SteveManly over at FFXIVCore has come across a cornucopia of information and images of Final Fantasy XIV from this month's issue of Famitsu.

An interview with Square Enix's battle director Atsushi Okada and planners Sei Sato and Kenichi Iwao discusses a number of topics ranging from the role of elements in FFXIV, to the importance of distance in combat,  to how MP replenishment will work.

There is also a breakdown of a number of the game's Jobs including descriptions of their abilities and comments from the developers themselves. The jobs outlined include: Conjurer, Thaumaturge, Blacksmith, Miner, Pugilist and Archer.

Screenshots from the VanaFest 2010 opening trailer are also available, but what is most interesting is a single in-game screenshot that also features the game UI.
