Glad to see you’ve found your way to the website of our community
Paranoid is a Final Fantasy XIV free company for players with Social Anxiety. Below you’ll find more information and in the menu above you’ll find the page to apply to our free company.
Paranoid Final Fantasy XIV Free Company
The original Paranoid guild was founded in 2011 on World of Warcraft’s Emerald Dream server. In August 2015 Paranoid branched out to FFXIV and set up a free company on Zodiark, Light. From small and somewhat shaky beginnings, this FC has grown into a thriving community.
Our primary aim is to enable everyone to see the entire game. The strong story element in FFXIV means group content cannot be avoided at certain points, so we strive to provide a supportive environment where people can not just see this content and progress their character but more importantly, where they can enjoy it.
Our FC has raided at both Normal and Savage levels but we cater to players of all styles. Whether your main focus is housing, collecting minions or extreme trials and raiding, you’ll find people who share your interests, but we do mean it when we say we’re ‘no pressure’, so if you just want to go solo most of the time, you are free to do so.

Halloween Social 2025

Social Anxiety is something we’ve all struggled with, and for many of us, finding a safe and supportive environment in our games has been invaluable. Most of our members found group content incredibly stressful when they joined, but many of us have come to love it. For others, it is never going to be something they love, but being in Paranoid gives them the confidence to face group content when they have to.
Our Discord server provide a platform not just for sharing information about the games we play but also give us a safe space for discussing Social Anxiety in a wider context.
