code:

-getting rid of secondary lv15 class reqs for jobs (ie for pld you no longer need to get conj to 15 after glad to 30)
-lots of abilities switched to role actions (ie provoke is now a tank role action, protect a healer role, internal release a dps role, etc)
-some new role actions include giving 20% mp to another party member, pulling a party member to your position, ignoreing positional requirements for 15sec
-cleric stance is now a dps buff, not a stance toggle
-healer damage based on mnd now
-all jobs get a new hud gauge that shows job specific stuff (monks shows GL/stance/chakra, blm shows astral/umbral stacks, etc)
-job guages evolve as you level the job (it gets more parts as you get more skills)
-removal of unused/underused actions 
-automatic replacement of upgraded spells (stone1 -> stone2 -> stone3 -> stone4). one action bar slot to cast them all. will change appropratly when levelsynced
-parry stat is gone. replaced with tenacity stat. raises damage delt, reduces damage recieved. no longer have to take attack from front
-accuracy stat is gone. chance to hit is based on your level vs enemy. if player and enemy are at the same level and you hit head on, 100% hit rate. side back attacks might have higher hit rate. raid monsters levels arent much higher
-accuracy replaced with "direct hit" attribute, only on dps job equipement. they govern direct hits, which happen more often then crits but do less bonus damage. an attack may do both at once
