Please implement something to teach players how to play

I also had a buddy tell me I could pull everything from the moment I started the game if I used my CDs. Maybe that was too much of an advantage lol

Idk if "too" much, but that one little long step encouraged at the start can make for a weirdly huge difference.

A bit off-topic, but sometimes I wish the class-quests weren't quite so strictly limited to their classes, just because some of those NPC companions could give some really fun and integral perspectives by which to approach the game, if they were allowed. That or just a bit more encouragement to multi-class as one goes, maybe, so one can more quickly see content from multiple roles' perspectives.

Consider those stationed in Limsa Lominsa, for instance. You've got the... analysis-retentive Arcanist NPC, the "just go in there and bash em dead" Marauders, and, if polished or deepened a bit, could get more of a supportive side-view from the Rogues, etc. It deepens the sense of character, world, and engagement with the game's available mechanics all at once. A win-win.

Alternatively, the game could just make a bit better use of its crafted solo-play moments and opportunities things via NPCs through more finely sculpted engagements in that solo content (job/class quests, etc.). Again, there's nothing to be lost in that, and a fair bit to be gained, especially in providing an especially satisfying intro to the game even once our latest influx has died down and no longer tint the game rosy through sheer numbers.
