(Copied from my "If You Could Create a Side Quest" thread (thanks a lot, mods))

Quest Name: "Welcome to the Colosseum"

Quest Level: 30

NPC: Colosseum Enthusiast

Quest Summary: The introduction of the 1 vs. 1 PvP that the Warriors of Light have always dreamed of. Different modes electable.

NPC Dialogue: "Step right up and bear witness to the greatest show in Ul'dah! This is the Colosseum's grand opening. You can pay to watch, or, if you feel lucky, you may sign up and test your skill against like-minded adventurers in one-against-one combat!"

Quest Objective(s): Sign up for 1 vs. 1 duels. Item levels will be synced, and PvP abilities apply. Duels take place in the Ul'dah Colosseum, and they may be viewed by the public.

Modes:

Single Match: Fight until one contestant is knocked out. 1 Round/3 Rounds/5 Rounds

Favoritism: HP Bars are replaced by Favoritism: a resource which starts at 0 and fills up to 1000 as the fight goes on. To gain Favoritism, you must win the favor of the crowd by performing skills/magic to attack your enemy, or bolster yourself. To gain additional Favoritism, you may collect power-ups that spawn around the Colosseum. Some power-ups may reduce your opponent's Favoritism score, while others may increase yours. Power-ups can have additional effects, such as boosted stats, healing, increased attack speed, or bizarre transformations.

-----------------------------

To build on my earlier post a few pages back, 1 vs 1 duels in the Colosseum could be more for show than contest. There'd still be a winner or loser, but it wouldn't be about skill or equipment. Instead, it'd simply be about fun (Favoritism in place of HP Bars). Sort of like Triple Triad.
