Is FF14 worth playing for free?

Absolutely : you have a few limits but you can play until level 70 (Stormblood end) for free with no time limit. It's not a scam, it's just that FF14 is so successful (it's the only MMO RPG that, in DPS class I could do a raid at 1 A.M and not wait for long as example).

Is FF14 noob friendly?

Almost every class is good for beginners. Tank classes are easier than they are in most MMOs, though tank "pressure" is still totally a thing. Most of the dps classes are pretty simple, except for the ones added later that you can't unlock until a higher level anyway. I like Lancer as a starting DPS class.
