Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn Inquiry?

Well, if it comes down to a line over the PvP issue, I'll definitely be joining Heaven's Sword. If there -is- no PvP ruleset, I'll be pushing for official/unofficial RP. Generally less @sshats. =)

I haven't seen anyone say otherwise yet, but I sincerely doubt the game will even have PvP stuff, except for things like Ballista, which XI had. I'm cool with whatever. I'm almost positive I'll love the game, and the only thing I really give a turd-toss about is playing with people I enjoy who I know check their drama at the door. Which means ShiMo is out. He's like watching a full seasons of Desperate Housewives in one sitting. He is also sexually loose.

He also will do anything for curry, you should offer him curry Obby.

Should just merge :P

I said they could just join us, but we've both had the clans around forever, and I think Jack feels the way I do that a lot of people would be disappointed if we didn't go by our respective names.

We've been around since about 2002, and I think VDoP has been around for about that long.

PvP features announced for launch:

Colliseum
4v4 (possibly other #'s, but was mentioend PvP was designed to be balanced as a team sport not solo)
Ranking system based on Colliseum with matching system
PvP gear and seperate earned PvP abilities
Arena design (columns and stairs mentioned) play a role in PvP strategy.
Captured Primals are allowed in PvP.

In one of the first patches after launch they will add in Frontlines, some type of large scale PvP system limited to frontline zones only.

So no PvP'ing just anywhere, seperate PvP/PvE balance, no PvP servers, Arena system and later a large scale PvP system.


Also, Jack is changing the name of his clan for FFXIV - maybe, depending on if we can think up a good name. And once we decide on a name I'm gonna make a killer website for it

Mal just discovered that FFXIV ARR has Player Housing, He has lost his marbles.. And so have I cause thats a pretty awesoem feature .

So, PvP is 4v4 and another mode. there is NO open world PvP, They said Ganking woudl ruin the experience. There IS player Housing, You can customize your Chocobo and it becomes you companion, as it can help you in battle and becomes a party member as well. And other cool news Mal has found.

This is an excerpt.

"As it stands now, there will be two types of PvP areas. The first is the Coliseum, a structure built by all three Grand Companies to serve as a training ground for their soldiers. Players will join teams and be matched against similarly skilled teams in a classic arena format. The other option is zones designated as free PvP areas, warzones that carry increased risk for players and will make that clear when you're entering them.

Hoping for more open-world stuff? You'll be slightly disappointed. Yoshida and the other developers don't feel that open-world ganking fits the feel of FFXIV, so there will not be free-for-all rules in general."

So it has my favorite type of PvP, PvP zones, So if you wonder into a PvP zone then you'll get to PvP pretty much how you want in it. I like that idea better then an entire server Just for ganking.
