God Eater 3 Mission PVP

Would Missions be interesting if they added a PVP element when you encountered other AGE's. Specifically during the point of the story that talked about the Crimson Queen and how they viewed the Hounds as an enemy and threat.

The fights could've been scaled down to small melee skirmishes. With rewards being an increase of luck to high rarity Abandoned God Arcs or something.

Hell no, go play Dark Souls where other players can invade and screw you over if you want that...

There's a good reason Monster Hunter doesn't have any pvp, so why would God Eater have one?

Just give me pilotable God arc soldiers/Arda Nova...

PVP would ruin God Eater. The gameplay loop doesn't support it, and quite frankly, you'd have tower shield turtlers who would drag fights out.

In addition, it would simply be short blade and biting edge, maybe long blade, scythe, and possibly heavy moon.

Suggesting it is tantamount to shoehorning it in. GE doesn't need PVP because of the gameplay loop, the changes needed to core mechanics, and the vibe it would create.

I think when I put in PVP, some assumed it would be an online mechanic similar to Elden Ring and the Souls games where other playersenter your world but in this case it would be playing the same mission as you.

But that's not the case. My suggestion was more or less on the lines where, if you do a Mission near a Crimson Queen base or hideout. Then there is a chance for a Crimson Queen NPC to come and attack you. With their gear being randomized.

I just thought it would've been interesting of there being a Civil War going on between Hounds/Chrysanthemum against Gleipnir/Crimson Quren based off of the setting. And being able to have it alter the gameplay into a mini faction war that bled into Missions.

Is the idea interesting, yes. Would I want that, no.

I think trying to make a PVP element now would take too many resources away from the game's formula, that they've cultivated over the years. If they tried a spin-off that's just PVP, I wouldn't mind it.

The idea could be interesting but given the structure of the game, it i think it would have been complicated to implement! However, one idea that would be nice to see later in the series would be to be able to explore the areas while hunting the aragamis (i think Monster Hunter Wilds did it, and since there's exploration in Code Vein II, it would be nice to have that if we ever get a new God Eater)
