FFXIV: a Grand Company and a chocobo mount

Since the start back in the game I have made significant progress already. I took a few sessions to really focus on playing the main storyline (marked with the symbol Q jagged).
It has two large open attached - a Grand and the chocobo. The storyline leading to the election of company Grand, of the Association of NPC that gives you a small group stuff to buy and your relationship story-consent to one of the three major cities.
I finally see the advice on what to choose as a in-game story doesn't really tell me much. If I choose ffxiv gil buy Gridania because that is where I started? Do not follow the guide I must Select api abadi Ul'dah because they give the best gear for casters.

Our Company provides access to Grand I Company Grand guildleve quests - other subcategories of repeated content experience, gil (currency) and specific credits required to purchase the company. It is an essential part as I needed 2,000 to unlock The chocobo. Given that General activity also gives the company a fortune Grand once you have joined one, it wasn't long at all before I can I Mount the first bone.
Now that I have a lot of different forms of content to do and mountains to get around a little faster, so I went back to leveling class to open classes for more advanced, known as jobs in FFXIV laris. At the moment I feel difficult to make choices about what works to unlock.Clear work goals to is white magic (WHM) for advanced class healers to build my conjurer experience so far. Requires level 30 and level conjurer arcanist 15. I rather want to have damage dealer spec to play in the Group and also FATEs-Summoner sounds like it might be fun (it requires 30 arcanist and thaumaturge 15). One of the other options easier to level along with white magic I will go to scholars (arcanist 30 and conjurer 15) although they are other healers work. Thematically I would like to have a paladin is open but I'm not a fan of tanking so that doesn't make a lot of sense. Bard, a trader is in the range of damage, can also be fun to something totally different but that requires leveling two classes I have yet to have started on, archer and pugilist, so it should be a long-term goal.
As you know the system class/work in final fantasy gil offers many options and optional complexity to the game - I can just stage class/work a set Cap levels and unhappy, or I can level some other class and really opens up the possibility of my group and, importantly, open a few extra skills useful enough.
