Yoshi-p says: "Button pressing is stressful." ....

[gahoo]

Yoshida, and the translation on this, was a bit back and forth. I think he wasn't so much saying that there will be no button pressing, per se, but that "extra" (and impliedly unnecessary) button pressing he was not in favor of, and also requiring that those presses be timed. Track record for the rest of HELM is pretty good so far, so we will have to wait and see. He did, however, stress a few times that this was really about communing with nature and passing the time while waiting for others.

communing with nature

Seriously, though, I'm wondering wth he's on about with this. Maybe it's tied into the long-awaited smartphone app, which uses GPS to determine my location, and if I actually go out to a river or coastline and chillax, it rewards me with in-game fish...

I got a kick out of that statement, personally.

Trying to fool a fish into impaling itself on a sharp, metal hook is "conversation with nature"?

Sounds more like premeditated assault, or an ambush, to me lol.

However, I do like the sound of this bit...

This is not to say we’re not thinking of other things. For example, maybe you fish up a treasure map, and that map leads to a new quest- we are planning things like that.

That's very intriguing.

As though fishing may not pay off in terms of the fish themselves... but of what else you may catch along the way.

Also, it's good to see that Yoshi-P has his mind in reality regarding the RMT, how they'll find a way to get around mechanics regardless. Which tells me there's other means they'll be implementing to deal with them.
