Heard you can download this free on PS4, which one should I join if I want to play and what class should I play?

If you want to play with other people on B8, check out the spreadsheet in the first post for peoples' servers. You can play with people on different servers as long as they're in the same data center (most people here are on the Primal data center; Lamia is the plurality server).

As for what class you want to play, it's up to personal preference; note that pretty shortly into the game (I wanna say level 10 or 15?) you can start to freely switch classes whenever you're not in an instance, so if you make a "mistake" and pick a class you don't like it's not a big deal at all. The classes available from the start by role are:

Tank: Gladiator-->Paladin, Marauder-->Warrior

Healer: Conjurer-->White Mage, (Arcanist*)-->Scholar

Melee DPS: Pugilist-->Monk, Lancer-->Dragoon, Rogue**-->Ninja

Physical ranged DPS: Archer-->Bard

Magic ranged DPS: Thaumaturge-->Black Mage, Arcanist-->Summoner

*Arcanist is magic DPS, but can become both a Scholar and Summoner at level 30
**You can't start as a Rogue but can immediately switch to one class switching unlocks

The classes upgrading into jobs thing is a relic of the original version of the game, and other than the arcanist weirdness you can pretty much just consider the jobs to be upgraded base classes that happens at level 30.

Then there are some more jobs that were added in the expansions that you can switch to at higher levels if you own the relevant expansions.
