Same exact issue with my main character. I haven't played in a long time, decided to get Stormblood on sale, subscribe again and now I can't log in with main char. I get the exact Direct X errors while it's loading after I select character. I created a new character and it loads just fine. Makes me think it's loading into somewhere that's crashing the game as soon as it's about to load the world up.

I sent a support request to have my character moved so I can load up in another spot but have yet to hear from anyone -__-
