Petition for the Fishermen, Join the Fight!

Classy bump.

Silver sharks and Hammer heads.. Go fish those if you want gil. theyre goin for 2-4k a pop on some servers.

This is the right idea.

Let me become a famous Chef, make infamous foods to boost my stats, healing and MP boosts.

What use is fishing if you cant use the fish!!

Been 2 days, bump.

Please please please...give fish a use. I don't care what it is, as long as its something!

It sucks that fishing isn't anywhere near as useful as it was in 1.0. I liked fishing, even if I didn't do it too much, but it needs to have more useful to go along with the fun it is in 2.0!

Wait, I'm casting a seriously hard necromantic spell.

It took me a distressingly long time to realise that this thread was, in fact, not modern.

I know they've done some stuff to make fishing a bit more interesting, but yes, I am always in favour of more relevance of fishing to other classes. Botanist and Miners are involved in huge amounts of the crafting disciplines, but Fishing is just sorta... like, of the highest level culinarian recipies, exactly one ingrediant across the four top-tier dishes is fished. One discipline, one ingrediant.

HQ fish would be bigger and you could even get different size tanks that could hold more or bigger fish.

How about a pond for the yard of FC houses? Similar to the garden, the pond would come in various sizes and we would populate it with fish. The fish would have to be fed once in a while, otherwise they would die and have to replaced!

In addition to small aquariums, this would make fishing quite popular I'm sure.

How about a reason for big fish to exist? Other than just to add an extra questline to the game that goes nowhere and ultimately has no real reward? How about accessories that don't boost a completely useless stat? How about a way to carry all these dozens of baits around without taking up almost half my entire inventory?

How about if the devs put a little more effort into the class?

IMO they need to first drop the current braindead gathering... Then I'd worry about how useful it is. ATM I just avoid it simply cause if I wanted to watch TV, I'd do it without playing FFXIV.

In 1.0 gathering was somewhat fun... In 2.0 - Press 0 four times, move to next node, press 0 four times, repeat x9999

But I guess people like braindead game or they like being able to watch TV while playing for some unknown reasons.

What they did to the gathering classes from 1.0 to 2.0 is really a tragedy. It's one of the changes in the transition that makes me weep every time I think about it.

Yeah, I'm glad I maxed most of the gathering classes on 1.0 so I didn't have to go through the horror on 2.0 lol

I support and approve of this post.

Fishing is so dull as it is right now too!

Check these suggestions of mine out :)

If fishing gets things to do with the fish then they job needs to be made 100x harder to level. Or at least on par with other crafts.
