PvP is not the main reason most people pick up Final Fantasy 14, but it's such a dramatic change of pace from the normal PvE content that it's one of the reasons many folks keep their subscriptions running during content lulls. In direct contrast with other battle modes in the game, PvP is not about rote memorization of mechanics or how effectively you can pull off your class' rotation. Here, adventurers need to understand how to use a unique toolkit to outsmart and out-DPS unpredictable and fierce opponents.
