FFXIV Island Sanctuary guide: farming, hunting, and how to unlock

On your FFXIV Island Sanctuary, with the help of some robots, you can create your personalised space while exploring a giant island and taking care of adorable animals, but what actually is the FFXIV Island Sanctuary, how do you unlock it, and what can you do there?
The addition of Island Sanctuary was one of the most anticipated features and it has finally been implemented in patch 6.2. Now, players can create their private paradise in Eorzea, the world in which this hugely popular MMO game is set in. This new area offers players a space to enjoy some functions that only house owners have had until now while amplifying it with simple farm activities. It's another feature that sets FFXIV apart from a host of other MMOs and cements its place as one of the best PC games you can play right now.
