Quit, may come back for PvP

[Miiu]

While I don't find the pvp in this game bad. (Not a huge pvp fan in mmos in general)
I think you will be disappointed coming from GW2 a game built from the start with PVP in mind and which had quite some time to make changes/fixes/adjustments.

The PvP is a lot of fun, but to be honest with you. FF isn't known for it's PvP it'll always be a PvE game. Personally me and many others enjoy the PvP. Once you get ranked up get some pvp gear, new abilities it's a blast. Personally I can see it getting boring after awhile as right now it's only Arena, but hell I got bored of GW2 pvp in a week as well so.

It's fun, but it's not perfect. It's early days, a lot of things need balancing and improved. However, it is fun to run in for a quick match, and when I say quick, I mean quick. Most matches are over in minutes.

Final Fantasy is all about the Fantasy and PvE. Guild Wars is about warring guilds and PvP. So I'd stick to GW if you're looking for great PvP. FF isn't there (yet?).

I'll make my exit now

PVP here is more of just a minigame. not a major focus for gameplay. if yoru a hardcore pvp player then this isnt for you.

I love how many people like to say "this is what final fantasy is about" when most FFs center around some kind of major international conflict, often a world war.

/facepalm

Just because the online games draw on single-player titles doesn't mean the game is 'about PvE'. XI may have been a total fail in PvP, but that was a shortcoming of the development, not the world's potential.

Worst pvp ever in an mmo. Worst than FFXI.

Hah. That's not even possible. This is massively better than FFXI's balista implementation. Balista was hard to get into, hard to find people for, and was completely unbalanced. FFXIV's is easy to get into, easy to find people, and surprisingly balanced outside of a few outliers. On absolutely no grounds is FFXI's possibly better.

Long wait for match to start, no respawn, CC fest, animations not able to finish while chasing, etc. Terrible I say, terrible.

No game can please veryone, I dont like current WoW PvP: too many instant CCs, Casters running around spaming without casting at all, different schools of cc and stunlock you to death, lame class/spec balance, etc etc.

Haters are haters, but no one force you to play FF14 PvP tho.
