For those who enjoy open world PvP - Is this doable, why or why not?
Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Probably won't be open world PvP at launch, not saying it isn't doable in the future. But Yoshi-P stated in this article http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/02/21/final-fantasy-xivs-yoshida-on-pvp-chocobos-and-mobile-apps/
^ that he didn't think ganking pvp formats fit FF style.
PvP has been confirmed via Coliseum and Grand Company designated warzone area, which the article cites as having increased risk for players.
These two systems to start with imo are a good basis for PvP to start from, i've always found the most enjoyable Pve/PvP balance when Pve is the focus, yet arena's like the coliseum and warzone designated areas are available for those who want to test their skills against other players/guilds.
I believe striking such a balance like WoW or say GW1 did allows not only a larger potential player base but a nice additional change of pace options for different types of gamers.

Exactly.
The abilties and effects have potential for very intriguing pvp at the least (Sleep effects, limit breaks, jumps, etc)
so that implementing it in a constrained, low-stress steady fashion is the best idea.
Balancing patches, pvp gear restrictions etc is inevitable but necessary for the opportunity for fun spectated matches amongst ones server or warzone skirmishes.
I wish OP!
Maybe 1 day for now we have like the others have said.

Yes that is it DAoC , He was one of the top PvP players in that game . SO he will make a great PvP style and system

Never looked at a FF mmo tbh.
ive played every FF game ever created on the console's tough
Now ive read that there might be PVP it flashes on my radar.
Going to check if i can find some vids on the tube, seen a dungeon and it dint look to bad ^^ it looked great ^^
But ive also seen how SE fall off the mountain....FF13 i think it was ? bought it....and it broke my heart to see how bad this game was.
Evrything was on rails
No open world, just a to b to c
Now that ive watched some footage my interest greatly increased
If some of you guys have some vids to share please do so !
iam still waiting on my damn fracking FF7 remake !!!
No one can share videos because the game is in closed beta and there is a NDA on the game . You can go here http://www.youtube.com/feed/UCpx2BZg8ABgaDV50sGJtWAg and watch official videos . Maybe in June the NDA will be lifted and everyone not in beta can see the game on Youtube or streaming on Twitch

I have no expectation for anything remotely resembling decent pvp to come from Final Fantasy.
Does anyone have video footage of "Colliseum and Grand Comany designated warzone areas" ?
It would be absolutely awesome if they directly ripped off some realm vs realm from DAOC. But it's just not something I have come to expect with this franchise.
Wait and see.
By taking a look at FFXI, its current pvp state, its map design and layout, its challenges when it comes to travel.
And then figuring FFXIV closely follows FFXI minus the interface.
Obviously it CANNOT work and never would work. Just imagine the campers just chilling at crucial zone points where its narrowest and with heavy traffic.
How far did you even get? People complain so much about it being bad when it's not.
There is open world. How much open world do you want to be when they are on the run and always split apart?
When everything gets settled there are plenty of side quests, hunts and open world.
What makes them not mix?
i often wonder where these people come from...its like they see mmo and assume "oh it must have pvp" w/no consideration of the IP or player expectations of that IP or even if the developers are capable of creating meaningful pvp.
oh well.

One could be called finite, the other infinite.
A finite game is played for the purpose of winning,
an infinite game for the purpose of continuing play."

they had pvp in FFXI but nobody really did it. So it really became like a lost concept even though its still in the game. I think its more so the type of people that play FF are normally for the content more so then pvp. And FF skills are very stationary and many of the common games that have the WoW movement concept is alot of turning and random casts, mele strikes etc which isn't like how FF mmo's have been thus far. however it could still have good pvp as GW 1 was great pvp without WoW's system. Though i prefer it to be in an area cause i hate open world pvp don't like being forced into random epeen battles if i don't have to.
Free to play = content updates for the cash shop. Buy to play = content updates for the cash shop.
Subscription = Actual content updates!
Which is why I brought up the idea of a choice of servers.
True, that makes sense - The audience the title draws in aren't really PvPers by nature. Legit answer, thanks. I could see it being odd for them and outside of their comfort zone of play.
FFXI, FFXIV were pure PVE MMOS. If you guys think that FE MMOS will be about quality PVP than i am telling you right now you will be disappointed. It is as unrealistic as expecting EQ MMOS to have amazing PVP. These games just do not attract that kind of players and have history deep rooted in PVE.
