Open Beta player looking to return.

[Shikaree]

If you can find one of the previous Letters from the Producer topics on the Lodestone, you can see there's plans down for trying to get in some class specific gear (they have an outline for black mage), but they're trying to figure out first how they want to implement the new class system when it comes to traditional jobs. Otherwise most gear looks similar to one another at this point, but there are robes you can at least equip.

Edit note: Here's the topic http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...449d1b7c37eb49

You mentioned you were in beta, but did you get the actual game? If you don't have the game, it's out for decently cheap in stores and it's free to play until an undetermined date. But at the same time, I would wait on playing if you're looking for content. My play times mostly consist of just getting on for leves atm for an idea, and I rarely grind outside of that.

I'd at least wait to see what the next content patches better detail, they're supposed to start up some changes to get ready for instanced combat zones and such. Right now we don't know anything else besides "zomg! bigger fireballs!" and the Easter event.
