Fishing needs to be changed to function like mining or botany give us ability

[realmreborn]

Like in mining or botany u pick ur target material that u want to harvest or mine why it cant function that way for fishers let us target pool of fish and pick type of fish we want to from that pool isnt each bait designed to target specific fish i dont see the harm in making small menu and picking desired fish with needed bait to catch it

FSH is fine as it is. NO CHANGES needed whatsoever.

Fishing is NOT fine as it is. Aside from opinions of its usefulness, it barely even counts as a disciple of the land. It has GP like any other DoL but has no use for it. You can activate the Ward abilities from miner and botanist while fishing but these seem to do nothing. Outside of that, the only ability FSH has is Mooch, and this does not require any GP, making GP a meaningless statistic and rendering gatherer accessories mostly useless without adding as much materia as they can take for perception/gathering.

Just because it functions doesnt' mean there weren't some silly design decisions.

FSH was mostly meant as a hobby, don't see a prob. :P

P.S I Know GP is useless, so kinda wished they used it to get HQ fish easier.

Well fishing will always have a chance aspect to it. Think of if this weekend you went to a lake and brough gear and bait to catch say trout, yet since the lake has a number of different kinds of fish you may get bites from any of them. Even though the bait you had bought was designed for trout fishing. This is really why I think it should stay the same. Makes the class more fun that way.

If you go to sea and see a pool of tuna cast ur rod into that pool would you get another type of fish beside tuna?

It's possible yes. Have you never gone fishing before?

There is always a chance, because there are other fish that swim with tuna schools for protection from predators. Though very slim. But back to the game there are spots where only one fish will bite at the bait you use on your line, with this you can target fish you want.

So fishing IMO is fine, about the only changes I would like to see is a tackle box and more fish used in crafting.
