Aside from expansion trailers, major patch trailers, and information videos, FFXIV has a ton of other extended media that the developers worked on. But you may have missed them, especially if you aren't always looking at the website, aren't subscribed to the Youtube channel, or are just new to the game.
So for those people who wanted to see what you might have missed, this is for you. I will also write in prerequisites in case you want to avoid seeing certain media that might contain spoilers for future parts of the game.
The following are NOT official FFXIV media, just some extra extended media that you may also enjoy by some talented creators.
If I missed anything, let me know down in the comments.
