FFXIVCore.com
just posted some leaked information about the FFXIV beta
test. The information is from a gamer' blog and it tells some of the
changes in the next beta test which will be revealed in tomorrow's
Famitsu. One of the biggest change is the enhanced graphic, which we have reported
before, and the other changes, according to the leaked infor, are about
system adjustments and new contents.


Enhanced beta graphic
The beta changes summary

• The beta version will see some system changes that will make it so
  that you can more easily string together your attacks.
  
• The alpha test had bad tempo with insufficient explanations.
  They've made some revisions to the beta, resulting in a completely
  different system.
  
• It will be easier to save up gil.
  
• Beta appears to use a different technique for its shadows. The
  alpha version used something called "Project Shadows" while the beta
  version uses "Depth Buffer Shadows."
  
• The city of Limsa Lominsa will have two levels.
  
• There will be a robust log filter in place. This is something
  that wasn't finished in time for the alpha.
  
• They're readying something large scale for your home, which
  functions like FFXI's Mog House.
  
• They'll soon be adding alpha testers as part of the new "alpha
  2" phase. They've already selected the participants via drawing!
  
• As you play the game you'll be able to freely change the god
  that you select during character making.
  
• Vehicles for FFXIV include chocobo, horse driven carriage,
  boat, and airship.
  
• You'll be able to select different colors for your equipment.

There are several other points that mentioned in another place,
FFXIVCore.com collects them, too.

• Items can be signed much like FFXI.
  
• Players can participate in the fighting arena (PvP? Against
  monsters?) and gambling within Ul'dah.
  
• They are considering allowing player bazaars to run while
  players are logged out.
