Steal FFXV's Fishing System

[SpookyGhost]

XV fishing actually feels like real fishing which is why people who play XIV will be put off by it. The XIV system is basically Animal Crossing's fishing system (a game mainly marketed toward children who have a lot of free time on their hands), except you can change bait in XIV.

All the DoH jobs remind me of this, basically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7GAtSIy4-w

No. Way too much work and resources used. I can catch 5 or more fish in ffxiv than it takes to catch 1 fish in ffxv

Personally I enjoy the fishing in XV over XIV just because it is more engaging. Perhaps they could re-tool it to a mini-game in gold saucer though?

Now this seems neat. Complicating an otherwise simple and comfy job- I can imagine, would be infuriating or at the least irritating to someone. But raising the stakes and offering a higher reward via Gold Saucer seems like an actually great idea.

Fishing in XV is super good (although trying to find the bait that works while your crew backseat heckling is a huge pain since the game is terribad telling you what lures work with what fish... most of the the fish marked on the lure outright ignore it).

Once you get the fish to bite though it's fun, reminds me of fishing in Zelda OoT. I think the main problem would be that it takes too long for each fish and is too action-gamey (i.e. client-side or server-side? if all client-side it's just going to get botted, if it's all server-sided it's not feasible with lag). It'd be nice at least for Big Fish to have a skill component rather than 90% static fail rate.

Too much effort

It's gotta stay brain dead in here

After looking at this, nope. I don't want this kind of fishing. Thank you for the explaining tho

By the way, seeing as no one posted a video of fishing gameplay.... here we go. Might do a bit better to see it than just read.

I like the system on ff xv but on FF xiv it will give something more to pay i think :/ buy a fishing wire when it break.
