I will once again repeat, if you're on PC (sorry console people), you can spend $3 on Mudfish and use that VPN service, it's not a sub, it's pay-per-usage. It has been working well for me. It will last you more than any sub can offer.

I entirely understand dropping subscriptions and quitting whilst something happens, but if XIV is your "main" game as it is for many others, it's worth a try honestly. Don't let NTT stop you from playing the game, in my opinion.
