PVP - What's it like?

[Chaelyn]

Queues just recently decreased in wait times dramatically, I haven't waited longer than 2 minutes for pops.

For FFXIV PvP there are 2 kinds: Arena style 4v4 (soloq and party) and Large scale PvP (8v8v8 or 24v24v24).

If you are just starting out I recommend trying out Frontlines which is large scale PvP and the games currently popping are 24v24v24 so your individual impact won't hurt your team heavily if you are scared of performing poorly.

Compared to other mmos, there are pvp specific abilities for each job so I would look at your spellbook and go to the PvP tab and read those abilities before you start.

Thanks for this!

Very helpful.

Do you think I will get a similar buzz in the arena to the arena in WoW? (if you played this)
