Redo catch % for old "big fish."

[DrWho2010]

I think fishing in this game is just ridiculous when it comes down to the requirements that they have to be caught with like build in 4-5 rng based mechanics, and for what all this in the end? Just to get a ???? entry lesser in your archive und somewhen eventually some lousy few achivement points nobody else than you cn see or cares even about how much others have...
For something that mostly always can't even be placed into an aquarium to show others what you did do for a feat there.

Fishing in this game should become completely reworked for when PS4 support stops and the game gets its next overhaul for the next gen and it should work much more like FF15's fishing, which is hands down much better.
Fishing needs to become skillbased and not absurdly luck based beyond everything what is good and evil.

Everything what a fisher player should have to do to catch any fish in FF14 is

- Bring proper equipment that gives the required catch stats
- Use the right bait
- use correctly your fisher skills to help out this way to catch wat you want
- fish at the right time/moment at the correct spots/living points of what you want to catch...

This endless mooch-mooch-mooch-mooching needs to get removed, its just a plain stupid and boring as annoying as hell method thast is vefy uncreative too, just there too make things more complicated and difficult, than they need to be.
Or do we have to catch in real life also too first at midnight, while it's raining 4 differen't fishes mooched from each other, just to be able to catch a fish that we need as bait to mooch with it the actual target fish you wan?

No, we don't, because thats plain simply said totally unrealistical. Fishing in FF14 needs to become more realistical, if it tries already going on the route of hyperrealism by simulating that you can catch certain fishes only at right times, with correct weather and fitting baits, then should this rule of thumb also rule out totally unexplainable unrealistical omni-mooching, which exists only out of dev uncreativity, because they knew no better way to make otherwise fishing more challening, other then depending themself as usually always on putting everything full with rng mechanics everywhere n in this case even multiple times after another.

Disgusting, creates in me just a feeling of competely not caring about it as content, instead of having actually fun with it.._

Would a want to play rng games, i'd go directly into a Casino and not go fishing in FF14, just only that I can't lose real money here, nor win some.

you realize it has to be rng in an 24/7/365 online MMO otherwise everyone would just blow thru the fishing log just by bringing the right bait at the right time and everything is just given to you. the rng is there to gate progress.

Basically. A lot of the fishing suggestions I see from people who don't enjoy fishing are just "remove the gameplay, make it Sightseeing Log 2".

The worst part is, ARR had the best sightseeing log and people hated it too and now every other expansions log is really bad. You can't even see the sight you're supposed to from the vista, and it's braindead easy.

Any new 'old-fashioned' sightseeing log entry would be trivial with BLU's suicide spell and rezzing on a hard to reach vista. Even infamous lamp post in Kugane is completelly neutralized now.
