The situation has continued as normal: I can interact and progress through any other portion of the game (Job Quests, Side Quests, Golden Saucer GATEs, etc) that isn't an MSQ with absolutely no hitches in my experience. But once I initiate a conversation at the Chamber of Rule with Bartholomew for the quest "A Sultana's Strings" (added in patch 4.1, and seemingly been revised for 5.01), the game loads, then crashes, and now I get these error codes:



I have no idea what else to do at this point.

Edit: At this time, I've lost nearly a month of my subscription due to not being able to properly play or advance in FFXIV.
Did another complete reinstall, by the way. Now I get no error codes when it crashes, just the vague "Final Fantasy XIV has stopped working."
