Fishing in ARR

[Nix]

Q10: How will fishing work in FFXIV: A Realm Reborn?

A10: It's probably best if you actually experience it in-game, so let me just go over the broad concept. In ARR, you will first need to walk near a water spot, select a fishing pole that matches the type of water, and then select the bait. There will be no actions during the fishing process. Instead, we will be providing a variety of fish-types depending on the area.

I can't help but be worried by this, I was hoping for some kind of minigame but from the sounds of this it looks like it's going to be a point-and-wait deelio D:

I am hoping that my understanding of this statement was wrong ><, I'm not usually one to grumble but taking the mini-game aspect out of fishing kinda feels odd, like hitting 'fish' and just waiting would get kinda old... it'd be easy, but old D:


Please, if you're reading this dear Reps; bribe Yoshi with red bull and shiny new accessories until he rethinks this course of action. ><
