I would suggest starting out as a Pugilist, as you'll need it at level 15 in order to unlock Ninja later on.
Welcome to the game!
Dogberry has the right of it. It was added recently and behind a "roadblock" of requiring a level 10 character first to get the quest leading you to the Rogue's Guild in Limsa.
Do be aware, though, that Pugilists (if you take that route like Dogberry suggests, and it's not a bad one!) start in Ul'dah, and you'll have to wait until you unlock the ability to travel to the other cities through the main story quest before being able to unlock Rogue.
Also, having started with the 14-day free trial myself (FFXIV's official one, which I'm assuming Steam's is as well), you should be aware of a few things.
- You cannot level a class about 20.
- You cannot send tells (but can receive them).
- You cannot join a Free Company (FFXIV's version of guilds).
You should have access to the quest that gets you your Chocobo at 20, but I believe that's walled off as well. I am not so certain on that one, though. All those restrictions go away once you move to the full version, of course. AND, there's usually a code involved with someone referring you to the trial that you can input when registering the full game to get both yourself and the person who sent you the code some neat items.
I'd be wary of that last part because I know quite a few folks would love the two-person Chocobo the referrer gets if the trial player does decide to stick around. (I may or may not be one of them, it's a really pretty bird.
)If the Steam trial is different from the normal two-week trial, then you can basically ignore everything I said after the second paragraph.
