thats not contradictory lol because something is always opened always lol your statement of things not being available at certain times hasn't been true since the 50s or maybe not even then. that last part was sacarism you should have got it since something is always opened for anything lol

Sentences with "lol" every three words and no punctuation are impossible to read for me.
I won't even bother to read this

Now They could add in you can only catch certain things at this time to make it real or this season


which by the way some times fish bite better in later times and eariler times but they alway bite if your paitence

You can fish 24/7 in the game too but the fishing tour boat has a schedule. It's not a complicated concept

What ever I will just say this last note to you then. "You can do anything at any time for as long as you desire regardless of what time of day/time it is."

Now thats done dismissing a white knight.

What they should have done is made you have to pay gil to ride the boat where you could set your own time limit and stay time based on the amount of gil you paid the for the ride.

so 10k would buy you 10mins or so


100k would buy you an hour

1mill would buy you 5 hours

This would give them a real gil sink they want people to spend gil and this would have been the best way for everyone and everything.

Also when it comes to boats In real life you can go boat fishing at anytime as long as you get your own boat(Which honestly they should have added personal boats already for this kind of thing)

I think it's meant to give people a feeling similar to fishing on the boats in FFXI.

But if its just going to be instanced with a set number of players, without a boat actually moving in every 2 hours, what is the point of having it time gated?

You need to catch intuition fish to get white scrips.

Its not, the problem is is that its too far apart. If we had one every hour (or if you actually make it on the boat 30m) i would bite my tongue about the time gate.

It's obviously been done to prevent people from spamming it and becoming dead content in a week. At which point a thread "Ocean Fishing is dead content wtf SE lulz" would be in this threads place and people would be complaining. So damned if you do and damned if you don't. It's fine as is.
