I was going off of certain information that was available temporarily and then removed. The "hook fish" skill tool tip indicated a chance of failure. You're right, though.. in the video it looks like there is no fighting the fish on the way in. I was only referring to the chance of failure with regard to hooking the fish.

Are you saying you want to go back to "You hook the fish but still cannot reel it in" days??

If stats (through gear & food) modify that chance, then yes!

I was clarifying my meaning with regard to Llen's post, not indicating a preference.

I personally would like to fight the fish like the updated system in FF XI. I didn't care for the mini-game in FF XIV 1.0, but I am not too keen on automatic fishing, either.

I do like for there to be a chance for failure, though. I don't want to feel like I could get away with pressing a single button and alt-tabbing out. That's why I like that I have to perform actions during crafting in this game and it isn't just "press a button and wait for the progress bar to complete" like most other mmorpgs these days.

Still better than real life fishing :P j/k
