Sound like PVPs will be pretty big in ARR <3 !!

Just as long as it doesn't interfere with PvE progression and mechanics, they can have at it.

Hi Andrien, been awhile ! :)

On topic - Extremely skeptical on how PVP will work with XIV mechanics but i guess most of thats changing with ARR

Not that I don't like the idea of a PvP system to please the masses. I will take part in it to see what it has to offer but I think we will be busy enough with the storyline and our own priorities that PvP will take a backseat. Here is some speculation: Will we eventually get access to join an opposing faction such as the Imperials? Beastmen?

Food for thought there.

I've wanted to do Coliseum PvP since doing the Gladiator Quests/Story.
There are different Pirate Groups in the Marauder Quests that feud as well.
So it does fit into the story of version 1.

How will it fit into the story of ARR? No idea.

I think it will be a good tool for recruiting good players. Have some fun. Maybe challenge a rival Linkshell or player. Maybe have a Rankings List of the top fighters 20 wins - 3 losses etc.
