Will add back after I post this <3 I can relate! My day to day is friends locked too, but I give access pretty easily so it's not a problem :D

Thank you for the rec! I will be checking it out soon. I have a knitting book but it's kind of vague and that first time that I tried, I couldn't quite figure it out. Normally I can pick up on things, but the book just didn't work.

You're very kind and I think it'd be fun to hang out sometime on FFXIV :D It may take me a bit to learn everything (MMOs sometimes can be overwhelming for me. But I will eventually learn an MMO) I play Destiny 2 with my husband on some days and it took a few months to learn things, but I eventually did. Elder Scrolls Online was the same too. Are there any monthly costs for FFXIV?

Re: knitting - if you're the kind of person that learns well from videos, then I suggest the following site:

https://www.knittinghelp.com

There's two basic ways to knit, Continental and English. Both produce the same fabric but differ in which hand the working yarn is held in. I can knit both ways but am much more comfortable with Continental. KnittingHelp.com has videos for BOTH methods and I'd suggest trying both to see which is more comfortable for you.

FFXIV is very generous with the amount of help dialogs they give you when you're first starting out! I will admit the heads-up display can be overwhelming a bit, but you soon learn to tune most of it out (and it is VERY adjustable so you can move things around to where they make sense for you.)

It does have monthly fees, but I feel they're well worth it for how many hours I put into the game each month. Here's the page with the fees in US dollars:

I play on a PlayStation 4, and so when I started I bought the game outright. It came with a free month of playtime. I don't know if they still do this if you buy the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

HOWEVER, there is a VERY generous free trial for the game, which is detailed here:

https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/na/

Basically, it allows you to play all classes up to level 60, and through the base game and the first expansion, Heavensward. If you're at all unsure you might enjoy the game, then I recommend playing the free trial.

The free trial does have limitations to it, which is spelled out here:

https://support.na.square-enix.com/rule.php?id=5382&tag=freetrial

Two of the restrictions that are especially important: you can't send/receive tells (direct messages to another player), and cannot join a Free Company. We'd still be able to play together but it would require some planning ahead.

I appreciate the help and the links! It did help. I will look into it tomorrow night and get my game patched and up to date (if it has any updates, that is). The free trial may be all I can do for now until I'm working a bit more consistently, but this sounds fun :D
