I did it!!

If you go to easy/story mode 'raid' just say ''this is my first time here'' and everyone will go (yeah bonus!) to themselves. If you die, no big deal.
Just try to remember lessons the game has taught you previously, like what the ''gather up'' symbol looks like.

Also to lvl your gatherers, at least do the daily GC hand in, its cheap, fast and worth a lot of EXP. Double if you can be bothered to gather 10 HQ instead of NQ.

I don't know if you have started up any crafters/gatherers yet but you'll want to start with Grand Company turn-ins and leves for experience. Culinarian is a good one to start with. Some people like myself find the gatherers/crafters just as enjoyable as the disciples of war/magic.

I tried my hand at crafting didn't get far >.>. Gathering on the other hand I find soothing and relaxing and I can enjoy it far easier since it's no where near as complex as crafting but sadly they are only lvl 30's right now. I'm slowly building them up :P.

You know it's kinda sad I had completely forgotten about GC hand in's >.>.

In even number patches gear is supposed to mildly difficult to obtain. You have tomestones and normal mode raids for now if you don't want to do susano/Lakshmi (they are very easy if you want to build confidence in that kind of content) or savage. It is 4.1 where you will get the casual content progression through 24man, relic, and unique content.

Takes me at least 3 runs to get mechanics down well in most raids, that doesn't stop me. Once something gets past my terrible short term memory it stays there.

Go do the inspector side quest line, severely entertaining.

I am leveling my miner and botanist using guild leves now that my white mage is at 70. I am 51 botanist and 40 miner. I find it fun and relaxing. Find activities you love and do them. And congrats on clearing MSQ. Wrapping up an expansion storyline is always such a satisfying thing.

Ill echo what a few other people have said about the Omega raids(non-savage) not being hard. They progress from fewest mechanics in V1 to most in V4, but regardless of how "complex" any of the fights are none of them are punishing enough that one player goofing up will tank the group. Even 1 bum healer/tank can be survived in any of them as long as their counterpart is on point. A DPS whos not fully up to speed just means it takes longer to finish. So dont let the "raid" name scare you away - from these or the alliance raids that come in future patches. Try 'em when you have time, see if you enjoy, and keep having fun.

Don't forget to also do the Scholasticate storyline so you get the glasses emote :3 the story itself is really good too.
There's also moogle mail sidequests at limsa lominsa (really fun if you didn't do those).

yay I finally beat the Stormblood MSQ. So now I have to wonder what next?

There is sooooo much to do beyond MSQ depending upon what you like to do. I leveled up my gathering and crafting classes and now need to get them from 60-70. This is also a good way to earn gil. I have a linkshell I made years ago to help new people starting out in FFXIV. Just helping out sprouts is fun to me. Daily roulettes, gearing up in dungeons (for glamours), hunts, other jobs, etc. Just have fun!
