You should focus on completing the main story quests. The quests will provide you with item-level relevant gear as you go along. There is a main story scenario quest name object in your HUD to show you your next mandatory quest.

As far as completing your current set goes after looking at your Lodestone profile, most of them are either obtained now from dungeons or Allied Seals from hunts. You'll have to farm poetic tomestones if you want to buy the tome gear from Revenant's Toll (and a certain other place that I won't spoil just yet.)

There are also sidequests in blue symbols showing that there is additional content such as dungeons, trials, and other stuff.

If you try to queue dungeons in a Japanese server, be sure to click on the small cogwheel circle and click the "J" on the Language settings since you're on a Japanese server. That will pair you up with people who chose the "J" language setting as well.

One more thing, the cutscenes in Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium are now unskippable, but you'll gain more Poetic Tomestones and EXP. YMMV on how you use the view the rewards and use poetics for gearing up your main and alt classes. Queues are a little longer. But if you choose the "J" language setting, your queue times on that region will go down faster (especially if you're a healer). Speaking of queue times since Vstarstruck brought it up just now, queue times resuling from this change really only hurt DPS players, especially newer ones. However, I still get fast queues in Main Scenario Roulette as tank or healer on my end.
