Sound like PVPs will be pretty big in ARR <3 !!

[Preypacer]

ok whats the hottest type of pvp's out in the market at the moment? since SE need world class in all department to even thinking about bringing ARR out of SE door.

No they don't. They don't even need PvP at all for it to "make it out the door" and be successful. Let's not get carried away with the hyperbole.

PvP is clearly important/critical for your enjoyment of a game. It is most certainly not very important - if at all - for everyone.

Yoshi-P has already explained that such an all-out PvP system would be out of place in XIV because the setting, story and intended gameplay is based around cooperation and teamwork against a common foe, not "every player against each other".

For national pride/competition, the systems they're implementing will suit it just fine.

Oh boy! Can't wait for all our PvE abilities to be nerfed changed to cater to the PvP audience!

PVP would have it own spells so everything that get nerfed only the pvp people would bitch. People like myself who only do pvp casaul for funs once in a while don't have to worry about my PVE spells be nerfed to shit to fix pvp. That one good thing yoshi-p is doing so noting to worry about.

I would hope they have the ability to alter skills once you enter a PVP instance, so then outside of PVP they are normal, and inside PVP they are altered to be balanced. It would be perfect.

They have new spells only for PVP i said that a few times so it's wont be same spell alter they be new spell for PVP. Sure i bet some spell would look the same and do the same thing but it still a new spell.

That on the other hand though could be a dual edged sword.

Unless the PVE spell team and the PVP spell teams are totally different, it would take time away from PVE if they are spending all of their time trying to balance a whole different PVP spell set.

The PVP skills need to be separated. Look at how GW1 and GW2 handle PVP for an example.

Also if they do add PVP it needs to be a work in progress and constantly updated, otherwise it'll be unbalanced. If they don't update PVP skills at least monthly, I have no faith in PVP.

ya pvp kills would be separated i just don't think pvp would be much of a big deal in FFXIV. If we get a lot of PVP players then ya it would be big for sometime but it may just end up lacking at the end for PVE stuff.

FFXIV is more about story/PVE like ffxi but i don't see why pvp can't be good too as long as there lot of people doing it if there not then it just waste of people to keep updating it.

Well I'd imagine there'll be two type of PVP modes. The huge server vs server, and the more balanced 5v5 (6v6, 7v7, 8v8?) mode.

Server vs Server doesn't really need to be balanced, past how the PVE skills are I mean.

Can't wait for PVP I hope the areas we can pvp in have like castles and stuff! Also I wonder if we can fight people cross server. o.ob
