When I started playing I found "XIV realm" as helpful. Don't know the exact address, just google it and you should find it!

Dunno what you lot are talking about. We're all over the place.
There are a few wikis out there (I'm a fan of the folks behind the Gamerescape wiki, but have no opinion on its content compared to the others). There are also several guide sites, database sites (such as xivdb), and other forums/communities (Reddit has a large FFXIV community). I don't know of much of a comprehensive guide for new players, because there's just so much to go over, and it's hard to keep up-to-date with every patch. Feel cheesy giving the default answer here, but it's true: Google is your friend. Searching for "FFXIV ARR <insert topic>" has rarely disappointed me. Just be careful to check for a date on any articles you find and/or make sure it's talking about ARR. There's still a lot of information out there from 1.0, which can be misleading if you're not aware of it.
Thank you Reishi, I found the site and it's a great help!
