You fight harmless little wimp animals that could in REALITY be owned in 1 shot. Yet in Eorzea it takes 10 swings to kill a squirrel or a small bird.. way to make your character feel like a real winner!! I'm not advocating that there are no cool monsters, but the game really does start off with weak ass beanie babies for a good 10-15 lvls. In other MMO's you're fighting other casters and warriors as well as predatorial monsters immediately. *Activate Fanboy Mode* OP WTF YOU TALKIN ABOUT GO BACK TO WoW and RIFT OLOLO!LOL!@#OL!
