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 Leadership

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.

Aurora Stellamaris

Hiya! My name is Aurora, or Awawa as FC friends call me. I have been playing FFXIV since beta of 2.0! I came to Across almost 3 years ago now, starting out as a very casual player, who didn't even know what materia melding was. Fast forward to now I've cleared savages, ultimates and help teach new baby raiders! Across is not only my Free Company, but its where I met some of my very best friends.
I am a White mage main, but I also have a passion for Blue mage, (I'm sure this will also include Beastmaster), Crafting and gathering, and helping others fall in love with raiding!
If you ever need anything, please never hesitate to ask!

Apache Kafka

Hello there, Apache here! I joined Across as an ex-free trial player hoping to get through Stormblood and Shadowbringers MSQ and get into high end content. 6 months (and 17 jobs leveled to max level) later, I finally mustered the courage to join an FC learning event for my first Extreme: Diamond Weapon. I ended up lagging a lot and had to drop, but I learned over half of the fight that I ended up clearing it in PF. Now I lead those same learning parties! I have made some incredible friends since then, and it's truly one of the reasons I still play this game. Hope to catch y'all in PF some time or another

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!
