Here is everything that is known about the new casual PVP mode in Endwalker:

The new mode will be Small Scale
"it will be much smaller than Frontline, while being at least the same, or slightly larger scale than the Feast"
Yoshi-P mentioned Rule changes meaning it will not be the same as current Feast Rules
Map Change was also mentioned
An element of occupying your opponents base was mentioned as a mechanic
They will be moving away from the aspect of just Killing enemies or "Taking down enemies"
They said there would be a Rating/Ranking for the new mode however "Those who only want to raise thier PVP rank fight thier way to get rewards, and either side will be able to match up and play" this implies ranked and casual play will be somewhat combined
"As for the rewards, the content will offer not only equipment, but also rewards that will entice the players and fulfill their needs"
The Reward System will be new with the intention of increasing the number of competitors joining
Adjustments will be separate with the small scale PVP content (skill updates etc)
Undecided if Feast will remain "the possibility of closing The Feast temporally is high."
"Currently healers are in the state where they have the biggest responsibility.." "..So our plan right now is to have all participants have self healing, and battle by utilising the speciality and characteristics of each job."

" Yoshi-P mentions they are developing it with reference to Apex, Fortnite, and Splatoon"

I'm hoping that we'll actually be able to make full use of the chat function...

Not going to happen since people is lacking ability to control what they type.

Instead they channel it in other ways, such as passive aggressive emote spam. :`)

Good Job! Good Job! Good Job! Good Job! Good Job!

Thank you for this!

>Our Plan is to give every Job self-healing abilities utilizing the characterstics of each Job.

This better not be Combat Potions mk2, this atrocity deserves to be sunk into the ocean, never to be uncovered again.

I hope this will also mean that all the Jobs get balanced in a way, where you can have proper 1vs1 matches with every possible matchup between Jobs without fights being onesided (looking straight at you, DRG "mains") or incredibly stale (anyone vs healer). Teamfights would be alot more fun that way.

Player A has marked Player B as "Target to ignore 1"

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Lol, there is always going to be some level of toxicity in video games, especially ones where you have to work together against other players. I feel like in general, the ffxiv playerbase is incredibly thin-skinned. Someone said some mean words to you in a video game? Hide chat. Taking away chat from everybody is extreme and I've never heard of any other game doing that. It's bs this happened to the pvp community. People get upset, name-call, and argue during savage raids. Should they remove chat for that too? No, because communication is necessary in savage. It's just as necessary in pvp. The macros aren't always enough. We aren't just being punished for the small percent being toxic- we are also being punished for the small percent who cannot control their emotional reactions.

I can't imagine a lower priority when the focus is and always should be team-based gameplay.

I'll take anything at this point. As much as I crap all over pvp (and yes it does deserve it) I want to like pvp in FF14. But that requires SE puts forth a modicum of effort into it. Only 6.0 will tell.
