Do people HONESTLY want end game large scale pvp....

[Forerunner]

Some little area or instance does not really sound like the large scale PvP they are talking about, so again I'm asking:
Why do you even think there would be large scale PvP?
Maybe some small PvP in some arena someday, sure, but large scale?
Although I actually like the idea of an arena to compete in
Because it means there's no stupid PvP in my everyday gameplay, but when I feel like it, I can go into the arena (which could have "tournaments" in different classes, like "easy" for 1-10, "not all that easy" for 10-20 and so on x)

This was what I was saying. IF IT IS RELEASED. The words you bolded.
I wasn't saying z0mg the devs have confirmed large scale PvP, in fact, I mentioned a small area/instance, would/could be possible.

But I forgive you. Nothing to bite heads off about.

[Xeak]

Oh, I get it now.
I found the text this thread was based on, someone google translated something Yoshi-P said:


This was actually a wrong translation by Google, Yoshi-P was talking about end game large scale PvE.
And a little bit of normal PvP. Nothing large scale though.
(Although I don't know why Google turns PvE into PvP..)

It's possible Google changed it into PvP because of a spelling error, right? PvP is a common term, at least much more common than PvE is in my opinion, so maybe that's what the system was thinking ... who knows, though. Translating programs are weird ...

I probably wont participate too much in it if they had it but if they did I'm sure their will be players playing large-scale PvP

But imo this shouldn't be their priority should be lower to the list of things they need to fix, content to add.
Do it MAG FFXIV version... Gridania VS Limsa, you got different parties (squads) with squad leaders communicating with other leaders getting information from commander on current status of war.

Do it so you can take over like a fortress or something, and at times have the beastmen or the empire? (dunno English name for Teikoku 帝国) come in to try and take over making it PvE against whatever country owning vs Beastmen or Empire.

[Rydin]

the PvE will be large scale, the PvP will be small scale (one on one) and controlled a la battle arena

[Atoli]

I probably wont participate too much in it if they had it but if they did I'm sure their will be players playing large-scale PvP

And thus the myth of the large scale PvP was born..

Okay, seriously, since I can't see any official translation I'll just try translating Yoshi-P's post myself:
(just tell me if there already is one)


"Hello there, this is Yoshida speaking.
We are often asked what the new content for groups will be, since the guild leves are now mainly content for solo players.
This is what we are planning for the future of FF XIV (please notice that these are only examples and that other features will also be added and extended):

Content for casuals who want to play in groups:
- behest which we want to change into a conquest battle with the goal of reaching a specific point
- public dungeons
- instanced dungeons
- various defense-based battles

Content for groups (I guess he means non-casual?)
- NM hunts
- the capture of fortifications of the wild tribes
- raid dungeon battles

End game content (so no, Reinhart, it does not seem to be their top priority for now)
- Beside some PvP, we plan to integrate some large scale PvE, but because we can't reveal much yet, just know it will be coming one day.
- We also plan to add more solo content which can be enjoyed permanently. We plan to have a balanced mix of miniquests and guild leves.

I'm very sorry we have to take care of so many repairs to the game's core (systems) first, and there's so little content, but we want you to know we have a solid plan and we hope you are looking forward to what the future brings."

Meh if all this Large-Scale PvP thing came from the interview, the one I translated shows PvE so can't be me LOL
I just went along with what the OP said about large-scale PvP and not PvE; thus my response.

My translation on 4gamer interview talking about large-scale PvE http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post199765

It's not a bad talk having large-scale PvP though, doubt the servers can handle it, most likely have to be PvE like Dynamis if at most imo; right now the game is still under development stage (again) so having this kind of talk might spark some ideas into the devs mind for future contents at least that's how I see it.

The 4gamers interview is from the 25th of june and back then they said they can't say anything about or even if there will be some large scale PvE in FFXIV.
The text I translated isn't taken from that interview but Yoshi-P's answer to the player's questions some community rep forwarded to him.
It's a reply from today, so..we know now there certainly will be large scale PvE, but it's waaaay in the future

Btw, I'll stick to my opinion: I wouldn't like to have large scale PvP.
I'm fine with them wanting to implement SOME kind of PvP though. Later.

[Xeak]

Hm, after reading that translation I feel like I have read it somewhere before, but not sure. And my opinion remains that PvP should be optional and in no way forced upon players. Also, I liked Reinheart's idea of having nations versus each other in friendly competition. I know it's been said before, but a PvP sport (like Ballista) would be awesome.
