PVP - Ideas & Expectations!!

[Sweetheart]

I'm big fan of FF however I'm also big fan of PVP, while we might not get PVP system soon, lets give Dev Team something to think about, and maybe even consider to implement in future My Idea and vision for PVP in FFXIV would be more about fair and square Tournaments rather than random killing.

1) I'm sure many remember Final Fantasy 7 - Battle Arena it was cool right

2) Another thing I would like to see being implemented is Team PVP, I realize that Battlegrounds like in WoW will not work well, however minigames like in Aoc might actually work good in FFXIV.

3) Open World PVP, and I don't mean pk, ganking etc, I mean possibility of having duels everywere we go in game, I'm sure it would bring a lot of fun, and players would find cool places to do their own private tournaments, fights etc.

4) The only thing left 4 me is some kind of Reward PVP Points System, for which we could probobly buy PVP gear etc, but that I guess I would leave to Dev Team

If PvP is gonna be about as important to the game as it was in XI, I'm all for it to be implemented^^
I would be fine with any type of implementation(though I'd prefer tournament/arena like PvP)

If it's gonna be as important to the game as PvP in WoW, I don't wanna see PvP in this game EVER! As soon as PvP is affecting class balance I hate it and I don't want it to be there. Class balance should be solely balanced around PvE!

I hope SE bring something like War of Emperium in Ragnarok Online

Pvp a lot of time bring only lamer player...

If implemented I hope is limited to event or other and not like PK style

My personal favourite idea, assuming they add 'instanced' PvP in the style of most other MMOs would be one that you always fight the Garlean Empire. Anyone who has played Americas Army will know what I mean - in that you always played as the US against OpFor, but both sides saw themselves as the US.

I think such a system would work well here, with you and other Eorzean adventurers taking on Garlean Empire troops - their names being their class, such as Garlean Empire Lancer and their armour being standardised Garlean stuff. Gets around why we would fight each other anyway!

I like PvP a lot, you could say. Especially since I played Aion. I liked how we could "Spar" with other player of the same race, it was like a way to test each other, exciting and tactical. Each Job has it's role and in it is truly fun to fight in a Group PvP. Tournament and Coliseum could do very good as well, like in Tales of Series. Players who do not want or just lost a fight can go take a seat, and relax while watching the winner fights the next challenger. Survival of the Fittest System would be cool. Here's some type of PvP I thought of: Time Limit, Death Match, Group PvP (All out), Group PvP (Somehow like Dissidia 012's Party Fight), Solo PvP.

SE already stated in many interviews that, they are looking more in to some ''sport" type of PVP, so I'm sure we won't be forced to PVP.

I don't want to be forced to pvp. But I am for pvp in any form, when you have taste for it.

Since the nations aren't at war with each other pvp doesn't really make sense outside of some mini-game style tournament. It doesn't really serve a purpose imho and I wouldn't be sad if it was never implemented.
