2018 LV Fanfest Q&A Question re: Open World Pvp follow-up!

[Mango24]

it would have to be an instanced zone people would want to go into - like how eureka works. however i don't think there'd be that many people who would do such a thing. it would probably die out very quickly.

With some awesome rewards participation could be really good! Imagine unique pve-relevant gear only obtainable through this zone. Also, I had the same feelings as you regarding making it an eureka-esque zone. However with the new world visiting system maybe they could make a seperate pvp world that people could visit if they wanted to or switch back if they didn't like it!

this gear you speak of would never be relevant because the best would be kept to tomes and raid gear.

Still waiting to hear something more out of se about this.

I just cant see how this will work. In Heavensward with all our skills i would have loved open world pvp. But right now i think it would be pretty boring.

is this cyrodill? i am looking forward to an open world pvp, if they ever plan to make one

Pvp needs to become as relevant as PVe. I used to play a chinese mmorpg called Silkroad online when I was younger, and the PVp in that game was amazingly good. Some people would just do pvp all day, that being said pve was just as important. So I mean like it can be done, but it needs to feel more authentic. I feel like they try to balance the crap out of everything, but I believe that in pvp balance is not necessarily the answer. pvp inherently should favor the stronger/better fighter with more stats and hours. Also I feel like we need open world pvp where you can challenge a fellow adventurer to a duel this is how it was done in Silkroad and often the better player with a better class and stats would end up winning, but the fighting was so engaging. I will have a link to the Silkroad pvp in my post:

Open world PVP could be the answer FFXIV is looking for when it comes to bringing in Battle Royale to the game too. Just have it auto pop off once an hour or 2 per zone but have various zone timers so theres always at least "one" going on somewhere in Eorzea. Similar to fates but a covers the entire zone/map. Then it won't need a Duty Finder either. If someone doesn't want to participate in zone just have a button so they can disengage from it.
