Can't login, no character data (cactuar)

Okay, so I logged out of the client and logged it back in. My character data is showing now, but there is still an unchanging que O.o

Update: Okay so the que is now changing but it takes it a bit. Maybe the issue corrected itself? Still weird though.

Queue is moving for me (slowly down) and I'm scared to logout for fear of loosing my spot

I wonder if FFXIV needs to ramp up their servers since everyone is leaving that other game.

I am also stuck trying to return home to Sargatanas from Cactuar! It disconnected me while transferring then just puts me in a queue that doesn't move.

Honestly, they may have to again. The last time I seen something of this caliber was back when HW was in Early Access as well as Stormblood. Shadowbringers went pretty smoothly.

It could very well be a server side issue since so many new players are joining the game though, could also have something to do with the PS5 integration, but unsure why that would 'cause this other than goes back to a possible server overload.
