If you do the quest 'Stroking the Haft' as pointed out a few posts above, you will know the answer to this question. Stuff needs room to manuever, expand and the like.

I'm really enjoying the controller. Can you use a controller and keyboard together?
Is it too late to pick this up, or would a total beginner like me with no friends be able to get into the game? Is soloing rough?

When I first started I choose a server I knew no one on. Just recently came back for the free weekend and decided to stay. Again I'm on a server I knew no one and just made friends here. It's pretty easy to make friends in this game and the majority of people are very nice.

I actually play on my PS3 with a controller and use my android tablet as a bluetooth keyboard. You could probably use an android phone just as well. Just download BlueputDroid and you're good to go.
I greatly underestimated the amount of time it should take to download the game client and all updates.

You can solo 1-50 easily and there is a very good party finder system for the 4 and 8 man content which is part of the story and beyond.
That's good news. Thanks for the info.
Still downloading the game at a blazing .30MB/s
WAR easier time to corral and hold hate on multiple mobs, more HPs, more complications in skills. The more mobs it fights, the better it gets.
PLD more stuns, more mitigation, dependant on mana (and a BRD who knows how to pay attention), easier time with bosses for "Oh crap" moments and faster at grabbing hate when needed. The less mobs it fights, the better it gets.
There really isn't a serious threat issue with either though, but if you've never tanked in an mmo before I'd suggest PLD. Both can be played with macros to a great extent anyways after you get an understanding of how they work through the leveling process.
Just make sure to level the proper complementary skills to each tank so that you can be at your best. Some DPS jobs you'll have to level to say, 20 and some to 8 or something for certain skills that your tank will use. The first thing you want to do even if you don't want to heal is level a Conjurer to about 4 for the solo heal that all your other guys can use.

man, after resubbing and not having played since 2.1, I am having an absolute blast. Hildibrand quests were pretty funny for what they were. The content additions so far are pretty cool (Dungeons, Raids, and Primals) and above all, I am amazed with how much I am enjoying the Frontline PVP. I am normally not a big fan of PVP Arena garbage but I am all for the 3-way matches between the 48-72 players that the Frontlines are currently offering. All things considered, FFXIV seems to have a lot of staying power with its content updates, difficulty, and legitimate fun (although frequently grindy) content that's currently in. The main problem I've had through my experience is keeping a consistant static group to run the 8man coils with, without bleeding through a player each week.
I've been slowly chipping away at tradeskills as well, and even those seem leaps and bounds over the gather X+Y materials and click the combine button.

Tradeskills are a rabbit hole of evil. You get to a certain point in the 20s where you start needing stuff from other professions that can't be found on a vendor or farmed, so its either pay exorbitant amounts on the market, or level that other stuff up yourself. And then, hell, you need iron or elm or cotton or something, so you are also trying to level a gathering skill to avoid the market prices.
