FFXIV resources
Critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial up to level 70 including award-winning expansion Heavensward and the Stormblood expansion with no restrictions on playtime. This covers literally around half of the game, so it's more than enough to see if you like it enough to start paying for it.
The game is available on PC (either through steam or the FFXIV official website, the latter of which is my recommendation), Playstation 4 and 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The global client lets you switch the game between Japanese, English, German, and French. The Korean and Chinese versions each have their own client and servers.
FFXIV Wiki
There are a number of wiki-style game resources out there for FFXIV, this is the one I default to.
Meowlo's FFXIV Quest Archive
An incredibly thorough video archive of pretty much every quest in the game in English, from main story to job quests to optional sidequests hidden in corners of maps. Unlike the average playthrough video, it also shows all the different choices for each quest.
