Open World PvP

[Eldevern]

That is simply not true. The game does not advertise itself in regards to PvP being only side content.

You're kiding, right?

Since the beta interviews from Yoshida show PVP is not planned to be the main focus of the game. He said he understand some player like PVP BUT he also explained "hardcore" PVP is a niche content that is not in his focus. (He would not talk about "casual" PVP otherwise in one of his last interviews).

Everything in the Lodestone about PVP explains it is in arenas. The Fest is clearly focused on arena challenge. Nowhere, never, anything could let imagine the game could be Open World PVP oriented.

He know how PVP in Open World ends. He has explained why he was not plans to go in this direction.

Whatch the Lodestone : PVP is ARENAS. Not more, Not less.

The main focus is clearly understandable as PVE story mode oriented. Since the beginning. If COIL was fairly integrated to the story, the Frontline has kind of a weird excuse to justify PVP.
