Although I never played Chains of Promathia, I do enjoy the song "Distant Worlds" quite a lot. I tend not to listen to the original version, though.

I haven't played FFXI in a long while, and I never really had a good grasp on how the game even really worked, so I don't have anything to bring to the discussion regarding what we know about the new classes and story. Although, I will say that I think it's neat that one of the new classes is called "Rune Fencer," since I've only seen that class name in a Tactics Ogre game. It doesn't look like they really work in similar ways, though. I wonder if the Japanese name for FFXI's Rune Fencer matches the Japanese name for Tactics Ogre's?
