Will this game ever get open world pvp?

[Stanelis]

Yoshida stated a long time ago that a game which allowed a player to be attacked at any moment was a flawed game.

[PapaIggy]

Just no. Oh apparently my message has to be longer. No no no no no no no no no no no no no and no

[Devourn]

Oh God, I hope not. This smells of WoW crowd. ;p

[Divinemights]

No worry, this type of topic will show up periodically every time there is a new expansion.
Usually brought up by WoW refuges who knows nothing much about the game
There will be no World PvP under SE's game, don't worry

wow much WoW hate, smh

these topics already existed before WoW lost some people

with how ff14 they treated PvP in the past, it is very unlikely to happen anyway, or even if you like PvP you don't want them to spend resources for that when there is more basic things to fix first

While I do have some fond memories from world where... vengeance is always an option, cough cough, was the open world murdering that fun ever?

Not really. That was never fun thing that happened.

Isn't there other games for people wanting to play murderers & murder victims??

I had bad experiences from a certain MMO (Not WoW) that I wouldn't wish such a thing to exist for FFXIV, and it also promotes really bad behavior.

More specifically than just the echoes of "no", what's the justification for open world PvP? In WoW it's Horde vs. Alliance, which are at war. For SWTOR it would be Sith Empire vs. Republic. Had City of Heroes/Villains done open world instead of having separate zones for heroes and villains, it would have been, well, Superheroes vs. Supervillains. There's no good story justification for player characters - who are all adventurers in Eorzean city-states which are not at war and at the beginning were all struggling in a war against an invading Garlean Empire - to try and gank each other while gathering. Even the Grand Company factions for PvP are essentially performing war games, aka structured drills to keep the military sharp.

Short answer: no.
longer answer: Absolutely not, no.
