FFXIV is just really really disappointing!

Well hopefully SE looks at these posts and sees the need for some good tutorial action going on here in the next few updates.

there already is a battle tutorial. Its the first thing you do when you log in as a new character.

You KNOW that's hardly a tutorial. That's basically Tanaka putting a little text insert that should have been in the manual in the first place. A Real tutorial is something like the opening level to Gears of War or The Last Story that actively introduces you to new concepts and guides you through it to make sure you learned exactly what you need to learn.

Obviously for us who played through FFXI, anything is a step up, but a little text box does not a tutorial make.

I know about tutorial and 99% of the time it is just a lil text box. Least in the rpg I played such as oblivion. you read the box press the button and you get a cookie.

Honestly I thought that the ffxi tutorial (while being a little old world) was very good. You started in a safe zone, and just talking to your first npc you could ask for directions based on what you wanted to do (kill stuff, make money, craft, etc) Tanaka's style is a little rough to some to just through someone into the fight. On that note, I didn't have any problems myself.
