Q. There’s been a lot of talk about how you’ve been influenced by WoW and other MMOs. Will that inspiration have any effect on the PvP that will be implemented in the future?
A: I think it’s really difficult when it comes to PvP, and I’m well aware that even if you’re only inspired by the rules and systems and try to implement them, you’ll never get the same results if the battle mechanics are different.
The FF series is a franchise that grew up on consoles, -Snip-
Which is kind of interesting since the recent live-letter from Yoshi showed that they’re making several changes to PvP with Endwalker to improve the experience. A 5v5 environment, removal of role requirements, and gameplay and mechanical changes to the PvP templates used.
That’s actually where I went to after they ignored the 9.1.5 PvP megathread on PTR lol, I haven’t touched PvP yet though, been genuinely having such a good time in their open world that i’ve been too distracted to hop in their PvP lobby.
That, and i’ve fallen from grace and began to play League again
i say on u gotta lisen to battlemonster there goodjob lisen to cered there goodjob lisen to shadina , me celebrate , dopeman , alotta goodjob on the WOW form there gonna probly lisen soon bc wanna get payer BACK wanna get alot goodjob on GAME wanna dont go bankropet ! make pvp fun MORE for casual regaler payer !
Was gonna point this out. They haven’t been big on PvP in the past, but are improving it considerably in Endwalker. Changing the gearing and rewards system too.
I’ve never PvPed in FF14 before period, and I’ve been playing since HW, but I’m actually considering giving it a shot now, not the opposite.
Not to say it doesn’t have a weirdly interesting approach. Moba style gameplay in MMO format. Gear has no bearing, rewards are only cosmetic, and entirely separate pvp spellbook
That’s pretty silly honestly, but whatever floats their boat.
Even some of the biggest players welcoming people from WoW were straight up telling people they will be disappointed if they’re coming for PvP content.
wow’s pvp is garbage so no, no one is going to come to wow to pvp. well, they might come to try it out but will quickly realize its garbage.
all blizzard has to do is provide templates with customizable stats and balance the specs frequently. provide solid transmogs, mounts, pets to purchase with honor every season. they do that, then yes, 100 percent, all mmorpg players will come to wow for pvp.
FFXIV PVP has never been popular outside of using it to power level other jobs at some point. The combat is too slow for it and the awful latency kills it even more unless you use a VPN because the standard routing to their servers is awful.
