FFXIV Fishing System

Challenging and different from the other DoL lol, all 3 have almsot the same mini-game, altho with diferent graphics, but its almost the same stuff...

I agree... however, being a selfish fisher, as much as I enjoy the mini game, the other two can have something different, and leave me my metronome X)

IMHO, the minigame seems to make sense with fishing the most, the way you have to feel a knack for where the fish in the area you're fishing in are likely to be. With chopping wood and mining rocks, you're not dealing with something that's alive.

Isnt it always the same "sweet spot" to target the same fish over and over? And the rod moving location always the same? That way it isnt the normal way a fisherman normally fishes since its random the catch unless ur fishing in a place where only 1 kind of fish is out there!

Wasn't saying it was a realistic representation of fishing. It's only a game, not a fishing sim X)

Also, I've yet to fish in a spot where there's only 1 kind of fish at any 1 depth... Even if you know the sweet spot for the fish you're after, that's not always the fish that's on the hook. Even if you're keeping tabs on the remainder bar, multiple fish hang out at the same depth with the same remainder bar. Then there's the fish from higher and lower depths catching on your hook from time to time.
