    You can get the DirectX 9.0 redistribution here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...ils.aspx?id=35
    If the web installer above dosen't work for you, try the offline redistributable: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...s.aspx?id=8109

    Here is a complete VC redistribution package that contains 32/64 bit versions of VC 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and older runtime files. You probably won't need everything in here for FFXIV, but by installing everything you should then be sufficently prepared for other games/software.

    This last bit might not be necessary, but you can also enable .Net Framework 3.5 in Win 8.1 just to be sure. You'll find a handy guide here:

    After installing and enabling those above, perform a restart and see if the sprites are visible. Hope some of this makes it work for you.
    Thank you for your help but those were one of the first things I had done on a new windows.

    I am currently re-downloading/installing the whole game, will see if that works out.

    Edit: Apparently a simple reinstall fixed the issue. Case closed.
