Please don't make me go through the tutorial every time you wipe the DB. I don't mind rebuilding characters but please just drop me in vivec or something.
On the PTS at the character creation screen, there's a drop down menu at the top left where you can choose your characters starting level, level 1, 160 CP or max CP (3600) iirc.
The non level 1 options I believe grant the option to skip the tutorial (or don't even have the tutorial as an option) and will drop you off either in the new zone (chapter PTS) or at a wayshrine closest to one of the new dungeons (Dungeon expansion PTS).
It's been a month since I jumped on PTS, so if someone can confirm or correct this, that would be good.
