For those of you who cant read German or Japanese, we have a closer look at the User Interface. http://www.eorzeapedia.com

The game was built for the PC first and then ported to PS3 The PS3 version will have keyboard/mouse support Cutscenes will have voice acting

•Guildleves allow use of the Aetheryte transit system as well as access to restricted areas and other special privileges.

•They are looking into a variety of payment options including pre-paid cards

Tanaka states that there could be something along the lines of a BETA before 2010 as soon as "preparation is done."

FFXIV will have its own “religion” and the setting will be very unique – borrowing sci-fi and medieval elements.

Surnames may be added to help people retain their FFXI character names in XIV.

Tanaka was very pleased Nobuo Uematsu was scoring the whole FFXIV soundtrack.

Square Enix released high quality pictures of four more classes: Weaver, Marauder, Pugilist, and Archer.

In order to switch into these jobs, you have to equip the appropriate weapon.

Weavers require a needle, the Marauder uses an axe called Bhuj, the hand-to-hand Pugilist uses Baghnakhs, and the Archer has a Short Bow.
