I'm just going to list a bunch of the things being reported. Remember, we don't have pics yet and the magazines don't come out until tomorrow or the day after. In other words, all of this is UNCONFIRMED at the time I write this. Some of it we have heard before tho. Also, I will probably misspell a lot of things because I'm not going to bother looking up English terms.
Don't hurt me.The writeups will have pictures from the alpha build and interviews.
When fighting, you have to think of distance and position. Also, moving parties will be the norm compared to the non-moving pull back to camp style of FFXI.
MP will not auto-refresh. You will have to be careful with how you manage MP. There will be ways to gain MP.
There will be 6 elements. Some people are saying that Light and Dark will not be present.
Puglists have steal.
You can throw javelins at enemies that are not in a battle state to do a sort of sneak attack.
Marauder's have low accuracy. They also have a meditate-like ability to store... something. Probably TP.
Horticulturalist are the only ones that can see digging spots meant for them. They can dig up stuff during battle that can be used to back up the party and increase the spoils of battle (maybe). The more of these people you have, the more items you can get it sounds like.
When a blacksmith repairs your weapon, you don't have to hand it over!!!
The alpha build requires a computer with high specs. Some are saying its due to a lack of config options. The final product will require lower specs.
VRAM512MB is enough.
Not all parts of character making will be present in the beta. In particular, you cannot do facial customization.
There is a mode where you can walk around to regain HP.
There are spells you can cast while moving.
There are many ways to earn TP. You can earn TP from spellcasting as well.
General parties are 6 to 8 people. Alliances are also possible.
There are alpha build screenshots. People say there are small things that are different from the German alpha build we saw at Gamescom.
Gladiators and Puglists have a way to gain hate.
Gladiators have a version of Phalanx different from FF11. Their version is where you can guard with a shield while still attacking.
Puglists have a provoke ability called Whistle.
Remember, at this time all of this is unconfirmed! However, we can expect to see real updates soon. And, if SE keeps up their habit, we'll see updates to the NA website to tie in with the magazine releases.
EDIT 1:
Thanks to Cyberbeing over on the ZAM forums, I was able to look through his list and get a few more things. Remember, this is all just chatter on 2ch and we still can't confirm details. But, it's fun to mull over it all right?
The Thaumaturge will be able to suck MP from enemies that have no HP. i.e. after you defeat a monster, it'll stick around for you to drain MP from.
The Puglist job is for people who don't want to worry about small details.
The Marauder job is for people who like finishing off enemies (...not sure since we don't have the real text yet but thats what it sounds like)
The Archer job is for people who like to fight solo or work on their own
There are times where your defense (defensive moves perhaps?) kicks in automatically and other times where you have to activate it yourself
There is some kind of relief measure for Archers when they run out of arrows. (No idea what that specifically means right now.)
Archers have an ability to make enemies run away.
Archers will use bows, not crossbows. A crossbow might be used by a different class in the future (unsure about it at this time)
Arrow types are not by material as in FFXI. Instead, they will be sorted by number (number of arrows? number of enemies? i don't know), the type of enemy, and topography.
Famitsu will have 10 pages. Dengeki will have 8 pages. alpha build screenshots are included as are interviews.
The word for enmity will change in Japanese. No idea how it will change in English.
REMEMBER ALL OF THIS IS UNCONFIRMED AT THIS TIME!
