I highly doubt that it's something stupid already covered in the guide, seeing as every single person posting on the main site is having the exact issue I am.

nono, dont worry, :)
This is caused always (99,9999% of the cases) by the stuff you mentioned,

---You also need have Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime , Microsoft Visual c++ 2010 redist and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 installed.
INSTALL THE ONES FOR WIN 8 , the links are I thin leading to win7 stuff.. but idk 4 sure
If you experience crashes while trying to start FFXIVMinion, try disabling / updating / replacing your Antivirus and/or Firewall. Some Antivirus tools pick up a false positive on FFXIVMinion, this is because how FFXIVMinion´s security works. The normal Microsoft Security Essentials Antivirus & Firewall for Windows does not have any issues, but some others like Antivir, Avira, Norton, Kaspersky ... can cause problems.
DON'T USE graphic enhancing tools like MSI AFTERBURNER, SWEETFX or EVGA Precision or similiar software!

how did you "check" that you have those installed ? especially the "Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime , Microsoft Visual c++ 2010 redist" should be downloaded and the install button pressed, since these can have older versions on your computer.
2nd point is the antivirus, which one are you using? if it is anything else but MSE, well you have your crashing reason :)
And yes, having Avira or kaspersky (or some others) and trying to "disable" them is no option sometimes, they have backgroud services running that still block/kill minion when you run it. The reason is that we are injecting in another process here and this is often used seen as a malicious behavior and totally blocked, you wont even get notified about that. Only option is replacing the AV with a less bitchy one (MSE for example)
