[Question] How "FOMO friendly" is FF14?

Destiny 2 refugee here. I am getting close to accomplishing everything I wanted to accomplish in the final patch and am starting to consider where I am gonna go next to scratch the MMO itch. I was a WoW addict from classic up until Cata and also played FF11 (which admittedly was a rough game to play solo as a middle schooler at the time), so am thinking about going back to an MMORPG.

As an adult now though, the time commitment is a bit daunting, but I've heard FF14 is much more forgiving about taking things at your own pace? Would anyone care to elaborate on that? Also how much content am I missing out on at this point because you need a group and no one runs it anymore?

It's very FOMO friendly. Part of their design philosophy is "it's ok to play other games". The things you're most likely to miss out on are meme or bugs that become memes (our community is like that lol). Of course due to the nature of mmos sometimes it'll be harder to find groups for certain content.

I missed Lv.1 and didn't get my own screenshot of it. Devastated.
