Attention Newbies: Look at the Lodestone Play guides!

[Estellios]

Not that we don't like answering newbie questions, but I've seen a lot of people talking about trying to find information on this game when it has been right under their nose:

The Lodestone, the official website for this game!

Click on the "Play Guides" section on the left! It has lots of useful information such as:

• How do I find other players that are seeking a party? and How do I search for existing parties that are seeking members? (at the bottom)
• What do stats do?
• How do I Join a Grand Company and get my Chocobo?
• How do I unlock a Job?
• How do I perform Combos?
• What is Materia and how do I get it and use it?

Practically anything you may have a question about is covered (make sure to click any red/brown text links sprinkled throughout the pages for some delicious charts and expanded information). It is updated pretty frequently, usually a few days after major patches or whenever a new system or feature is added. The articles are really informative so the devs that work on it deserve to have their work brought to light.

Reps, maybe you can make a sticky topic alerting players to the Play Guides' existence so that more people are aware of it.
