pvp is a good addition to the game, but it should not be a focus to the game. PvE is vastly more important for this game, it sorta depresses me that media was not focused on PvE more. Final Fantasy is all about team work and coming together to save the world more or less not fighting one another.

There are many PvP focused games out there, and many of those games FFXIV:ARR stands 0 chance of competing against simply due to the battle system design. Action mmos are much better for pvp then the old school system which XIV adopted (Which is a good thing in my opinion).
