Haha, of course most games start out slow, but after 48 hours of gameplay, I still think FFXI hasn't really started properly, and hate that. Games should NEVER take a long time to kick it off. Unfortunately they do, but look at games like Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, Alundra, Diablo 2, or Parasite Eve 2. A few of the games I've played and that I like, and they all have a fairly speedy start.

Then again, FFXI is an MMORPG and you're supposed to make it start for yourself, but it's still hard when there are so few low-levels. On the other hand, I'm enjoying this game loads; you just have to get past the repetitive levelling between 1-10. But it's kind of bad of Square-Enix to have the beginning be so boring XD. I don't know why MMORPG's have these slow starts.
