I have been steadily searching for a solution for weeks now, as I attempt to isolate the variable causing Final Fantasy to crash, so I would not run OBS from a system I am attempting to troubleshoot. I am not even using alt+tab right now. Besides whatever background processes run on a clean installation of Windows 10 - minus game bar which I have disabled - Final Fantasy is the ONLY program running.

As stated in my opening post, I do not use discord or overlays. Disabling the Xbox game bar is one of the first things I do on a new Windows installation, so that's off, too. I do not run OBS or any other software in the background; however, I am considering doing a few desktop recordings to demonstrate the random, unpredictable manner in which my game crashes.
