I gave the Wii U and Xbox One a fair try, but have finally decided I'm going to go with PS4.  What sold me was accidentally coming across a video of Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn playing the Prelude in HD, and it brought back some memories and a huge desire to play.  This generation the PS4 is destroyihng all, and I know it's going to have a ton of games like Tales of Xillia and other great 3rd partie titles I want to play.  I won't be missing out on this greatness, that is for sure.

My first game I want to play is FF14:ARR.  I generally like warrior or melee DPS type classes, which I think means Dragoon, Monk, or Rogue.  My fear as a complete newbie is that I will not get invite to raids at level cap, becasue raids I imagine would be very anti-melee as in many MMORPGs.  If that is the case, I will most likley be a bard or healer in FF14 so I can learn things.  Since I will be completely new, I do have a few questions...

Does this game have a recurit-a-friend type system?  What are raids lke for melee DPS?   How long does it take to hit level cap?  Is there anything a newbie had better know now before logging in?  I'd appreciate any help and tips you can offer.  My white PS4 has been shipped so I need something quick before I get sucked into Destiny! :)
