These are my personal FFXIV settings. The keybinds, hotbars, macros, ReShade tuning, plugin picks, and skill mods are exactly what I play with day to day. I'm sharing them publicly so anyone can browse the full plugin list, peek through the configs, and try whatever looks useful. Install the whole thing in one click, hand-pick just the components you want via the in-app selector, or use it as a starting point and tweak from there, whatever fits your style.
