Hi, I'm a long time XI player (quit because school*) and I messed around with my friend's XIV 1.0 account at launch, but don't really have other experience with XIV. I'm graduating in 12 weeks, and due to my wife not wanting to play XI with a husband character who's "already level a billion", we're taking up XIV once I get my cap 'n gown. She's going to play on PS4 and I'll play on PC. I'm just after information on what to do to get started in the best way possible, so I'm not too much of a noobcake on day 1. Is there a windower I should be using? Voice chat on PS4 I should take advantage of? My capstone project is a beast, so I don't really have tons of time to research this stuff in advance. I don't mind reading, I just know how easy it is to read a terrible guide without realizing so as a new player, and want to make sure I'm looking in the right places.
TL;DR - Former FFXI player starting up FFXIV 12 weeks from now. What do?
*Also, got my Aegis and quit shortly thereafter, you know the story
