New Blog post "Interview with Director/Producer"

I'm starting to wonder if the people who are say "PvP isn't important" hang out with any other MMO players besides FFMMO players... >.>

I've gotten to meet some great MMO players who lead large groups in GW2, and other games. PvP is a HUGE deal for them. They've never played FFXI or FFXIV, but they've all (well both... I only know two of them IRL) told me "No PvP, No deal" when I invited them to beta.

I hope when I e-mail them the news about FFXIV PvP when its released they'll at least LOOK at it?! \o.O/

This.. Without offenses but the major player base in this forum just played XI-XIV , and doesn't know the importance (commercial speaking) of PvP in nowadays MMO...

players who think "this game can't live without pvp" aren't needed here


Edited: i welcome pvp but not to the point where pve suffers tremendously because of gear or abilities being nerfed for being "op"

it should be like how pvp was added in XI

"this game can't live without pvp" players should stay the hell away

And FFXIV will forever be stained by the world and media, not what SE have in mind if going by that mind set of yours.

FFXIV will always be stained because of 1.0, not because of this "mindset", it won't recover what has been lost, it can only improve the image a bit but going far as ruining what made FFXI last so long (PVE) won't be as good as the profits being "standard (PVP/PVE)" will bring


i don't really care either way, i'll play ffxiv as i always did, i liked ffxiv before in 1.0 and i will like 2.0 just as much but people who push for changes just because of the stupid belief of "this game can't live without so&so" should really stay away

Yeah... well, judging by the blog post hopefully the American non-FF audience got their point across.

Don't get me wrong, I love PvE and it's my favorite thing to do in a game. Having great PvE battles is essential. But I also play PvP a lot... It's a great form of content and I can see why some people like it and even devote themselves to it. The numbers of people who enjoy PvP more than PvE are pretty large and there is no reason to ignore this audience. Just none.

I would love to play PvP with my PvP loving friends IRL.
