I was gonna post that, since I was surprised no one mentioned it.

Word of caution/advice to anyone who has not been around the game since Trust NPCs and the ease of travel. You may have heard about Abyssea or played it, and found out how easy it is to level and do things back then... forget about that, because you're going to be absolutely lost if you start playing now lol. The game has made huge changes in the last couple years, alongside those things like Trust NPCs, which is saying a lot due to the massive changes that happened before with Abyssea. Home Points, for example, are now treated like Aetheryte here. You can teleport between the HP crystals for free if it's within the area/city or for a small fee if it's not. If you played during (at least) the golden age of Sky, imagine being in San d'oria at a home point. Next thing you know, you're in Ru'aun Gardens (Sky). In addition to that, they added HP crystals to almost every zone and "dungeon" area which you need to activate to use. It's an absolute dream. It'll take you forever to go through all the additional content lol. I've never been so intimidated by my return to a game I thought I knew very well. I gave it an honest go last night though, and I have to say... I'm really liking it again.
