What is blocked when playing the free version of FF14?

I'm trying to read up on what is and what isn't in the free version of Final Fantasy XIV.

So far what I can see that is blocked is

Level Capped at 60 (so what is the usual cap? is 60 halfway up? 3/4 up the levels?)
No Free companies (in generic MMORPG terms... what is that?)
No parties (are they talking about player groups to quest together? that seems like a huge thing to block.)

So what is and isn't blocked in FF14 free trial version? And if you could please translate FF14-terms to generic MMO terms like raids/guilds/pvp?
