PVP

I say no to PvP through and through. It has too much potential to absolutely ruin the balance of an MMO. For reference, see the watering down of all classes in other MMOs that have attempted to reach a PvE and PvP balance.

It is time to say that Final Fantasy XIV needs to be renewed and thus the introduction of a new PvP system, would become the greatest asset of the final fantasy combining the strategy with the tempo of skills and not something as sordid and horrible as ballista, we need some content, but hard to create something easy methodically so that fascinate many people and we want it now.

Id like a dual like system where you could challenge other players in the open world like in Aion. Players wouldn't die, but you would be able to fight each other. Test your skills against one another and such. As well as something like an Arena like area where you could fight with different sort of challenges or just team fight.

Someone suggested some type of PVP sports? I like that. I'd so do that!

Well, I hope they include something, there's a perfectly good arena in Uldah! It'd be a waste if there was no semblance of PVP!

Fix what doesn't work currently in the game before implementing more things that will be broken as a result of previously broken mechanics. Get what I'm saying.

Don't listen to these people. lol

There will be time for PVP later when people actually know their roles, crowd control spells work properly, etc etc. I could be here all day.

I don't mind PVP as far as how it would fit in an FF world. City/State competitions, races, flag capture etc. all sound fine to me. My biggest issue would be actually attempting PVP combat with the current combat system. It still just feels clunky and cumbersome to me.

They should make PvP Blitzball imo.

No, but seriously, I don't think PvP belongs in this game unless it's some kind of sport done with like chocobos or something. This game has no factions and balancing for PvP will come at the cost of the PvE experience. And I do feel that the majority of FFMMO fans play the game for PvE, and not PvP.

One thing I loved about the oldschool FF games and something I miss dearly in new FF games is minigames. When I heard prelaunch a mention of some kind of PvP sport I was all excited over something like blitzball or chocobo racing, but alas, we got nothing.

I got your PVP right here: Triple Triad from FF8!

Target player > open menu > DUUUUEEELLL.
