Well. Hello.

Me and my wife have recently purchased FF14. We splurged on the fancy $150 collectors editions, cuz why not. We've wanted a dedicated MMO to play for a while.

I went Arcanist cuz summoning is cool, she went Conjurer cuz healer. We're both roughly level 10. Will likely prefer to just play by ourselves, we're not huge on group stuff unless it's absolutely necessary.

She's an MMO junkie with 20k+ ours in Mabinogi and older titles, I played maybe 600 hours of ESO years ago. She's uhh not a fan of tab target combat, I don't mind it too much. ESO was similar, but combat was dull. FF14 is dated a bit, but the 7.0 update will be nice when it hits.

So I'm asking for any general tips/advice/guidance you deem worthy. We want to really sink and dedicate, but the worry is always there that some other MMORPG might be better for us. We're both huge on life skills, especially with since Mabinogi was the ultimate life skill simulator.

And of course the housing and decoration aspect is quite appealing. Just everything is a bit overwhelming. I'm level 10 and my hotbar is already filled to the brim with god knows what, and I'm pretty sure she's still spamming rocks

So far I'm just aimlessly completing quests, now that I'm 10 I'll provably join all the guilds and chase down the story.

Again, just looking for general advice and guidance. Thank you in advance!
