Mystery Bar

[Stanislaw]

I don't want to go on any huge theories here but... in the 2.0 screenshot they have revealed, I'm having trouble identifying a few things.

To the left of each person's name, in the party window, there is a bar that seems to be filling up, and above it says 'T1' 'A2' 'B3' A4' 'C5' 'A6' 'T7' 'H8'.

My personal speculation would be some sort of Limit Break bar or something. I also have no clue what the letters and numbers mean. At first I thought coordinates on the map, but a lot of those players are really close to each other.

On the other hand, the numbers match the numbers next to their LS symbol.

Second is the bottom right. All the colored squares. I'm at a complete loss and don't really have any theories.

Now, under some of the skills in the skill bar, it has a TP cost listed. But on some skills it has what appears to be a cog symbol.

Everything we think up is speculation, but I'd like to know what ya'll think some of these mystery elements are.

Threads in the JP forums have speculated the 'T1' 'A2' 'B3' A4' 'C5' 'A6' 'T7' 'H8' might mean T=Tank, A=Attacker, B=Buffer, C=Caster, H=Healer and the numbers correspond to party order (with you being 1 and PC2~8 being 2~8). Under the new UI, it just might be possible to assign specific roles to each party member and quickly see which party member does what in any given party.

As for the bars right next to it, we speculated that they were 'hate' bars - the higher they are, the more hate you have. If it's any proof, you'll notice that T1, the tank, has his bar full and the mob is looking directly at him.
