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.
