Across is the community for raiders who focus on high-end content: Savage, Criterion, Ultimates and more. Our members span from first time raiders to penta-legends, and everything in between. Across’s goal is to provide resources for raiders (gear, consumables, mentorship) and a safe environment for individuals to learn, grow and help one another.

FC Admin

Oats Kobayashi

Hi my name is Oats! I am the original creator of Across's FC since Shadowbringers. After years of hopping between large FCs with no communities, I started this Free Company with a deceptively simple goal: create a free company with members that you actually want to ask to do hard content with!I’ve had the pleasure of meeting amazing people that have gone from complete beginner to raiding powerhouses. I’ve also been incredibly lucky to have many amazing leaders step up over the years that have helped make my dream FC a reality! Ask me to do anything. I love hanging out with my FC friends, meeting new people, and running all kinds of content.

Pizza Bagels

Heyo! I'm Pizza Bagels! I've been playing FFXIV since Stormblood and I've been in Across for almost 4 years now. I've always wanted to be into hardcore raiding in this game, and it wasn't until I found this community that I was able to pursue that and eventually become a penta-legend! Not only have I found fulfilling accomplishments in this game, but I made great friends and meaningful connections.
I am a healer main but will really play anything! I love running content outside of just ultimate and savage as well, such as extremes, blue mage, and field content like Bozja and Eureka. If I'm not playing FFXIV I'm probably playing some kind of Fromsoft game.Let me know if you want to run any content or just want a bud to hang!

Aysen Xia

What's up! I go by Aysen. I've played FFXIV for well over 10 years now, from ARR to current day Dawntrail. I consider myself a very seasoned raider but have never really quite found a home. While progging TOP with other members of Across, I quickly realized I loved the community and wanted to call this place my home. Ever since I joined, my love for the game has only increased as I've met a lot of people and friends that I've been able to enjoy FFXIV with.My focus on the game is definitely in the DPS role and min-maxing my rotation to perform as best as I can. I enjoy helping others at getting better at their classes so they can grow and improve. I'm always down to talk about any of the sweaty details in any end-game encounters to be your best self! Always feel free to reach out if you're looking for knowledge or to grind out those end-game encounters.

Community Leaders

Sarin Kawauso

Heya! I'm Sarin and I'm currently helping out as a Community Leader in Across to assist with recruitment and managing all of our media pages, including this one! I've been playing FFXIV since the beta of 2.0 when I used to be a pretty casual player with very little interaction with other people until I found Across back during Shadowbringers. Joining this FC not only gave me the courage, but the support to hop into some of the more difficult content like unreals, savage, and even ultimates! It really just boiled down to the friends I made along the way to push me to be a better player.I'm a huge maiming class fan, using Reaper and Dragoon mostly. However I also dabble in the Physical Range department with Machinist and Dancer. I'm always trying to improve and understand fight mechanics from the classic raid tiers to the most current content in Savage and Ultimates. Always feel free to reach out if you're interested in Across or anything else!

Tank Privilege

Hello! my name is Tank Privilege. I've been playing FFXIV for about 4 years with my beginnings in shadowbringers. I've been in Across for almost 2 years now. I've always been around endgame raiding since I started playing 14. I've hopped around multiple data centers to pursue raiding until I found a group of like minded individuals in Across. I love helping people out with clearing content and you'll always see me doing an ultimate or a savage floor. Simply ask me and I'll be willing to help!I love tanking and fights that test my knowledge of my cooldowns. There's isn't a question I can't answer when it comes to the tanks as I love playing all of them! my role in Across is maintaining and developing our mentor program. In across we provide experienced individuals who can answer questions you may have regarding your job with myself being the tank mentor, all questions new and old are welcome so feel free to reach out to any of our mentors!
