    FFA PVP zone, more minigames.

    FFA or Free For All PVP Zone where it's just for fun. Like even if you wanted to face your friend in some roleplay. There could be two sections, single combat and multi-combat. Meaning in single you won't have to worry about other people interrupting and killing your fun or on the other hand your enemy or you getting help from others.

    I was REALLY hoping you would incorperate gambling into the Gold Saucer but it honestly feels like you played it safe and idk maybe to thwart gil sellers cus it could be another way of trading gil, which is bumming cus it sucks how much gil sellers effect our game sometimes when you think like that.

    I don't even think you need to go as far as closing one server to open world PVP. You could have two versions and isolate these battlegrounds somewhere on the server. Like one could be safe FFA where you don't lose anything except maybe PVP rank and the other dangerous zone where you'd lose tradable items like potions and whatnot and maybe gear but the problem there is spiritbonding so probably not.

    And make em big, don't confide us in small spaces cus Black Mages will wreck us if we're too close in multi-combat and oh god i don't wanna get hit by 10k+ crits and whatnot.


    I don't know SE. I really just wish we had more content that could keep us playing. The Gold Saucer is great and I don't deny TT is pretty good and LoV is a step in the right direction as far as this topic goes but other than that all thats there is.achievements, glamour, minions and mounts.


    I recall one of the interviews Yoshi-P was in and he said depending on the popularity of frontlines, they would then consider the idea of a PVP server. And that sounds great and all and I'm sure SE would love to see the Cash flow from every other dedicated PVP player switching servers but honestly a closed FFA PVP minigame on every server seems a lot easier imo.



    But I can't expect something like this to come anytime soon or fast, just like we can't hope to get more jobs faster than we already are. MMO's take time, and it sucks.

    The devs can't make true gambling games due to laws in certain countries forbidding gambling in video games.

    As for open area PvP, unless they give good rewards, no one will do it. You can claim "for funsies" all you want, but we seen how quickly games like Triple Triad and the chocobo racing games died off due to lack of interest.

    Damn. That really sucks. It would be kool to gamble.

    But as far as PVP, they could toss in wolf marks too or implement whatever they would in a open world PVP server just in a more enclosed space. But you're right rewards do help, but I'm sure there are PVPers out there that would jump into this.

    I'd definately give it a shot. Too dull in PvE now so PvP is a great alternative for veteran players. Gives us something else to get some skills on.

    Thats the other thing, when we get bored in this game from all the grinding and everything else, it gives us something to do instead of MORE grinding.

    Thanks.

    The only minigame I'm concerned about is IF Battle Arena will make it into the Gold Saucer.

    As far as I remember, some countries forbid gambling in video games because they see videogames as a thing kids can play and don't want them to get into gambling, which is why some of the mini games in the Pokemon series were either altered or removed in certain regions.

    Chocobo Racing and TT are very limiting for the enjoyment part. You can't play with others unless you're in a specific area, and I don't think you can play with others in racing outside of the random match making in.

    Open World PvP is an entirely different mess and honestly, FFXIV isn't built for it in mind in nearly every aspect, not just balancing.

    It could be something like brawler's guild in WoW. Its a spectable arena where you watch a player fight against a PvE enemy with unique mechanics. It's hilarious at times to see them wipe. Of course, the whole point of brawler's guild in WoW was bragging rights (because some of these fights can be outright infuriating at times, more so than A3s if it was a 1 on 1). You got small currency rewards, but outside of that, you didn't get anythingexcept achievements and a shirt.

    Open PvP maps are a nice concept they could utilize, maybe with forts (mini sieges) that each GC faction could get that will unlock quests or other things for the winning side. They could even add hero support if a faction is losing all the time, maybe the faction's general can come and help with the battles and other things like that to keep it balanced.

    They should definetely add a Duel Request mode, so you can PvP anywhere with friends etc. They shouldn't be afraid to add PvP in the main game.
