while the section grew on me, it was a poor way to start the game especially if you didn't know what had happened in chain of Memories

You can't level up for the first few hours, you also receive tutorials for more than half the game.

The opening cutscene lasts 12 minutes, and you cannot skip it in the PS2 version. Worse you have to keep hitting X to progress the dialogue.

It can be around 4 hours before you can hunt your first big monster. And a lot of the game's mechanics are not very well conveyed.
