Dragon's Dogma Classes Revealed, Story Trailer

Not only has Capcom's official Dragon's Dogma website been updated with information about two of the game's nine character classes, but the publisher has also released a new two-and-a-half-minute "story" trailer that serves as an introduction to the game's main campaign. First, the trailer:



And then I'll quote the profiles for the Fighter and Strider classes:
Fighter

Starting Vocation: Equipped with a sword and shield, Fighters offer a good balance of offense and defense and serve on the party's front lines.

Primary Weapon: One handed Sword

Secondary Weapon: Shield

Strengths and Role

Defense: Fighters offer a variety of defensive abilities that allow them to serve as a veritable (tank) for the party, allowing ranged and offensive classes to deal damage from further away.

Offense: Fighters posses a variety of deadly sword skills ranging from dashing attacks that allow fighters to quickly close the gap on an enemy to skills that allow them to skewer enemies safely behind their shields.

Combat Utility: Fighters are able to launch characters into the air to grab flying enemies with their Shield Toss skill, making them invaluable allies when fighting winged enemies.

Skills

Shield Strike: Strikes a foe with the shield, causing little damage but forcing the target to drop their guard.

Flesh Skewer: Thrusts the blade into the target's body, pinning them in place while raining further blows upon them.

Blink Strike: Rushes to the target and visits a powerful blow on them.

Strider

Range: Thanks to their many bow skills, Striders are able to rain down arrows on enemies from long distances and can shoot down airborne enemies with ease.

Acrobatics: The Strider class is able to grapple and climb large enemies longer than any other class, allowing them to freely strike at an enemy's weakest areas.
