Final Fantasy XIV is set in a world filled with magic, gods, and primals, and every NPC in the game has a very high probability of worshiping a specific being. This custom applies to the player's character as well. When the player creates their character for the first time in the game, they will be allowed to choose one of the Twelve deities revered in Eorzea.
Choosing deities in Final Fantasy XIV has no influence on gameplay, thus players can pick a god depending on their personal preferences. This article will cover the top five deities from which a player can choose. However, these are purely subjective, and players' perspectives may differ.
5. Llymlaen
