FFXIV Boot Error, among other things

[Nofi]

I can no longer access the game due to this Version Check Failed I keep getting when trying to load up the Windows launcher.

I've tried running as Administrator, tried the various network settings suggested in other threads, etc. I've tried too many a thing at this point. If for some reason it lets me past that initial error, I still get errors logging into the game, and now since I've tried reinstalling the game, can't even reinstall the game files. I'm essentially locked out. Can you please assist in fixing this?
