i dont know much about the game yet and i went and read this thread
http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1hdboi/so_what_will_be_your_leveling_path_and_why/and did not understand a single thing anyone is saying. are the MNK, BLM, WHM advanced classes or something? if someone can break down what this guy is saying, that would be great

im going to start on marauder probably, just so i can be in LL. i should mention im on legacy so i have all combat classes above 35, 5 of them at 50. so upon start:
MRD class quest to 15 (unlocking logs, gearsets, the level 15 ability, and the ability to unlock other classes).
Story to 15 (unlocking airships and the instance raids portion of the plot).
BLM class to 15 (unlock Scathe)
WHM class to 15 (unlock fluid aura)
MNK class to 15 (unlock whatever)
THEN with those 4 jobs as options, main story through ifrit, and further along joining grand company and unlocking chocobo companion.
THEN materia unlock.
THEN armor dyeing unlock.
THEN speaking to my crafting guilds and joining them (this unlocks additional slots for gear sets)
from there on, it's a big big world full of possibilites.
