New information regarding Final Fantasy XI\'s available job classes has been reported, among other aspects of the game. Players can choose from at least fifteen job classes, including Warrior, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Red Mage, Black Mage, Knight, Summoner, Bard, Ninja, Samurai, Gunner, Hunter, Dark Knight and Trainer.

FFXI will also employ a Mission Ranking System designed to reward players by increasing their reputations as specific events are completed. Over time, a player\'s position in his or her own country may advance to Team Leader, or even General. A Link Shell system will also be implemented, allowing players to form clans or circle of friends by distributing their club or organization\'s own unique decorated shell. After purchasing a Link Shell and adorning it with the name and symbol of your club, you may hand it out to anyone whom you would like to add to your names list.

Perhaps the most promising new development is the game\'s usage of crystals. Representing the eight elements of fire, water, earth, wind, ice, thunder, light, and dark, FFXI\'s crystals allow players to use their respective flavors to fuse metals, cook meals, and combine plants. Specific skills are needed to harness the crystals\' energy, and players will not be able to activate higher-level effects unless they meet the prerequisite for that ability.

Cid fans will be disheartened to learn that the recurring Final Fantasy character is far-removed from the action, stuck running a weapons shop in one of the game\'s towns.
