hi all, i just got my own pc, beside sharing with my bro's who had moved out. after overwhelming by the new Stormblood trailer everywhere, i might happen to get this game... after clearing few doubts, which i hope you guys can kindly help me out.

1) my bro played n quit this game b4, should i continue his acc and catch up the lore from somewhere else like youtube? or should i start a new one?

2) its been a while since this game launched, will i still be able to catch up if i start fresh?

3) will i save up a lot of subscription fees if i continue my bro's acc?

4) as i start fresh, do i have to take very long time (like more than a year) to reach the latest part of the game? about how long i have to take to catch up? says i play 3-4 hours a day.

sorry for the long post, as i'm new in lyn aswell. i have no where else to ask even i have been doing the search about the game until this late.
