FISHING 2.0

I think they said they remaking how fishing works they took our feedback on how we dislike it. IMO i hope they making a better version of FFXI i always enjoy the fact that you was moving the rod and fighting the fish then you press enter and you get it.

i hope it something like that or better.

Ok, you got me looking, and I managed to locate this little excerpt in the 3rd live letter.

We’re going to make sure both crafters and gatherers can be played as proper classes. As for fishing, we’re still working to improve it. Stay tuned!

Since we’re not able to show you how the fishing system works today, how about I show you some artwork of the upcoming fisher gear?

From this one can infer that the fishing system will be different from the mining/botany system. I missed that the first time. Unfortunately there is no clue on exactly HOW different it'll be. It may have a similar 'feel', with only a different interface once you activate a node. This would make sense to me.

I'll shy away from topics such as lure depth or how you 'jiggle' it, lest I plunge the thread back into the same state in which I found it.

I'm guessing since there will no longer be an offhand tool for fishing, that it will be very different from mining and botney in it's mechanics.

Glad I finished my offhand gathering before final save.

*snicker*

Yeah, that's the one, i was just looking at that, too. Sadly, there's been no new information about fishing after that.

I love fishing and can't wait to see how it works. I hope it is different then going to a spot, cast, and click on a fish I want from a list. I like fishing to be a little challenging. ^^

Fishing was the 2nd job I got to 50 xD

I cant wait to fish in ARR. got the Hamlet Puller's hat right before the world ended too :D

While I know I can't realistically expect it, if 2.0's fishing system could end up being anything like Zelda: Ocarina of Time system, I'd take fishing to from lvl 1-50 in a week just for the fun of it.

Yes fishing in Zelda (Ocarina of Time) was very fun ^^ probably the best fishing I ever experienced in a RPG.
