    I'm thinking Lancer, Archer and Conjurer.

    And that's a pretty narrow focus for me. Normally i'm hit with a serious case of altitis, so being able to switch jobs is a godsend.

    I wonder why?

    As for me, I have FFXIV added to my list of candidates for future MMOs to replace WoW in my heart. After 3 and a half years, I need a fresh start somewhere else. Thus far FF has chocobos, a very intriguing crafting system, and top end graphics going for it as well as the PS3 thing. It's competing for my love with Star Wars: OR and Guild Wars 2.

    The beta is tempting.

    If pugilists make any sort of decent off/evasion/stun tanks I'm going that route. Otherwise, I'm hopping all over gladiator. I really need to know more about battle styles before picking a caster class to get my alt-itis fix.

    Check out the media - 8th column, bottom row - now those are crabs. D:

    From the screen shots it looks like the in game cut scenes will be awesome, I really hope they add more classes later on as summoner and bard were my favorite to play.

    I'm not sure we've seen all the classes. There are only two magic classes on the NA site currently, and I find that hard to believe. Especially since there are four or five martial classes present.

    heh. That crab is edited. It's a comparison between the two. The original screenshot can be seen on the main site and includes no cute blue crabs.

    My computer isn't very beefy, but hopefully I'll get into the beta to test the game's performance for those of us with lower-to-mid-end PCs.

    I'll probably play a lancer, though if there really is some incentive to switch professions, I'll take up botany as well.

    in 99% of the cases it's a male pretending to be a female.

    The details are a bit fuzzy yet, but you can level any and all classes and professions on a single character (unlike 99% of other MMOs). You're only limited by the time it takes to level each seperately. To me, it's kind of the defining feature to FFXI/V.

    Being able to mix up main class and sub class is what made FFXI great, I still remember running around as wht/bst or smn/thf for infinit mana. I just hope they make leveling up professions a bit easier, it wasnt much fun farming up the mats just to break everything and maybe gain 1 skill up.

    Ok yea but i thought it worked liked. i lvld miner to lvl 25 and got skill golddigger, so now whenever theres a monster thats... i guess made of gold?.... i do +5% dmg.

    Not, Ima gladiator, we're gonna fight a bunch of gold monsters, let me change my class to Miner and fight as a miner.

    Could be either way. Not much detail on the limitations of switching or if you can mix and match or ...really anything about the armoury system aside from the fact that switching will be done out of combat.

    Ah well no matter. It is only a matter of time and then the internet will be filled with mass amounts of images of the Miqo'te.
