Fishing lacking

[Zenaku]

Fishing in FFXIV seem to be lacking it's boring what if they added the system from FFXI? The fishing in FFXIV would stay the same but once you get the fish. You have to start fighting it by pressing left and right and up like in FFXI. I think this would bring something more too fishing then what is currently on FFXIV it also bring more realism to fishing.

I don't know what they could do for the other 2 Gathering but for fishing i think this would be a nice added feature.

IMO, There are many other things with much more importance than fighting fish. Not saying it doesn't need a change, but holyhell if they fix more irrelevant things (such as the above) before the core issues, people are going to start losing faith.

Just my .02 cents.

I can't help but feel that so many of these mini games in FFXI and XIV are poorly approached. They seem to ask themselves, "what kind of content can we make that don't add any coding whatsoever to the game we already have?" or "what kind of activity can't a bot do?" rather than "What is a fun minigame?" This focus (or copout) results in very flat content that makes you wonder if they're just mods of the same systems they already made for other things. In the mining story quest you need to make a pit in the ground. What is this pit? Some unique feature that adds to gameplay? No. It's a mining node in the ground that you strike. There is no pit. It's a text pit. MUD games have you make better pits than XIV does.

Breath of Fire's fishing versus any minigame in FFXI or XIV. Not even close. At least you can tell it's not just a mod of the battle system, or that the real point isn't to engage the player, but to prevent the robot.

Sadly that's the real problem with the minigames. They're not designed as games. They're designed as captchas.
