The interviewer just needs the skillz to fish the info out of him. It may interest you to know that a lot of questions were about PvP—quite representative of our North American players' tastes.

FFXI and other FF players don't care about PvP

Most everyone who plays other games do want it. The lack of PvP is one reason why FFXIV received poor reviews on the gaming sites at released. The lack of PvP is one reason why some players won't even bother picking up the title.

If they have a good PvP content that will be a draw for the game. People will pick it up just to try the PvP if the game sites talk well about it, they can only gain.

[Zezlar]

Can honestly say I don't care about PvP. I don't mind the implementation for others, but i'm going to be extremely disappointed if PvE takes a hit due to processing PvP content/re-balancing.

I was wondering about that. "1280x720 MAXIMUM"... I really hope that does not mean 1280x720 is the maximum resolution for ARR.

A 1280x720 maximum would likely be fore the PS3. PC should be able to go as high as the system can support.

[DoomCky]

Side note the whole 1280X720 maximum might mean the max rez on the computer. Or like V1 bench mark had 2 settings high 1080p and low 720p.so could mean they just for that pic have it set on low to get high score to just show off big numbers

[Pseudopsia]

MAXIMUM may be referring to maximum graphics settings.

If this benchmark was done right it should have different levels of quality settings, such as Minimum, Standard, and Maximum graphic settings.

I'm starting to wonder if the people who are say "PvP isn't important" hang out with any other MMO players besides FFMMO players... >.>

I've gotten to meet some great MMO players who lead large groups in GW2, and other games. PvP is a HUGE deal for them. They've never played FFXI or FFXIV, but they've all (well both... I only know two of them IRL) told me "No PvP, No deal" when I invited them to beta.

I hope when I e-mail them the news about FFXIV PvP when its released they'll at least LOOK at it?! \o.O/

As long as PVP does not mess with the PVE world i'm fine. I enjoy a random PVP here and there but i dislike it being the main focus.
