ok this is something i dont get
i havent played any alpha or never FF online before but by reading i have some questions
as i understand i can primaly choose a class (archer,warrior,lance etc) and be able to lvl up all classes other than my first and have maximum of 10 skills from other classes at lvl 50
and also when i have Archer level 30 and Conjurer level 15 i can take a job Bard which gives me new skills but lets me take only 5 skills from other classes(cross classing)
if till now i am correct i want to ask, after reading here http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV at section Jobs it says "Bard, requires Archer level 30 and Conjurer level 15. Can use Conjurer and Thaumaturge abilities" and also "Dragoon, requires Lancer level 30 and Pugilist level 15. Can use Pugilist and Archer abilities."
i dont get it...so if i am a Dragoon i can use a bow???and if i am a Bard i can use heal and bow?? plz someone help me understand....i wanted to be an archer cause i like long range dps and bard for supporting,but if Dragoon can use a bow to then i want to play him...got confused...

A lot of that information is still a bit incomplete.
But typically your abilities you'll use for anoher Job will just be standard universal abilities that can be applied to just about any weapon within the given guide lines.
Like if you're a Lancer, you can use choice Archer abilities. Those will typically involves damage buffs, accuracy buffs, etc. You will still use a lance.
Like TemperHoof said, some class abilities are exclusive to that class whilst others are allowed to be used by others once learned. The majority of transferable abilities are support and defense oriented, though there are some offensive ones I believe...
Just remember that your equipped weapon defines your class (whilst a soul crystal specialises it into a job once you've unlocked it) so you will never be able to use another class' weapons since doing so would just switch you to that class.
another way to say it is like this
If you play Conj and stop then play Thum you can add spells you learned from Conj to your now Thum and vice versa or
any class abilities like say Ferocity from lancer and add it to Conj (not needed but you can) where if you were to solo and you got Conj to 20 and your now playing say Archer lv1 you can add cure( lv5 i think spell ) from Conj to your abilities on Lancer so you can now self cure.
When i played as Lancer and archer i would stack Ferocity and Raging Strike one is a Archer ability the other a Lancer ability Added more power to attacks . Or pop abilities and WS for more damage also . Think of it like this other then Weaponskills You can take any abilities or spells from any class and add them to your current class.

Others have explained it very well.
Not sure if they specified this detail tho: your weapon = your class. Equipping a bow makes you an archer! Equipping the lance makes you a lancer.

ok thanks a lot for the answers and help
as i see the game has the almost same mechanic as Eden Eternal ,which is amazing!!
looking really forward for it
When will i be able to buy the game May-June?and at what cost? i know subscription is like 11e/month am i right?
i alsomade an application for the beta testing starting February(if i am not wrong again),is there a chance i can play or its only for old players?
There will be an Open Beta Phase, Most like around the End of April, but that depends on how the first few Beta go.
For Non-Legacy Members, there are two subcription Models.
1 Character per server = $12.99/month
8 Character per server = $14.99/month
Originally, there was a yearly and 3 month subscription discount that dropped the price down to around $9.99 or something. That has not been announced for ARR as far as I know.

since SE like to take weekends off, im expecting the emails to come out next week at the earliest. I dont get why they pretty much shut down for weekends (updates and support) but im used to it, played FFXI for way too long i guess.
