Rumor: 4Gamer.net Nets Some Answers?

While forum trolling I happened upon what appears to be a quick translation of THIS.

According to ZAM user Maruchiru here is allot of info, just take it as rumor for now though...cause forum translations aren't to be trusted.

- FF14 project (coded name : rapture) was started 4 years old. At that time, it might be called FF15.. if SE is working on FF13, and FF14 for the offline version of FF series. 

- Eorzea. is a continent / place name. The world will be called ハイデリン (HADELN) . 

- They will add in some Science Fiction element like those in FF10 and FF13 on this game. It will be a total different type of fantasy compare to FF11. 

- It will use Square Enix ID Account system as to replace the pol system. 30 days unit payment system. 

- No selling in-game item planned. 

- All races from FF11 will be included in FF14. We cant tell you got other new races or not. at this moment. 

- Regarding job system., the keyword is [ Weapon ] . To enrich our new job system, we will put in weapon elements into it. 

- There will be High Level job system.  

- There wont be experience point level system on FF14. (updated, my mistake)  

- We are thinking to have character names (from FF11) transfer service. 

- Battle system will be focusing more on real time. Timing will be a very important factor. 

- The selling point for FF14 is [ Growth] .. 

- All song will be composed by Nobuo Uematsu. 5.1ch sound. 

- The leviathan like monster will have a important role. 

- The field that cast by blm ? we saw on the trailer, will be as a part of the battle system too. 

- Many Vs Many.. = Mob will be party to fight the player too. 

- PC spec requirement will be quite high. 

- Server max population will be 5- 6000 players. 

- Service will be available on 2010. Beta test wont be as long as WOW where they have their beta test like 9 months 

Interesting stuff there at any rate.
