Where to read the entire lore of FFXIV.

[Anonymoose]

Regretfully, the entire lore can only be found within the game itself. A great deal of lore is what's called flavor - whimsically added tales of fauna, flora, and historical events that don't impact the overall narrative (unless a writer is inspired). There is almost nothing in the world of XIV that you can scratch at and find nothing beneath the surface, though whether it "matters" is subjective.

The IRL Encyclopaedia Eorzea books are indeed your best bet to get all the stuff that "matters" in one convenient place, but each player is going to have different foci and interests. Some people collect reams of "favor" about the fauna of the world, or aetherology minutiae, or every bottle of booze that's been mentioned so far.

For everything else, there's us - the living, breathing, typing archives of "I probably looked that up once upon a time." I have most of it archived in a way I can quickly search.

Also look at Enkidoh over here with six medals. I'd given up on six medals being a thing when I saw neither you nor I had done it. What a mistake that was.
