A few selected posts by the SE team there:
- Hopefully there will be a comment by the dev team shortly regarding saving skill sets.
- Changes/additional options to the character creation system are being looked into. Any changes made will likely come with the option to change the look of your character.
- The aggro icon will become optional, and there will also be the enemy level on display.
- Auto-attack will make a return. From the long post made by the SE team it sounds like they will be revamping the battle system in some notable way. The auto-attack can also be expected to be faster than FFXI's auto-attack, meaning less time standing around facing your enemy, which I like.
- The volume adjustment is currently on a one-volume-for-everything system. While not a priority at the moment, this is something that will be looked into going forward with the hope to allow for different things such as ambient sounds etc. to have their own volume.
- Death penalty is something being looked at, see this post for the thoughts of Yoshida on the matter.
