As it's been said, take your time.

Please.

With the patches delayed by 2 months from hereon, it's going to hurt reaching the end.

I would highly recommend using Party Finder for doing content blind and don't spoil yourself with guides. Even if it's content as old as Heavensward raids or Stormblood content. Because like ARR, a lot of phases are outright skipped because everyone will out-DPS them in Duty Finder. And hey, it's cross world now, so not just Balmung only.
