max-potions give quite a bit of survivability on a boss whose unavoidable attacks are actually not very strong like that one.)

Had never really done big pulls before, and in my second Keeper of the Lake DF ever, after my initial single pack pull, SMN in group says "you can pull more, really..." and I think, OK....let's pull. So I end up pulling from there to the point where the trash has to die before the next phase opens, which I want to say is like 12-15 mobs? Blew CDs, did the Overpower dance, pulled it off. Here's the very next thing the SMN typesin /p chat:
"Holy crap! Now THAT is a pull!"
Having done many big pulls, and plenty bigger since then, I realize it wasn't some epic all time thing, but at the time, I was never happier about FF14, tanking, dungeons...any of it. And I normally loathe KotL because DF pugs suck at the final boss, but IO loved that one. :D

I am still a new player here but I gotta say getting ixion mount one day before instances were rip. I know in the end everyone will get it but at least now I don't have to deal with the lagfest in there.

It was back in Sephirot EX actually. I was enjoying playing healer more and more but I never thought that I was a good enough player to do any of the higher end content. I swore I'd never do an extreme primal, that kind of content just wasn't for me. I was lacking confidence in myself, and I was scared of putting myself into content where I thought that my performance could make or break a fight. I was even scared of the attitudes that I would find within players that did that kind of content - would I be yelled at for every mistake I made? Would they point out all the ways that I wasn't good enough? Would they just kick me because I was holding them back?
My FC friends had convinced me to at least try and I felt that at least they wouldn't scream at me if I failed, so we started with the learning parties for Sephirot. I was too scared to play the job that I actually enjoyed the most and thought I wasn't good enough to play such an important role as a healer, so I went DPS instead. Phase by phase we learned the mechanics, and I found myself picking them up pretty quickly. Sure, I screwed up and I got myself killed a few times (and other people) but so did everyone else. Everyone made mistakes, but we all got better as a group and progressed more and more.
There was one night that we were close to clearing it and we had too many DPS and not enough healers. I knew the fight well enough and so I decided to be brave and that I'd go as a healer. My hands were shaking so much I almost dropped my controller a few times. But we cleared it that night. That was the first EX primal/fight I've ever done in my entire life and I remember almost wanting to cry as the achievement flashed up on the screen. Partly because I was glad it was over, but also because I was just so proud of myself. I'd done it, I healed through an Extreme fight and kept everyone alive well doing it. And being able to celebrate that with my FC friends was even more amazing. I remember telling someone afterwards 'I can't believe I just did that!'.
Part of what made me proud was that sure I did the fight, cleared it, but I was also proud that I had been able to put my anxiety and feelings of inadequacies away for a couple of hours and that I had tried. I've gone on to clear other EX and Savage fights (#healerlifeisbestlife) but that first one will always stand out for me as the biggest accomplishment in my FFXIV time, simply because I had spent so much time telling myself that I couldn't do it. I was proud of proving myself wrong.

Clearing floor 200 after many back-to-back failures on floors 191+.
Will always remember that feeling while boss-walking down to that bench.

When I got my WHM to 60, DRG to 50 and SCH/SMN to 40. I thought I would never get a class past 40 when I first started.

Rescuing my friend from certain safety into a nice big puddle of red on the ground and watching his die very abruptly and not even knowing it was me that was the cause of it
