Aion announces character classes

Earlier this month Aion senior designer Kyoung Won Choi laid out the big picture elements of the game, giving us a general sense of what to expect from this uniquely beautiful title. Now the fan site Aion Source is carrying a press release detailing the entire list of character classes we'll be able to choose from at launch. They also describe the 'advanced class system', through which they plan to allow players to customize their play experience:

No two journeys through Atreia will ever be the same. At the beginning of every adventure, players are given the choice of four distinct character classes; Warrior, Scout, Mage or Priest. Each class offers its own strengths and abilities, weapons or a spells, and a unique set of skills for use in combat, whether to deal damage to enemies or heal and protect allies. As the player gains experience and masters their chosen class, they are given the option to advance to a higher level class. These advanced classes present even greater possibilities, and ensure that the path players take is truly their own.
