Petition for the Fishermen, Join the Fight!

If we cant get fish as a material for cooking or potion making a different use would be that player homes could have an aquarium and you could sell the fish you catch to players so they can fill them. You could make it so that each fish you put in the aquarium acts as another actual fish. so you could put 5 carp and 1 clam and it would actually show. HQ fish would be bigger and you could even get different size tanks that could hold more or bigger fish.

This. I remember FF11 you could make an aquarium for your mog house using various fish from holiday events. I'd love this for the FF14 houses.

But let's not stop at aquariums. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to have a record catch stuffed and mounted on a wall as decoration. Or make weapons out of the parts of certain fish. (One MMO I played allowed to your to turn certain fish you caught into hand weapons. Nothing funnier than going into PVP and slapping someone to death with a fish). Or fishing up mini pets--who wants a pet lobster, seasnail, or baby seal?

If we can't make money off the catches, at least let us fish up cosmetic items for even more fun.

this little guy can be fished up in the salt strand in lower la noscea a cute little minion...

as for fishing, i like fishing in 1.0 but i don't care for it in 2.0...just...boring....like real fishing...cast line, wait, get something, repeat...kinda like spear fishing in 1.0
as an alchemist though i liked making shards and would always fish on the boat ride from limsa to thanalan.
don't know what was wrong with shard synth. you needed fish and a crystal to make the shards...but you could provide shards to people who need them.

Wait really!?!?!? I would love this!!!!! Is it a certain level?

[Punainen]

Yes, people keep pointing to it as a passtime... But the game in its entirety is a passtime. I don't need a passtime within a passtime.

Others point to the FEW meager uses for a SCANT number of fish... While all other gatherers can find some use in EVERYTHING they collect.

I want fishing to be MORE useful, MORE worthwhile.

I don't want 95% of the catches to be 1-5gil vendor garbage.

As an idea, in FFXI we had legendary rods and fish. Now I'm sure they are here too but I haven't really gotten to fishing but how about a battle on a sea shore that could only be started by a maxed fisherman? Fishing up a legendary fish and the mother comes in to save the fish? Or you use that legendary fish as bate to reel up the monster to fight!

ahh the secret satisfaction of stabbing people with a swordfish >

*scribbles on the parchemnt*
I'm just a guppy in a sea of sharks, but i do have great expectations for my fishing days ahead than being haggled by Sisipu into the salted herring market! If i can cast my line from the top of the upper decks for Coral Butterflies there shan't be limits to the abyss depths monstrosities I might be able to reel in! We need to be able to show it off!

There is a huge market for the turtle pets...

The gigantpole minion is gotten via fishing only.
