    So far I've been able to play tonight without a crash. The only major changes I've made since I posted was rolling back even further to an April GeForce driver, and using GPU Tweak II to lower my clock speed by -125 or so to keep FFXIV from having an overclock tantrum. I've always played overclocked with no issues, though, so I'm not sure if that's even the culprit.
    I also set my GPU fans to run constantly instead of auto adjusting. I had read somewhere that something might be causing the GPU to think it is overheating even though it's not, so in turn it just shuts itself down. This likely had no actual effect on the crash, but I did it and it's working so I'm keeping it that way.

    I made a couple of other minor changes that likely had no effect on crashes, but may be worth mentioning. I noticed that if I Alt+Tabbed out at all, the game seemed to go into overdrive and push my GPU harder. I turned on the "limit framerate while client is inactive option" as a result. I also uncapped FPS in the game's settings and instead capped it at 60 FPS via the Nvidia control panel. The framerate holds at 60 consistently, where it seemed to get sluggish at times before.

    Out of the changes I made, the driver change is most likely what helped. I had rolled back prior to this, but not quite as far, so perhaps that was the issue.
