Thanks for the help, y'all! 
I've sufficiently got my feet wet, and now that I'm in my 20s I have got a general knack of the game and what's going on and how it all connects.
I ended up transferring to Balmung, by the way. Is there a Free Company directory I've missed? I perused all the linkshells that was linked to me by Zoe, but some are FC based and some aren't. And the couple that I thought would mesh well are Heavy RP focused, and right now my focus is to take my time getting to 50 and exploring the world and my character (and some light RP), but I don't wanna delve much into heavy RP until later.
Oh, and regarding the rest of the world map... very exciting stuff to know that there is so much possibility out there for expansion! I'm blown away at the detail of all of Eorzea... it's a whole world itself! Loving all the lore.Â
EDIT: So I just discovered FFXI... which has all the same races FFXIV has, but with entirely different names? And the world is Vana'diel? Are the Final Fantasy games not all set in the same world, or what? I was surprised that after such a long FF history, there was only one continent to map (Eorzea), but after poking round the FFXI website, I am just all kinds of confused!
