Shameless necro bump.

I wanna see if anyone feels the same way I do. Personally, I get into a game pretty quickly without help, but it would be cool to see a game help assimilate a new player into the game so they feel welcome and could get right into the game right away. The way it is now, the game pretty much goes through the beginning cutscene for your starting city and you're out on your own. No explanation for leves, behests, crafting, gathering, wards, retainers, user interface, etc. as they are something you have to learn yourself. Sure, this information is on the FFXIV website, but I don't think it should be where new players should be directed to.

I don't know, I just want to see the game welcome new players, especially since it's riding on its popularity upon the PS3 release.
