Bunch of good info & videos on the front page of core.

Gotta admit the new battle system looks way interesting. Like not boring on waiting for your next attack, it is up to you how you want to attack depending on your stamina. And S-E confirmed that they may or may not add a new playable race in one of the future expansions. Allot of interesting info lurking around. Beta will start in about a month or so, game will be officially released around Nov/Dec. More than likely Dec but it is guaranteed that it is a 2010 release.

enjoy:

Where'd ya get the chart?

Meanwhile, Flayer and some of the new classes seem interesting and some are unexpected like Bard and Samurai.

[Hyanmensire]

Yarly, would have thought they'd be Minstrel and Bushido or something like that. Could be placeholders for all we know though, I hope so because Flayer should be Archaeologist.

[treelo]

No daggers, don't care.

[Varizen]

Daggers are put in with Gladiator. They exist.

[nahla]

y is the gladiator using daggers, ugh

[Varizen]

Because you can mix and match? You don't even have to use any of your native class abilities if you don't want. Thusly... creating your own class.

[Rhayve]

Have they confirmed that all those classes will be available at release? That's quite a lot... will be rather difficult to get accustomed to all of them and to memorize what each of them will be capable of under what circumstances. Also, what exactly are "Dark Arts" that an Assassin has access to? Ninjutsu?

[Varizen]

Keep in mind around half of those are crafters.

Also yeah, I'm figuring Darkarts is Ninjutsu and will be similar to NIN. Also thinking Arcanist will be the Scythe class.

[Dart]

They could also do what they did in FFXI and place them as "Advanced jobs" that you have to unlock at a certain level.

[renzuko]

or be like disgaea, and only have access to them when you have a certain mixture of jobs lvl'd >.>

[nahla]

id still like to know where this chart came from... the creator has yet to comment on that....

I agree that it will be overwhelming to get accustomed to all of them if released at the start. However, many are trade skills and the huge variety will be awesome. I think it will give parties a nice mixture instead of "GOTTA HAVE THIS!"

Bard? WOOHOO!

[DaEvilOne]

I wonder if fencer will be like dancer. Call it lame but I didn't think about it until I saw the abbreviation FNC lol

They said they'll release them in updates after the game is live.

Probably one class per update, that'd be so awesome if true .

Also, 30+ classes to take to cap, we'll be busy for a long time >_>

The list was .dat mined by "undefined" from the blue gartr web site.

Probably a fanmade one. I know people mined the data in the alpha and found this awhile back.

[Dantai]

Enforcer... does this mean you can finally use a club effectively without being a mage?
I'm assuming Fencer may be the new thief.
And why is Gladiator written as GRadiator in the japanese collumn.

Iknorite! @_@ I became a million times more excited seeing Bard in the list there (and not changed to something like Minstrel... Bard sounds better imo)
