Famitsu.com posted a short list of the main differences players can expect as Final Fantasy XIV moves into the beta phase.  According to information given at E3, we are only a few short weeks away, so let's take a look at what we can expect!

• The Effect Gauge, which influenced the accuracy and power of an attack, has been removed.
• Along with the removal of the Effect Gauge, the function of the Action Gauge has been altered.  Previously, the player would need a full Action Gauge to execute a command, whereas now commands instead consume a specific portion of the gauge.
• The Action Menu, where players can customize their list of actions, has been expanded to 30 slots.  There are 10 slots allocated for Traits (class-specific characteristics) and Abilities (crafting-specific characteristics)
• The "Physical Bonus" system, which affects HP/MP, stats and elemental affinities, has been changed.  Now, HP/MP rise automatically along with the player's level and only stats are customizable.  Also, the list of stats has been adjusted from 8 to 6.  Elemental affinities have been separated and will now require the use of "Elemental Bonus" points to increase.
• Throwing weapons have been added and can be equipped and used with the "Throw" action.
• Left/Right Ear 1 and Left/Right Finger 2 equipment slots have been added.
• New abilities can be set when a shield is equipped.
• Distance and orientation relative to the enemy will have more of an effect on the battle.
• The amount and variety of Guildleves has increased.
• The level cap has been increased.
• Players can now consume items.
• Food has been introduced, which is used to temporarily strengthen a player character.
• A number of changes have been made so the menus and chat logs are easier to read and navigate.
