Small edit was made to info just posted about alpha

EDIT 1:
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.

Man, I'm stoked about this. I'm ready to see more info about the magic users.

**Akiyama** · 2010-03-10 09:06

lol @ them basically saying 'Puglist is for people who don't want to worry about doing anything' ala most Warriors I played FFXI with.

lol sorry dude. I offered to help when they were looking for mods! :X

Hmm all Archer needs is a pet and its game time!

**Hyan** · 2010-03-10 09:59

Will be cool to see how the present alpha build differs from the German one. 6 months is quite a long time, after all.

While I was at Gamestop yesterday picking up FF13, the guy that plays XI that works there said that 14 just showed up in their computer. He said the tenative release date was December. With that being said, that makes me wonder how long the alpha/beta testing will last.

December is a safe date because they said it would be out this year. I doubt it'll actually be December though, maybe, but I doubt that's a date based on inside knowledge more than a guess.

Tits bigger than my previous elvaan that's for sure.

**SephYuyX** · 2010-03-10 10:36

Gamestop is just as bad as Amazon with reelease dates.
Theyre just putting them in the system with an estimate so they can start preorders.

Oh my. I cant make up my mind whether I want to play Archer or do it all over again on Lancer. ><;;

Lighting the Elmer Signal! /plays epic horn intro.

**Akiyama** · 2010-03-10 11:44

I'm planning on going Archer so I can get in before the nerf D:

**Lucavi** · 2010-03-10 11:45

Fuck yeah Lancer. Once a Drg, always a Drg.

**Akiyama** · 2010-03-10 11:46

Oh wow. Awesome screenshots. Looks like you can smack the ground for an AOE effect (I guess it's like the WSs and what not in XI.. only maybe regular hits too?) and then Archers look badass. D: Loved the stabbing-through-mobs thing.

Also, obligatory lollancer
