There have been several screenshots of the "Blue Mage" job, and speculation towards the Geomancer and Chocobo Knight jobs. Once I refind the screenies of BLU, I'll continue to look into GEO and CHK.

the new job is the "BUM" or Blue Mage job, look closely at the way they do their skills.
the tarutaru BUM is using the Spider's Slow attack, and the Hume or Elvaan one (tall one) is using a Flame Breath attack.
the areas shown in the movie is the new locations, i don't know anything about it, but the JP in my LS says it refers to some "Land of the Gigas"
so more giants?

SE is a bunch of crackwhores...in the 2006-2007 expansion, I bet they are gonna release the gold, silver, and pink mages -_- as far as I hear though, "BUM" (love the abbriviation) are supposed to steal a mob's attack or something. It would be some funny s**t to steal 10,000 needles from cactrot rapido, or a Thunder-ga 17 from Vrtra... (But of course, SE will crush these dreams gonk )

Thats the problem Naeo dear...no one knows. It seems to me just by the look of it, that it might be a little too powerfull an soloish to be part of partys...so it might end up like bst an be more of a solo job. *shrug*

Looked into it, and it looks ligit to me.
There is another thread in the guild with this link, but I'll post it here anyway.
http://rapidshare.de/files/5154467/upload10000029154.zip.html
3/4 through the teaser, you see two Blue Mages (most likely in AF for show of a new job) using two familiar abilities. These abilities look similar to monster abilities, but may be varied for balance. I would say it is safe to assume the Blue Mage will be an actual job in the new expansion.
No other information is known about the abilities, but seeing as monster abilities vary from offensive to defensive, this may very well be a solo class. I would guess that spells are learned from SCROLLs to allow lower level players the same access to the abilities as higher level characters.
If learned from monsters, the abilities would most likely have a "Learning Cap", or a specific minimum level you must reach to be able to obtain a specific ability.
These abilities may use MP like past Final Fantasy games: (Ex FFX-2 : Gunmage or FFTactics : Blue Mage).
In the past, blue mages were a mix of damage and support, containing an arsenal of abilities such as dragon Breath Attacks, or a common "White Wind" ability for healing. Blue Mages, much like Red Mages, used sword, but usually heavier than the light rapiers. Learning abilities in past FF games would have the following two basic steps:
1) Putting an enemy in a condition that it would use an offensive ability on you, or letting a defensive ability reflect off the monster and onto you.
2) You get hit with the ability and learn it with a passive ability called "Learning".
Note: In some Final Fantasy games, you were allowed to be K.O.'d by the ability and learn it, and others required you to live. Also, not all abilities can be learned.
No one is sure if FFXI will follow the same traditions as past FF games.
I'll edit this as more information is released.

unfortunately i have had to stop playing ff11 for the next few weeks because of starting school up again.
So my summoner is stuck at 37 ><
whm is there too <.<
i wanna see if they add any more avatars!!! domokun
though with more jobs and smn being one of the most hated jobs at the mo i'm hoping they give avatars better abilities and more usefulness in parties OR make them better at soloing. twisted
