Fishing in ARR

[Wynn]

I wasn't a fan of fishing in 1.0 because I found it boring. It actually put me to sleep. But I expected they were going to fix fishing not make it even more boring.

So I hope we are just misunderstanding what he means.

Also, I feel compelled to mention that fishing was not random like some here have said. If you knew what you were doing you could almost always get the exact fish you were looking for on every cast.

Indeed - and the only way you could ever make any money because 99% of the fish sold for less then how much it cost to buy the bait. Targeting good alchemy/cooking synths and GC donation fish was where the money was at (that and crystals).

I wouldn't mind a delay in the release of the class if it means our fisher will have a more exciting or at least fair economical power - if we are understanding the scenario correctly please pass the message to Yoshida Reps, if not.. heheheheheh its the forums lol

I was just thinking this. I'd be fully willing to take a delay on fishing if it meant we'd get meaningful content. And yeah, targeting certain fish was a must by the end. I sold a lot of navigator's ears near the end, in hopes of saving up enough for a nice little house somewhere in Limsa.

I agree with this. I could fish up anything I wanted, as long as you knew what you were doing.

Agreed, it took a bit of research but I NEVER had trouble going out and catching things. Right bait, right lure, right spot! That preparation in itself was kinda fun too~
