Looks like more info is starting to come out about FFXIV, I guess they were waiting for FFXIII's release to start giving out info. It looks like the beta tests should be starting in the next month or two here..
Here are some screenshots:

The speculation going around forums about this game is that they're limiting the amount of classes, and making it to where you gain abilities based off of which weapon you use. Not like FFXI where you get weapon skills based on the weapon, but actual abilities.
For example, if the warriorish class uses a polearm they may learn jump like a dragoon, if they use sword and shield they'd get advanced warrior techniques, and if they use a mace and shield they may learn some paladinish abilities... something to that effect. But that's 100% speculation.
I do like how all the races are split into two tribes each, though. And how there's far more customization then the older game.
Anyone here expecting to play this game?
