Also, PvP; I'm intrigued to say the least. Ballista was (lol) kind of fun, I'm ready to see what kind of PvP they will bring into FFXIV.
They have thrown a few tidbits our way. The pvp they've described so far sounds sort of like WoW's battelgrounds- but the state of these battles grants or denies access to related PvE stuff. Thus if PvP isn't your cup o' tea, you'll still benefit from the people who are participating in it.
