I'm not too worried anymore about this actually. The Fisher class is under the list of classes on the main site, and they've announced that fishers will have their own gathering log. The Fisher icon missing from the gathering icons was one of the concerns, but if that's being addressed, I'm sure it's simply because the class is so unfinished that they haven't even put the icons in game yet.

It would also explain why they're not giving it to us in phase 3.

I noticed it was missing also, but since it made it to the classes list on the site, I'm a lot less worried about that. STILL worried though that the class will be all about preparation before fishing (bait, rod, location, weather, moon phase, whatever), and not at all about the fishing itself (potentially full-out 'may as well go AFK' crap).

I wonder what they mean by they're trying to minimize focus on the "value" of individual fish. I hope at least they're still tied to recipes, and it's not just "Hey guys, I totally just caught a 32cm crawfish!" *clicks discard to free up the inventory slot*

Really disappointing news. It was a GATHERING CLASS. You can't just take that back and say "oh well now it's about the experience of bonding with nature. The point was to GATHER ITEMS to MAKE GIL.

Not every fish needs to be a bank breaker. Ash branches don't sell for millions on Botanist. That's fine. That's not what we're asking for. SOME fish need to be rare and valuable. OR be used in rare and valuable recipes.

You can't just say "you're a gathering job, but you don't gather anything that makes real money."

I don't know if the video lagged or what, but he didn't get to finish answering the question about fishing.

From what he did say, it does sound like they are making it into more of a mini-game.

It was patchy but the main, and only, emphasis seemed to be on fighting RMTs...I didnt hear anything new about FSH at all...

[Punainen]

They still told us nothing about how Fishing will really work! And wtf, why design a class for the express purpose of being not RMT friendly?? AAAARGH!!! So... Confirmed? Fisher = Useless hobby class?
