(Saved by a Lalafell!)

I do remember Yoshi-P talking about gathering in general, possibly in a Live Letter, and he stated that mining and logging has been revamped, and are quite similar in terms of gameplay. And to be honest, in 1.0, apart from the visuals of the striking gauge, they we're very much alike.

He did say, that they have some other plans for fishing, and later on announced that all the lures are to begone with, along with all ammunition and projectiles. Though i doubt this has been the only major change to fishing.

I tried to search that statement, but couldn't find it. Source/link would be great, if anyone finds it.
