WoW and Final Fantasy XIV Raids
5 Games That Would Make for Awesome PvEsports
World of Warcraft has already dabbled with PvEsports with the Mythic Dungeon Invitational last year. Watching two clans, side by side, tackling some of the toughest that WoW has to offer was very fun to watch, especially for those familiar, and certainly has potential. Final Fantasy XIV is trying that with its PvP mode, but like Destiny 2, it’s not really latching on as much as the developers would wish.
I fully expect (or hope at least) for Blizzard to continue to support WoW but watching highly skilled Final Fantasy XIV players do their thing could also be highly entertaining too. The interesting advantage that FFXIV has over any other similar game is the connection to Final Fantasy lore. Historically, the toughest fight in FFXIV has been the hardest versions of the Bahamut fight. Highly advertising a showdown versus Bahamut, or any other future fight that taps into FF lore, could draw the non-MMO playing Final Fantasy fan to check out the event. The major hurdle would be toning down the effects that cloud the screen to allow for a better viewing experience.
