Read it for more details.
It seems they are changing up the story a bit by giving the four characters distinct personalities. Also, tweaks to the various jobs (classes) you can choose from. The graphical makeover will apparently be pseudo 3D. Not sure what that means, but I think it may be similar to how in Four Swords Adventures the entire game was rendered on various 3D "sheets" to allow for scaling and rippling and other sorts of effects.
As I had hoped, they actually plan on desiging the game so it can be played entirely with the touch screen. I suppose PC style drag and drop equiping as well as targetting enemies just by pointing to them, yay! Japan catches up!
And it would seem there is some wireless feature. No details on that except it is supposed to be a treat for fans who want to play the game together. The minimum will probably be something like in some of the FF games where, during battles, different players had control of different characters (but out of battle, "player one" is always in control). I'm hoping for something more. Maybe an extra side-story where players control a team of characters journeying through a dungeon together? This is being headed up by a designer from FFXI, so hey it's a possibility.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
