In more specifics, a zone where players fight an enemy army for bases throughout a large zone. Something a couple of MMO's have done for PVP, but none really have done PVE (Discluding Tabula Rasa).
The reason I think it would especially work for FF14, is the Disciples of the Hand. Including a means for crafters to come in and actually directly help with overall gameplay would be a unique, and I think very neat feature. Have Carpenters rebuild walls, blacksmiths making gates/increasing armor of allied NPCs, alchemists making siege oil/healing potions for players and NPC's.
Then add bases that hold resource based roles, like mining. Where miners can help mine for zone specific ores to help the blacksmiths. Give them certificates for their work that they can turn in for special rewards, and player related crafting resources.
Have supply lines that might need protection depending how close to the frontline it is. Plenty of small, and large things for players to do throughout the zone.
TLDR: A zone where players fight an AI controlled army for bases. Every class, combat and crafting, come together to help towards a zone wide goal.
P.S. I debated on making this a lot longer and detailed. Buuuuuut, I figured I'd keep it much shorter.
