Let’s start with the old first:
FFXIV 1.0 Stuffz
Youtube link to all Main/job/class/side quest Cut-scenes incase you missed or need a refresher. Good link for those who were away for a long time, or just don’t remember what happened in that dragoon quest line so long ago.
FFXIV ARR Information Websites
Mining/Botany
I can’t find any Mining nodes outside of Gridania!
That’s because there aren’t any, as gathering has been reshuffled like DoW/DoM classes. You will only find 1-15 nodes near the city with the matching gathering guild. 20+ you will find across other zones. Check here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjS2hUA7cqegdE5qejV0S1Awd2d4ZWdzSmo2RUNQenc#gid=0
Fishing
Sorry, not until Phase 4 or Release.
Cross-class/job abilities
What do you mean, BLM only gets ARC for sub-abilities??
It is true! Check here (p.s. they’ll prolly also get ACN when it is released) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsPI9Wq6z6GwdHJEYmR0Qjk4QzV2SmYzVzhYTVdCSkE#gid=0
Crafting 101
Crafting is sooooo different! I don’t get it!
Read here: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=2482
* Note: Guildleves for crafting no longer provide materials at all. YOU must provide all materials. Because of this, the Leves now give much more XP. Also, some leves will allow you to turn in extra items sometimes for bonus gil/xp.
*Note: The quests for crafting guilds was restructured in a similar way to DoW/DoM. That is to say you have them at level 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.
Items and Fluff
This is like Mooglebox, but with the ARR items. (You can still visit Mooglebox.com and compare the gear between these two sites to see how your stuff has changed)

Common Questions for ARR
1: I can’t start another job!
a: You need to reach 10 in the job you selected in the character generator to start
2: How do I dye my equipment?
a: There is a quest in Vesper Bay that allows you to do this: A walkthrough is here: http://eorzeareborn.com/color-your-world-the-dye-quest-in-ffxivarr/
*Note: What does Goobue Grey really look like? Well look here! http://imgur.com/a/rvB1u#0 and here (Thanks Maxi) http://www.thefinalfantasy14.com/
3: My gear is missing!
a: Check your local Calamity Salvager and your Retainers. If it is still missing, chances are it was removed from the game and you were given Gil. If this still isn’t the case write a bug report. For calamity salvager info: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/topics/detail?id=758c9a3a9f3045637d0d36f1afa1dd51085f4be3
4: The Empire ate my Retainers!! I can’t find them!
a: Your retainers are safe and sound, as are all the things they had (gil included!) Once you reach level 15 you can begin the 3-city dungeon quest. After finishing this, you will be lead to a final stage where you are given access to your retainers again. Simply talk to the retainer NPC and rehire them. All is well.
5: My GC gear isn’t equipable!
a: Until you reach the point in the main story where you selected your GC, you will be unable to equip any GC gear or change your chocobo’s barding between your GC choices (as well as no GC slaute). If you opt to rejoin your original GC, you’ll get everything back including seals, rank, etc. If you join a new one: Get to work skippy! Details here: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/topics/detail?id=758c9a3a9f3045637d0d36f1afa1dd51085f4be3
6. How do I get more save slots for my gear sets?
a: When you reach level 15 in your primary job (see question 1), you unlock the ability to save gear sets. This starts you with an initial set of about 6 or so. To unlock additional ones, simply travel to all the guilds and “join” then. For each guild you join, you get 1 additional free slot to save to.
7. What are logs (not the tree or Voidwatch kind)?
a: As you progress through your main job quests and join crafting and gathering guilds, you will obtain various logs. The logs server different functions:
1. Hunting logs: Has lists and locations of mobs to kill. Each log is different per
job.
2. Crafting Log: This serves not only as a tracker for what you’ve made, but also as your recipe book.
3. Gathering Log: A tracker and locator for the various materials you can gather on your DoL classes. Very helpful when you need to find that rare ore. (p.s. Will not help with monster drops)
4. Grand Company Log: This is similar to the Hunting log, only instead of XP you gain Company Seals.
8. Linkshells, Free Companies… It’s all one big party right?
a:Linkshells are now pretty much specialized/locked chat channels. We now how have a lot more control over who is in the shell and can remove people even when not online now (yay!), but otherwise they don’t function beyond… chat.
Free Companies are more formal what you would consider a guild in most MMOs. You can belong to many Linkshells, but only one Free Company. Free companies have a member limit in the 500s and have more robust member management features, a message board, recruitment forms, etc.
• Note: When you see someone’s name and a tag after it, that is their Free Company, not their Linkshell. Example: if I were in the free company > (where FCNH means Free Company Name Here) it would look like this: Tannlore Belegeria <FCNH>
9. My Materia!!! What happened to my Materia?!?!
a:It's gone! Hahaha.. oh, sorry. No it's okay. All materia was turned into "Cracked Materia" of various kinds. The entire system went over an overhaul, a good one I think. You won't be able to do anything with your cracked materia until Phase 4. Read here for more information: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/topics/detail?id=d3223d6b67c1fe5c1cb03fc1b248a963d6e53673
If you have any other questions, ask them. Doesn't matter if you are new or returning.

