Square Enix has announced that a player vs. player mode will be added to Final Fantasy XI in a upcoming update. The PvP system will differ from PvP systems seen in other MMORPGs as battles will take place in a controlled, tournament-like environment, which means that there will be no player killing where a high-level player can run around and slaugther unsuspecting low-level players.
The purpose of "Conflict" in FFXI is to defend the honor of one's country and improve its reputation, thus giving PvP patriotic overtones. Square Enix has not revealed the release date of the new "Conflict" system but you can read the story behind it at the official Final Fantasy XI site.
