I think what they're aiming for in fishing in 2.0 is more of a self achievement sort of profession. You fish for the sake of fishing, catch different species with your best size record etc, not to farm the fish to sell them since it should have no impact on the economy as he said, and occasionally we reel in other stuff.

I never tried fishing in 1.0, so I won't be able to compare it to that, but I'm looking forward to it. I love achievements and going after them, so if it's provides me enough of that I'll enjoy it ^^

i wonder if FF fishing is going to be like グランダー武蔵 :P

That would be awesome xD

I want that fishing rifle-rod, and a bait that eats the other baits!

I'm happy to hear fishing is not 100% useless.

While fishing, your catches will go into your inventory, and you are able to both sell it back to the market, use it as an ingredient in your food recipes, or use it immediately for bait to lure in different fish. You can also fish up coral to be used in various accessories and even more surprising items.

Oh thank the Twelve! Fishing won't be totally useless. ( ;w; )

Hey all,

As Yoshida brought up in previous Letter from the Producer LIVE, fishing is designed to be a casual concept that can be enjoyed between battle content or while waiting for Duty Finder matching or for your friends to log in.

I thought fishing wont affect the economy if there a fish that make a awesome level 50 dps food. You would think that fish would cost a hell of a lot and RMT and players would be fishing all day. Unless you guys are going to end up fixing everytime that happen seem like a losing battle lol.

If an RMT wants to catch a lvl50 fish, it has to lvl it's fisher to lvl 50 first.

Which isn't all that easy. You see, in 1.0 an RMT could make a character, log in, do one cutscene, equip lvl fish gear, open a shop and RMT fish all day and then equip an alembic and craft money making shards all day. Shards would be sold off these level 1 characters and because they were so valueable it would bring in enough gil to sell.

In ARR, an RMT could make a character, have to lvl that character to 10 do the quests for the classes to 10, do the main story quest to 10 and then equip his rod. Just one problem, lvl 1 fish gear is seriously junk very quickly. Not only that, he can't sell his stuff for gear until lvl 20...

You get what's happening here? There's no need to lock fish completely out of the market for RMT. You see, RMT don't just need to make gil, they need to make enough gil to sell and enough gil to sell at a PROFIT. They need to make millions with minimal effort.

ARR from the get-go sets up several hurdles. In the case of fishing, bot fishing itself is fairly easy. It's getting their that's difficult. Also, Yoshi alluded to new measures to catch botters. And you will never make enough gil on fish alone to sell for a profit. It takes too much effort and you will probably get caught botting.

And really that's the lynchpin here. If the anti-botting measures aren't strong enough, even the highest hurdles will eventually be overcome. Once in position a bot fisher can still make gil if the bot stays there long enough. So those anti-botting measures will be extremely important to discourage the most determined botters.

Hope you understand they have not ban any of the 1.0 RMT players. There loads of them i saw at least 30+ a day while mining and fishing. 8+ lalafalls follow a hume all with adfa bbba adfa names. All of them pretty much are legacy members and would have early access they have the time to do the quest then start doing fishing or other stuff.

I'm not saying they should lock out fishing due to RMT. I'm just saying you can't say it wont affect the economy then say oh you can still craft fish into food. If there a demand for a type of food and if that food is a fish food then fish price would go up. Which then turn they have to fix the issue and would end up losing profit for normal players. that what i'm was trying to get at.

But i guess it would always be a endless battle with RMT and there really noting much SE can do. If they do anything it would always affect us players.

I'd point out how that's really completely wrong however, some people are completely determined that no RMT was ever banned ever. Please keep in mind that for every RMT banned 10 more created. That was the nature of 1.0. It was a breeding ground for lalafells named adljka lakdsj

But keep in mind that even if they managed to survive the 1.0 transfer of characters, they only have 1/10 of the gil they once did. Meaning that they're no more game destroying than anyone else. And like Legacy players that are actually legitimate, they still have to go through the class quests and story lines and dungeons and Ifrit before they can sell things.

BTW, I think Miounne mentioned something about certain names not being accepted into 2.0

anyway, thanks to level sync in dungeons, I don't think even a level 50 bot fisher would last very long without dungeon gears. They would have to level a DoW/DoM from scratch grinding gear and getting aetherytes etc. If they only needed to do it for one character I would understand your concern, but they have to do this with every asfkdl lakdsjf Lalafell they make.