Thanks to Kuraneko for this site. It has several entries of various walkthroughs of dungeons, crafts, gatherings, LS, FC, a whole slew of information… and some opinion articles.

For folks like me who are newer to 14 or just MMO's with multiple line macros in game I'd check out their article they recently popped up for "Macro Overview". It's well detailed and explains nice ways to condense a few abilities with long cooldowns to 1 macro (super useful for controller crossbars) or how to batch synth some items (Though I'm kind of hoping they change that next phase. I'd give my chocobo to craft full stacks at once. Well, ok maybe not my chocobo…but I'm sure I could find a moogle or two to trade in). Wishing I'd have had this one last weekend when I was playing with crafting.

This is a YouTube series that goes over Q&A of ARR and previews the jobs so the new players can get an idea of what sets the jobs apart from their classes. The one I put up is White Mage, but he does them all. Not 100% correct, but keep in mind he has been doing it for weeks and things have changed. This is for those of us who would rather watch a vid than read! ^^

"Win together, lose together, play together, stay together." -Debra Mancuso
This is just a rough pull from what was introduced today and looking at several sites doing translations and tried to pull only things that we confirmed on several sites. Feel free to comment on things that are different or not in here. The things already on our site I left out so please look at the feed corresponding to the day of the live letter for that info. Dates are up on the schedule!
- Player Housing is in for Open Beta in LL as the Devs want players to stress test it as much as possible.
Its just a premade set of houses for players to stress test. It does not sound like we will be able to buy till early access and there are possible other places that they will make player housing available should the majority of players request this. FC was mentioned at this point and that is doesn't really make a difference where you align to. So does this mean we can have a FC house where we want to? We shall see!
- Arcanist will be in at start of phase 4 and it is a DPS Class.
- Scholars will use Mind as primary stat and Summoners will use Int. Be careful when giving attribute points to Arcanist as they will not be easy to reset and it goes to two jobs.
- There will be game cards shortly after release.
- World Transfer service will be available for a price 2-3 weeks after launch to change servers for up to 8 characters.
- Smartphone App is in the works. It will be a free app but require an active ff14 account to login. iphone version up 1 week after launch, android version about 3 weeks after launch.
- Repair costs during phase 3 were broken and will be up and running for phase 4. They are making gear damage acquired during party wipes for Primal fights less as well.
- There will be a barber feature added in patch 2.1 and you can change your hair, eyes and tattoos.
- There will be seasonal events ingame and the first one starts about a week or so after launch.
- Bahamut Labyrinth is a raid at release. Crystal Tower is pushed back to patch 2.1 so players will have time to gear for it first as its harder. Both will be running 24 man content it seems. I have seen this the other way around in some translations, but at least we know we get one at release. Moogle is coming back too it seems!
- /tell in dungeons still locked at release but may change in the future as they do not want platers harassing each other from other servers.
- There will be a marriage system ingame
- Addons will be added about 6 months after launch
- Veteran reward program grants bonuses depending on how long you been a subscriber (30 days gives hand pet and character change token, 60 days gives black chocobo pet and swimsuit, 90 days gives eyeball minion pet and eyeball mount)
