I'm hoping the beta will have at least most core features.

And I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but I really hope that items will be central to this game's combat system, unlike FFXI. I mean stuff like potions and ethers. They're nearly useless in FFXI. Personally I'd rather they just give them a cool down, make them stackable, and make them more potent. And cheap. And the ability to use items on others. Really, I could go on for hours about what I felt was flawed about items in FFXI.

The summons are really the only thing that seemed that interesting to me out of all of it. Did they mean we will be able to summon them, but it might be a bit difficult to get them? Seems like Summoner all over again, which really, I thought was a bad system.
