New Battle arena " Try me if you dare ! "

[Zigou]

So now than we have almost all, gear wise,WS, and JAS.

Lots of monsters, but still what we all need to add it is FUN, fun between us, fun playing FF, and so why not bring competion between us as a new Pankration Reborn.

I always dreamed of a place where we could enjoy, a Pvp, or a P v Npc.

A place like an open Arena, where we could go in, after a booking.
Define some rules if wanted, or go full attack, many option can be created.

Yes but you will tell me we already got ballista....

Ballista is most played as Pvp FUN , but not that much as Petra orianted kind of game.
which shows than most of us somewhere are looking sometimes for a pvp fun.

The pankration aera place could be transform for a larger battle scene, where we could also watch the match, and support fellows fighters.

The pankration cloud be also twist for a NPC v P, solo or team works.

( all nm could be listed, and this could be also a kind of training battle ground for peoples )

Npc could be HNM. NM, or even Glorious NPCs, well this is open lots of possibility.

Pankration is dead anyway, but a bit of twist could bring a new thing in, and with a bit of rewards behind fights, or even just the FUN to /sit and watch.

Another thing i was thinking was, a kind of ( Dungeon keeper attitude ), where we could jump in NM skin and play the NM against Fellows.

twisting role could be much fun, and either NPC v NPC , could even bring more fun.

Just tossing ideas here, to say please SE, bring us what we missing more and more, what we had at the beginning of ff life.

Fun ! ;)

yea a simple arena where you can fight a friend with no silly side games just PvP.

Also chose from a list of Npcs unlocked by defeating the previous npc. Give the players a chance to fight the likes of shanto, Prishe, Selh'teus, the Ark Angels (1 at a time), Naja, Excenmille and Lilisette ect.

The npcs we see in all the story lines but never get to fight, or enemies we defeated in the stories and qeusts we would like to take another shot at.

You would find alot of players interested in normal PvP and fighting the FFXI npc legends regardless of rewards just for the fun of a chalenging fight

I love the ideas Zigou has put forward, I would love to take on some NPC legends my self some thing you could do round town while waiting for events ussing random team ups from people enterered, solo, pre organised teams or just watch people go toe to toe with Naja ( ive wanted to put Naja in her place for a long time lol)

Yes please

If they opened the colosseum in wg, I would be far more interested in PvE over PvP. I think it would be fun to go in with say a maximum of 3 people, and be placed against wave after wave after wave of monsters to see how long you could endure. My drg needs a good challenge b/c of abyssea procs I'm on blm a lot more than I'd like to be.

This is a really good idea i think, And also offer challenges Via Messages and even put up wagers on matches items or gil =D

Maybe Even do like official events like every few hours or few days have people sign up for 1v1 tourneys and everyone who enters pay like a 1k or 100k or even more depending on the "Class" and make it like winner take all (after SE's cut of course =/ ...) there is alot of potential in this post

Also i really like the idea of using it as a training grounds, no drops, but use it as a ls test of certain mobs, great idea i think... original

Sounds like Battle Arena from FF7, which is still a good idea. Doing battles just for fun and a test of endurance. I agree with this, and maybe have something along the lines of adding temp items each round, and slot machine random status ailments/boosts in different scenarios? idk, but doesn't have to be so complicated.

still see some good ideas, as PvP has alot of possibilities in XI.

Personally I'd like to see this as the the lvl 95 limit break. This would be who you would fight for your limit break:
THF Nana Migho
MNK Prishe
PLD Curila or Trion
SAM Ayame
RNG Semih Lefinah
DNC Lilisette ( or Laila)
BLM Shantotto
PUP Aphmau (No ToAU spoilers here lol)
DRK Zeid

You get the idea....

[darkvision]

i personally would like to kick Naja's ass and shove that mace, wait lets nto go there :P, i found her to be VERY annoying in the Aht Arhgan missions

but as for lvl95 limit break seems like a Maat+1 fight and all for it but please for the love of god, no farming testimonies

[Zigou]

thx for positive comments, yes so many possiblity to add fun, or trainings to or beloved jobs.

Diversity and after ALL FANTASY .............. <3

[Masamunai]

Rate Up Zigou, excellent ideas there, me <3.

Especially ideas to play a NM/HNM against friends lol; or training as a team with friends against a known NM/HNM :D

A friend in game gave also another idea:

How about a campaign-like system where a team protects a tower, while other team tries to destroy it ?
In other terms, replace Orcs/Yagus/Qadavs with players XD

[Cursed]

all great ideas.
I had the thought about playing as an NM vs other players a long time ago. Would be cool to be in Fafnir or Nidhogg and just decide to spike flail the party repeatedly.
*thought of this many years ago when rival LS's would claim Nidhogg, and Nidhogg wouldn't do enough hurricane wings- I'm sure someone can relate*

We do need some player vs player entertainment. The level of skill needed to defeat another experienced player is way above anything SE can throw at us, and its far more exciting.
Everyone loves bragging rights.
I know a few people on these forums who are anti-PVP but not one of them would pass up a chance to say "I floored Jinz"
XD

A few days ago me and some ls people were talking about something similar to the concept here. We, like many people now days, were reminiscing the good times we had doing nyzul and other older events. One person then brought up a decent idea which is a little bit similar to some posted here.

We both agreed that the random factor in nyzul kept it fun. We also both agree that rewarding progression is great, like how Einherjar does with ichor. We both also remembered something in the long term plans SE had called the "Dungeon Crawl". We know SE has their own idea for what that is going to be like but my ls mate had the idea that the Dungeon Crawl was going to be Nyzul version 2. Unlike normal nyzul, this version would be just floors of mobs an alliance of players can battle in waves. Mobs would scale with the amount of people that enter (like the quest: Uninvited Guests), and type of mob that spawns. At the end of the 30 (60?) mins everyone gets tokens/credits/points/etc based on the amount of waves and/or mobs that were defeated. For every 4 waves of enemies a random HNM would spawn for the 5th wave and so forth. The main thing would be that everyone got tokens/credits/points/etc that could be spent on some plethora of goods ranging from new gear/items to old items like King Abj., HQ dynamis currency, linen coin purses of alex, high status/staple items like Kclub, Dring, Blackbelt, etc (item list sort of like bonanza maybe?).

I personally thought it was a good idea if it was done right. Promotes team work (which seems to be lacking now days) by giving more tokens/credits/points/etc for more mobs killed and further you get in waves. People get the feeling of working towards a goal, so each run is an accomplishment to an extent. Anyways, thought I'd share the idea to see how you all think about it :)
