From what I've read from interviews and different forums, it sounds like they're going to be removing the EXP system entirely. Crazy idea in an MMO, but I've also read a few hints and such about the importance of weapons in the new game. They may be using the same kind of system as Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, where you learned new techniques from using a certain weapon for a certain amount of time. It's not a terrible system, but I'm sure that if that's the case, certain weapons will be very pricey on AHs.
