1st time preparing for an expansion

Then play what you want instead of feeling like you must be PLD just because of the launch trailer. The story should be job agnostic as usual. I can't think of anything in the previous MSQs that made me feel like I should have been using one of the jobs featured in the cinematics.

I'd love to main RPR through the msq but I'm not exactly sure how bad will raid queue time affect the whole experience (I'm sure I'll do most if not all dungeons in TRUST). It feels like playing tank is the easy option, and might as well be PLD since it's the poster boy. I honestly feel bad picking up a class just because of that though

If you really want to play Reaper for MSQ then play Reaper. We've got so many different ways to get XP that getting it to 80 should be fairly quick. If you do end up using Trust, queue times will only be a problem for the 3 trials and you might be able to find a tank friend to help with those (I expect healer queue times to be mediocre because of Sage).

The worst thing you can is treat this like another "rush to end game" MMO. The journey is far more important in this game. Do what will be the most fun for you instead of perceived convenience. For all we know, tank queue times might end up bad with a lot of other players also deciding to go the PLD route.
