i've been intrigued by this game quite a bit but then i watch some footage and it just seems like way too much to figure out

It's not even remotely as complicated as it looks like from afar, and I say this as someone who used that excuse for a long time. Once you get invested the only thing that should give you trouble is figuring out how you want to customize your UI. All the normal difficulty progression content is also incredibly forgiving. There is no story content locked behind high difficulty content, other than maybe some alternate forms for raid bosses of old FF characters, and that's just visual stuff.

I had absolutely no MMO experience going into it and was doing some absolutely embarrasing stuff all the way up until the end of the base game, but it ever actually hindered my profession in the slightest.

If you really want to play it safe, just play as a DPS job. Other than affecting how long a dungeon or boss takes to beat, you won't have any actual responsibility until you hit level 60!
