Let's talk about PvP

However, irl... well... i n real lives... i could stab you or he or she anywhere, if it struck me as a good idea... i think that kind of gameplay should be encouraged... as long as systems are in place to fight crime...so to speak.

PvP will, hopefully, help to prevent the game from being: "I'm bored, guess i'll go AFK in town"

This is what FF11 can easily seem like and i would hate for FF14 to be so boring that there isn't hardly anything to do but sit around. Some of the more casual stuff they're adding is helping to prevent mass "lobby standing". They should add PvP & many other mini-games. FF11 is stand & wait most the time (even in abyssea).

SE, please actually support PvP more in this game. Ballista had so much potential yet the incentives and motivation were non-existent.

Closed PvP is what it will be. I'm not certain why there is a discussion on this. In a game such as this closed pvp is really the only option. It doesn't directly affect pve and it gives you something to do while you wait for more content lol.

Many players, many tastes..
don't force everyone into PvP.. like open world PvP.

Those players who want to PvP, they can go to the Colosseum and have fun.
(I didn't play XI, so I don't know what was it like)

I think its going to be fun. PvPvE would be epic. Will it happened? I hope so!

I don't see the pvp taking any major part in ranking up in FFXIV. I can't imagine it happening as anything more than friendly competition brenner style. The lore of the game doesn't lend itself to PvP in open world in any way. Except, of course, they could possibly add a duel function.

I imagine hack that force you accepting the duel.....

no thx^^

In GW pvp completley kill pve with a few people that continue doing pve..

[AtlasThomas]

I choose "A" I need PVP! It will prevent me from running around in town... and in the future it will prevent me from jumping and running through town.

I'm only hoping a Closed Area PvP like Coliseum that doesn't affect PvE the slightest bit. Why can't people just enjoy their thing. It's not like all FF players are PvE Lovers only, there are PvP lovers too, and If that bothers the other they can just add what I said/posted previously. Also, PvP could be fun(If worked correctly) and it could be a way to test each other and have fun with friends.

EDIT:I kinda liked what madisonlee said, like spell effectiveness difference between PvP and PvE. Maybe SE can even make different [mode/job] for PvP, so that when you enter an Area for preparing, you'd switch job to it's PvP mode. This will allow SE to just enhance/lower a skill/spell's effectiveness, traits, etc(of PvP Modes Onry). I believe this "will not influence PvE at all".

No. FFXIV combat completly do not fit for PvP.
