Steps:
1) Load up FFXI from Playonline
2) Watch North Gustaberg fly-by for the millionth time

Pet peeve of mine. Happens to me regardless of which PC I use, across multiple operating systems (XP, 7, 8). First area to appear when loading up the main menu is always North Gustaberg, followed by Valkurm Dunes after character select.

This isn't the case on the Playstation 2 where it picks whatever fly-by enabled zone it feels like on a cold startup. Unable to comment on Xbox 360, unless someone else can speak on that matter.
