Not much info on Ragnarok, but there's a list circulating of some of the classes to be found:

UPDATE: The Ragnorak Famitsu scans are now online:




Sword Warrior : Uses dual swords and is strong at physical attacks.
Assassin : Uses high speed attacks with its dual daggers.
Hunter : Uses bows and arrows for long range attacks.
Mage : Has both physical attacks through its staff and magic attacks. Weak with defense, but its magic can attack over a range.
Hammer Smith : An attacker who's good with close attacks through his massive drill hammer. He's slow, but an order of magnitude more powerful than other characters.
Cleric : Heals allies with healing magic. Uses a mace and shield for combat, and is also adept at countering.
