Who is hyped for Lucis!

[desufin]

I'm hoping that Lucis won't be the next step up from Ironworks, but rather an alternate progression for fishers who don't want to take the Ironworks path.

Getting an Ironworks rod takes an awful lot of work. If SE plans on continuing to advance to higher-level fishing with higher-level requirements, they're going to need to introduce alternate rods with less of a time investment.

Forcing players who wish to advance to get an Ironworks rod would be akin to forcing DoM and DoW who want to advance to acquire a Zodiac weapon.

This is bullshit from the getgo because when they introduced the Ironworks Rod, they also introduced at least one fish that demanded it if you didn't have FC buff at your disposal (hint: many don't). The Lucis Rod is not only much better than the Ironworks Rod but also much easier to get. It's absolutely stupid SE did this and it's a major middle finger to people who worked on getting the Ironworks Rod because it has literally no use. And no not even glamour because it looks incredibly generic and dull compared to a Supra.
