Well, actually, the gameplay won't be focused around pre-built classes at all. These five classes above were simply created to speed up the process of starting the demo/beta. In the final release, apparently we'll be able to allocate the level of each stat during character creation. An archetype class is then generated based on your selection of stats.

However, in saying this, I can't really remember off the top of my head where I read this.
