[size=+1]E3 2009: Final Fantasy XIV - What We Know[/size]

What platforms is Final Fantasy XIV coming to?
Currently the game is confirmed for PlayStation 3 and Windows PC. An Xbox 360 version isn\'t official, but Square Enix is considering the possibility that it could.

What do we know about the setting and the story?
It takes place on an all-new Final Fantasy world known as "Eorzea." Though it does share some monsters and races from Final Fantasy XI, they\'re not direct representations and have been altered in multiple ways that make them unique to Eorzea. The similarities in races will allow experienced FFXI players to create a new FFXIV character that looks somewhat comparable.

Watch our video interview with the development team here!Does it have a direct connection to Final Fantasy XI?
In some ways, yes it does. Not only does it share the same development team as the FF11, but the game will also allow players to create a character that is similar to their current Final Fantasy XI. Square Enix has also revealed to IGN that it is currently finding a solution that will let you transfer your character\'s names from FFXI to FFXIV.

On a related note, at the press conference, it was said that FFXI has another year of content planned. Does that mean that after that year is up that FFXI is done with?
No. To be specific, Square Enix has one year of content currently planned but has told us here at IGN that it isn\'t a mandated end for the series. If fans continue to support the game, then so will Square Enix.

What is the combat system like?
The development team won\'t say, but it did confirm to us that... Additionally, the heavy team-play aspect of FF11 has been deemphasized, and now exploration and battle is said to be more balanced between solo and team play.

How does the leveling system work?
Square Enix is cagey about how characters advance, but it has confirmed with IGN that growth is not based on experience and that it will work on a different system entirely.

What about jobs?
Jobs will return in Final Fantasy XIV, but they will be much different than the job system present in FFXI.

How important are the weapons?
Weapons are very important and have a heavy influence on your character and how they succeed in the game world. Square Enix says to look closely at the official FFXIV logo for hints and hidden meanings about how the game will work.

What hidden meanings?
Square Enix told us that when it approached Amano to do the logo art for FFXIV, that weapons were very important and to think of the concept of a "wheel." Specifically, a wheel of adventurers that has their weapon in front of them and an exposed backside -- which leaves each adventurer to rely heavily on their comrades and their friends. Let the speculation begin.

[size=+1]Final Fantasy XIV Classes Named[/size]

Square Enix has finally put some names to the images by announcing the new titles of some of the races in Final Fantasy XIV.

While similar in appearance to their Final Fantasy XI counterparts, the main races in Final Fantasy XIV will have different names and slightly different appearances.

FF11\'s Humans are now Hyuran, and have undergone minimal physical changes.

Tarutaru are now Lalafell and appear to be much taller than in FF11.

Galka are now Roegadyn and appear to have lost their tail - they also look larger than before.

Also revealed were two of the first classes for the game, Sorcerer and Fighter.
