Open World PvP

[Wind-Krysvein]

It's a FF game after all and FF fans are more into RP than any kind of challenge.

What even is this last part? You totally had me up until this point, but then you had to let the mad dog loose

It’s kind of funny to me too because everyone uses it’s an ff game excuse,when Yoshi P himself has stated he wants this game to have multiple elements of other mmo’s. He wants to have something for everyone and he doesn’t want someone to have to go to another game because of something this game doesn’t have.

Oh please no. No open world PvP. One of the worst things about WoW was open world PvP. Some of you think you want this, but you absolutely do not. It would be a waste of dev resources, against the lore, and breed toxicity.

That's ironic. Since this is apparently not a PvP game, so "people should go elsewhere for PvP". Funny thing is, when players want high end PvE content this "isn't the game for them" either. I think only casual content requests are allowed here.

I don't know if there are really PvP servers now, but my WoW characters were on Illidan, and I had literally no issues.

I don't know why people keep saying it'd be opt in when OP makes it clear they want to track down people they don't like and slaughter them. How'd that work out with opt in?

The only reason I'd want this is if it means I can kill all those annoying bots I see out and about 24/7.

That was one of the blessings of being on a open PvP server in WoW.

This thread is still going? Yeesh.

Here's a thought. Perhaps Square Enix doesn't want the association of the "Warrior of Light" with a gang of what we who also play Dungeons and Dragons refer to as "Murder Hobos"?

There must be a reason this game is more popular than the PvP-centric MMORPGs.

no open world pvp is not in the best interests of the game or the players

Seriously No.

Nothing is more profoundly annoying then trying to complete a quest when theres a horde of neckbeards at max level waiting to gank your low level butt because they're bored and ruining other peoples fun is thier way of expressing "fun".

You want that go to wow click on warmode and stay in that game pretending you're playing ff xiv..

Frontline?

What exactly are people looking out for with World PvP that you cannot just get from Frontline? Ability to mass gank lonely people stranglethorn-style?

I don't think it's true that most Final Fantasy fans just want 'RP'. For starters, not everybody even engages in role-play in the first place. Furthermore, pretty much every mainline Final Fantasy game has done something different so it's difficult to say that Final Fantasy games are about X, Y or Z when there's so much variety in what each title brings to the table.

I've engaged in RP in this game and others, but then I've also pushed to engage with content across the board because ultimately it's a game and games are to be played. It's an MMO first and foremost. Which, by their very nature, attract a broad variety of players with many different wants and desires.
