"Light party is four people - two jobs focused on doing damage, one healer, and one tank. Full party is eight people, two light parties put together. Rotation is the buttons to press in the right order as a certain job to do the most damage possible. DPS is damage per second, higher number better, and auto follow is what it sounds like, you pick a person and your character follows them without any input from you."

"Neat! And which role would I be replacing Da-eun's husband on?"

"He actually mains tank, but so does Ji-woo, so he's cruelly forced to flex to DPS if we're all together. I'm DPS - er, the damage one - and Da-eun herself is a healer. So you'd be a second DPS. If for some reason your only reason for playing FFXIV is just to make us happy."

"Doooo iiiiit we'll be so happy~!"

A woman with wispy looking brown hair and green eyes arrives, takes stock of the scene, and sighs.

".... Are you trying to immediately leverage her into playing Final Fantasy with you," she guesses, without preamble. "Oh, uh - hello, pleasure to meet you, I'm Kim Da-eun, you absolutely do not have to join in on video games if it does not spark joy."

"I expect I'll like it if I try it! Maybe I'll try to get you all to take up crochet, for symmetry. Kim Suk-Ja, it's lovely to meet you too!" Handshake?

Handshake! Nope, not compatible. She smiles apologetically.

"Well, as long as you don't feel like you have to."

"I will take you up on that, actually, that sounds like a great thing to do with my hands while I'm backlashed? I get so bored."

"I've never tried to do it blind but it's pretty repetitive, I bet you could! I've got a bunch of yarn and hooks I can bring for you to try it with."

"So, what's Quasar like? I read their brochure but that's not the same as a firsthand account."

"So, that's - it offers a lot of resources at your disposal, but is less good at, hm, systematic direction and organization?" says Da-eun, delicately.

"It has more money than sense sometimes, but it means well," clarifies Ji-woo. "It actually wants to help you do your best instead of, like - what's best for the guild. Which is, uh. Rarer than you'd think."

Potentially concerning but they seem to have done a good job for Ji-woo? "Ji-woo, do you think they're effective at getting you the optimal patients? Like, serious cases only you can help, rather than whoever has connections? Or whatever system you want them to use."

Suk-Ja is still unsure how much she should be optimizing for "make lots of money and donate it" versus "cure the people who need it most, including ones who don't have a lot of money"; she needs to learn more about her powers to really know what her options are there.

"Yeah, between them and the government, they're effective, and you absolutely get all of my notes and access to my staff. But it's - it was all mostly directed by me, or people I hire, and that's, uh. Jumping in to the deep end a bit?"

"The freedom to do what you want, but also the freedom to screw yourself over a bit and do stuff like - overbook yourself, or miss the big picture, so on."

"Not that any of us have ever done that," says Da-eun, dryly, looking straight at Ji-woo.

"AHEM anyway so they're good but you - will get what you ask for and that can be a lot!"

"It sounds like I'm going to get a lot of benefit from you knowing some already-vetted people who can help me vet people, then! But I want to do some more experimenting before I scale anything up; there are so many health problems I haven't even tried yet. I kind of just want to walk through a hospital curing people and writing down which of their problems I solved until I" get kicked out for barfing in the hallway "hit my limit, unless setting me up with a bunch of people who have already signed consent forms and all have different illnesses would take less time than I think."
