This is so amazing! Your art style is goals :'), any advice for a noobo at FF14? I tried to play a while ago with some friends but most ended up dropping out - I still really enjoyed it though and am debating getting back into it :D

So a bit of a necropost, but advice for you and anyone that reads it. Watch Jocat's "Crap Guides" to FF14. He has one for every role. Forgive yourself while learning. Be patient with yourself. Yes, I repeated myself.
Let people know you're new. The community is fantastic. I've been playing for 4 years and only encountered a handful of jerks. They are few and far between.
DPS is easiest to learn to do well, but Tanks and Healers Q up faster for raids.
ARR (The core game) is a slow start, but it picks up a *lot* for Heavensward.
Do the Mechanics and avoid the orange circles.
Seriously, watch the Crap Guides. It'll take about 20 minutes of your day to watch them.
