What's all these stats do?
For the sake of brevity, only the basic outline will be covered. Exceptions and "buts" which apply to high-end PvE content will not be mentioned due to added complexity and if you're at the point of optimising at that level, this info isn't for you.
Primary stats include Strength, Dexterity, Intellect, Mind and Vitality. All of these stats can be allocated with your bonus points for levelling up.
Secondary stats include Critical Hit, Determination, Direct Hit, Tenacity, Skill Speed, Spell Speed and Piety.
A "tertiary" stat is weapon damage. Weapon damage is king and any increase will make a very significant impact on your effectiveness.
Each combat class/job will have a preferred primary stat. For tanks, this is Vitality. Melee DPS except Rogues/Ninjas will favor Strength. Ranged physical DPS and Rogues/Ninjas want Dexterity. Casters will want Intellect and finally Healers want Mind. The primary stats will have a significant effect on all your abilities.
Secondary stats are a fair bit more complicated.
Critical Hit - Increases the chance for a hit to deal extra damage as a critical hit. This stat also increases the severity of the critical hits.
Direct Hit - Similar to Critical Hit, Direct Hits deal extra damage compared to a normal hit. Compared to critical hit, direct hits are lower severity, but occur more often. As with critical hit, this stat increases the severity of the direct hits in addition to increasing the chance a direct hit will occur. This stat can only be found on DPS role gear, however it can be melded via materia on Tank and Healer gear.
Determination - Increases the potency of all skills and abilities.
Skill Speed - Rather complex stat. It affects Damage over Time effects at around the same potency as Determination but has other effects in reducing the GCD of weaponskills. Advanced players who are aiming at optimising their play will seek certain amounts of skill speed. Value is dependant on job.
Tenacity - A new stat introduced with 4.0 Stormblood. This stat replaces Parry and is only available on tank gear, and only affects jobs and classes of the Tank role. This stat increases damage done, reduces damage taken and increases the potency of healing spells and effects.
Spell Speed - Similar to Skill Speed, this stat affects the cast time and the GCD of spells. Black Mages will sell their own mothers for more spell speed and as a result, the stat occupies a value higher than crit for them. It's still a good stat for any other caster, including healers as it also affects periodic effects such as Damage over Time effects and Heal over Time effects.
Piety - This stat increases the maximum MP of class and jobs of the Healer role. It will not have any effect on Tank or DPS role classes. Piety also has the side-effect of increasing MP regeneration as the base regeneration is a function of maximum MP set at 2% every 3 seconds while in combat. The amount of MP desired by healers differs based on personal preference with some favouring a larger MP pool to have a strong reserve amount while others prefer minimal amounts of MP. As of 4.0 Stormblood, Piety is now considered as a full secondary stat, and has the same equipment stat caps as all the other secondary stats on all 4.0 and newer items.

Please @ me when you got what you need.
i have produced the amount of information that i think is encouraging for people to try out
i strongly feel that three+ posts about the game, half of which are endgame resources for last expansion, is a level of daunting that does not encourage new players
what encourages new players is an active, fun thread and an engaged community
and geth has randomly granted me the terrible power to make manifest my beliefs
Well I for one welcome you as our new overlord.

Get your CUL to 38, the cross-skill you get is bonkers strong.
if you parse with pubs... you might not like what you see
Was it Titan EX and they backflipped off?
The NIN is doing thousands of dps and the fight lasted 7 minutes so nope
You've never run into the legendary Jolt mage? The little brother of the Blizzard mage.
...and that's it, they just spam those spells the whole dungeon or whatever and ARGGGGHHHH. It's like... the laziest bots ever.

It's good to know that addons exist even though they gave up on ever supporting them.
They never really gave up on them, they just had zero intention of ever supporting them.
They originally claimed they'd have addon support around six to eight months after the ARR launch.
And there was this from an interview in 2014:
Even now their position on third party addons is that you do not talk about addons.
Which one?
Because "you have to tell me if you're a cop" is a laughable line to pull in Limsa Lominsa.

And the rum.
Well I don't know about one with no skill, but I'd say Paladins make for the best tanks at the moment with Warriors a very close second.
I think part of it is that it also shapes how they can make encounters. If you look at fights in WoW, the expectation on the part of the devs is that someone is going to be running DBM/BigWigs and weak auras, which means they can make some weird shit mechanically. FFXIV doesn't have that to the same extent (ACT timers are a thing but they don't trivialize fights), and the devs can't allow for mods because PS4 players have no means of using them.
