Translations (JP to English)

[Reinheart]

@Reinhart you the man SE should pay you.

Would be nice if they did hire me to make my childhood dream come true (to work for square soft) lol but I now know how hard it is to do the official translations... mines nothing like theirs so I doubt that's possible

I'm just doing mines for fun so it's all good, just need to make sure others know mines is not 100% accurate sometimes... don't want to cause any unnecessary problems.

At least YoshiP mentioned me in his post in the past, that was nice enough for me + if my translations can help players/devs in any way to make [Final Fantasy] better it's all good

changing fishing? i wonder if this means we will only be able to fish at nodes like the other 2 gathering. and not just fish all day at the same spot?

I think that'd be a change for the worse. The caveat is that Fisher needs to expend bait to perform their task. Plus, I've noticed that while fishing is possible without a node present, certain fish can be caught only at the nodes. Dark Bass was a big one for me.

I don't think he meant it that way, more like change the fishing system the part where you drop the line, wait for hit, then doing that crappy mini-game all gatherers have. For me rather have real fishing game like mini-game but that's too much for some people so dunno what's going to happen there.

Haha I think part of it is contempt because DoH/DoL are the reason the current story mission fights are so lame.

Hopefully they can pull off interesting content on all the disciplines. DoL aren't bad for me most of the time but I can't play them for long stretches of time. Treasure hunting sounds sweet though.

The reason why things are like this is because they didnt' think outside the box when creating the story content. They could have easily made it where instead you the player playing the role of a fighter, gathering and creator, based on your discipline you would be giving the proper request.

They could of had variables such as
Single Mission:
DoWM=Fight with what was made/gathered/escort
DoL=Gather what's necessary for x cause and deliver it to y person
DoH=Create what is necessary for x cause and send it to y destination

Then they could of had Dual Mission:
DoWM/DoL=Escort gatherer into dangerous territory to gather
DoWM/DoH=Escort Crafter into dangerous territory to produce blueprints or such
DoL/DoH=Gatherer gathers, crafter crafts.

Then finally the Trinity Mission involving all three.

The basic idea is with the "increase challenge" you could be given greater rewards as well as more story for what's being told. Instead of a linear path of storytelling they should have expanded it in sucha way where each discipline had it's own unique line of quest which you would be able to do if you were on the proper class.

Having a more realistic/intuitive system for gathering would be awesome. Like being able to identify markings on trees/rocks for specific items (instead of just using a bar) and aiming for those (but then "aiming" or "marking" would probably need to be more difficult). Or being able to cast your fishing line out to a specific spot (like around driftwood or large gatherings of insects on the water's surface) and then drinking some beer while waiting for a bite and then reeling it in - awesome.


Edit: that was the longest sentence I've ever typed.

If FF14's fishing was a direct rip off of SEGA Bass Master or the fishing mini game from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, I would so do it all the time.

As of now, I avoid it like the plague. It's just so boring and monotonous.

Same... if it was like those games or other fishing games I like playing I can enjoy playing in FF14... I did till 30 just for the subligar and to help out on my alchemy for later on but the fishing in FF14 and even FF11 was boring as hell.... wish fishing, mining, botany had their own individual mini-games.

Fishing they were talking about having a scoreboard on who fished biggest and whatever but had to work on that type of system also to make that possible and really didn't get into details about the actual fishing.

Haha, I remember back in the day when my buddy got the fish rod controller for SNES. So much time wasted with that.
