Seriously guys if you play this game start in Limsa Lominsa (or Ul'dar if there's a crafting guild you need there). Gridania's higher level guildleves are way too hard and give crappy rewards and EXP. The monsters do obscene amounts of damage, even in groups, and they're surrounded by wild aggressive monsters like Lone Wolves who can easily kill off all but the toughest of solo players. Also, the prospect of fighting a Leviathan is a heck of a lot more interesting than going up against a Treant. Not sure what Ul'dar's "starter boss monster" is but I'm sure it's cooler than a frigging Ent for Pete's sake.
Also I'm just mad because I have to raise my Lancer rank four more times before I unlock the third story mission. I hope there are more storyline quests than this in the final release... t.t
