Hey guys, new player here from Balmung.
Just recently got the game and haven't played a FF game since FFXI which I quit a few years back.
Glad to see the amount of people in Ul'Dah running around.

A few questions I have.

When I first thought about getting the game I wanted to see what spells each class could get and the list over at ZAM was pretty expansive. It showed multiple spells for the classes, even at lvl 1. Though when I started I only got 1 spell... After searching some more I saw that there was some class reform and the other spells were no longer being used.

My question is, is there a way to get more than thunder and blizzard for THM at my lower lvls? Will I never see the other spells that THM used to have? I want to have variety and right now spamming thunder and blizzard is a bit boring..

Another questions, about linkshells. When I started FFXI I came in to a game with friends who were already established and was welcomed into their linkshell. I didn't have to search for one. How should I go about getting into a linkshell at my low level and what should I be looking for in a linkshell as a new player?

Is there anything else I should know being a new player who's been out of FF games for a long while?

Thanks for your guys help.
