      It can be played almost entirely single player from the beginning now, and the story is really good after ARR (which is serviceable for setting up the world).

      There is also a free trial that goes through Stormblood (the second expansion) so you can try without paying anything

      You’d have to get through a couple hundred hours of main story quest to get to current content.

      So if you like JRPG stories and/or extensive character dress-up: Great idea do recommend

      If you like endgame content and raiding and stuff: It’s not the best and probably not worth the couple hundred hours of MSQ

      I started playing in August of last year and finished endwalker (the last expansion before dawntrail) in January. It’s very “easy to get into” imo but the base game is a slog for sure. If you don’t mind putting in time (or as the other comment suggests, money) then yes, it’s a very easy game to get into. It’s my first mmo btw.
