Details on character classes, online world and story in Final Fantasy XIV were revealed this morning.

For those who missed Final Fantasy XIV's surprise showing at E3 this year (and its beautiful CG teaser), Square-Enix has released new details on the upcoming online game. The recently updated website gives insight into the five different character classes, one of which shares a striking resemblance to a certain Lord of the Rings character (see above). Aside from the classes, three city-states found in the world are detailed, as well as an introduction into the overall game world and story (fans can read up on the main site for finer details). The site still has a general 2010 release date for the game, but we may get a closer look as the website continues to be updated.
