Seems Square Enix sent Koku Gamer a series of 11 new screenshots, revealing some new monsters and character jobs in the upcoming game:
"The new jobs seem to be ‘Marauder’, ‘Pugilist’ and ‘Weaver’. The first title suggests a sort of tank sub-job, with the opposite possibly being the Pugilist; which will no doubt be a brawling class. The Weaver could either refer to a magic-based class or an actual weaver of clothes; our money’s on the former."

                                          

Classes

1. Archer

 

 

2. Maraude

3. Pugilist :

4. Weaver :

Since the game has no set class, (your class is based on the weapon that you'r using) there is 3 ways of doing stuff.

Fighting: Classes like: archer, lancer, gladiator, marauder, etc
Gathering: Classes like: hunter (hunt wild animals not actual monsters), woodcutter, fisher, etc.
Crafting: Classes like: Blacksmith, handicraft and whatnot, My guess would be that the Weaver is a craft class that makes clothe type of stuff, otherwise a mage type of class...

Very interesting, i have to say with just this type of implementation of classes, it already has a lot of depth in the game...can't wait!

When i play, going to be leveling towards a support class!

Gladiator

- The Best Defense

Gladiators are expert swordsmen, known for their battle prowess with blades of all designs: short and long, single- and double-edged, straight and curved. They favor combat at close range, where they masterfully execute a deadly array of hacks and slashes. The skill and pride of a gladiator instill such a confidence that they are said to never shun a fight.

For ages, gladiatorial techniques have evolved and proliferated to a staggering degree, adapting to fit any combat style. Dauntless gladiators will often ready sturdy shields in their off-hands, eager to defend comrades-in-arms. Others opt to forego such encumbrance, focusing all effort instead on their sword arm and pure offense. In addition, gladiators are also known to be formidable with throwing knives, and are master battle tacticians.

- For All Occasions
The history of the bastard sword is one of ambitious synthesis, as blacksmiths long sought to merge the best that all blades had to oiler. The end result persists in the modern form: an extended grip and blade combining the slashing edge of Ul'dahic swords with the thrusting power of those from Ishgard.

The simplicity of the round shield's design is surpassed only by its effectiveness in battle. Wooden and circular, it is now commonplace throughout all of Eorzea. The surfaces of these shields are often decorated with symbolic designs and patterns, coats of arms, and wards of defense.
