Fishing Not Respectful Of Player's Time

[Knot_D]

My problem with the legendary fish is that their canvas ink is so smudgy. I recently caught Placodus (blue rare fish from Ocean Fishing) and the canvas is so low quality



I planned to collected them all canvas to decorate my large's main hall, but this canvas kinda disappoints me

Ugh this is so true. I'm glad they're expanding each patch the ones you can place into aquariums but that so few Big Fish can be placed is frustrating. And the fish prints were a (relatively recent) addition to fix the limited number of aquarium fish, but that they're not only monochrome but blurry lessens their impact. Same with the sight-seeing log paintings, btw. It pains me that only the later expansions have colored vistas instead of the ugly sepia-wash. I sincerely hope that the paintings and prints get the texture upscale in 7.0 and aren't forgotten or overlooked, even if they aren't a priority like character models or gearsets.

Y'all are acting as if the time sink is the only issue, and that there also isn't the huge issue of babysitting and not being able to answer the phone, talk to FC members, nothing. You can't do anything but watch the game, and a lapse in focus or a bad trigger finger could cost you days in real time.

Sanity and health are also the costs of this terrible, unfun fishing system. And yeah, nobody has to do it-- but how the heck are you going to defend content by saying "it's for nobody to actually do-- only people who want to hurt themselves"?

Also, you many people who literally word it like "no, don't ruin fishing!"... Making the minigame not require your constant, perfect focus-- and making it actually fun to do-- isn't ruining it. You also sound like you're throwing a tantrum.

You cant do any of that mid raid pull either. Big fishing is the savage and ultimate of fishing.

What? What part of fishing requires that much concentration at all times?

And even if it did require such effort, how is that different from any other intense activity? Do you make these same complaints about raiding, and chocobo racing, and such?

CORRECT!

That is EXACTLY who big fishing is for. It's designed specifically for the people who like that type of crazy grind. The fact that you are not the target audience doesn't mean the system is broken.

Making the minigame not require your constant, perfect focus

Again, what?

Oh no, the game requires your attention for a few minutes!! This will impact your health and sanity!!

Do you honestly hear yourself? Maybe change your relationship with the game first instead of making a problem that doesn't exist, if you lose your health because you missed a fish in a game you need some help. Besides, you have a HUGE amount of fish that doesn't work this way and you doesn't really need to complete your fishing log asap, nor ever.

Again, you have the rest of the entire game for you.
