Fishing in ARR

[Hestern_Nestern]

Not to change gears too heavily here, but I have a friend who is considering moving to the Sargatanas server, and so I am considering moving there as well (I am also considering Balmung), but I was wondering if you would be staying in Sargatanas, Coram, provided that the Fishing class works out for you?

I am similarly curious if there is any sort of RPing community on Sargatanas, as that is the main reason I am considering Balmung (if anyone has any answers, much appreciated).

And in the interest of not derailing this thread...HERE'S A FISH:

Yep, Sargatanas (Lindblum) is my home. My shell has decided to just stay put considering its physical location, so I'll remaim a Sargatanasian. Really not sure if we have much of an RP population though...

That joke is awful xD

Thank you! I tried really hard to make that as awful a joke as it could be! But hey, I got you to smile! EH! EH!!!! Did I...? Lol.

Ah, so you had the good taste to choose Lindblum (FFIX FTW). I approve. And if I visit or move to Sargatanas, it would be cool to see you casting a line and what-not! It would be funny if they added you as an NPC saying something like, "So I just cast the line and that's it...nothing else involved?" he he he. Um. Yeah. Anyway.

Me and Bad Joke Eel are still /cheering you on! ^_^~

But really...this beta weekend was f---------FUN!!!~~~

With E3 going on from 14 to the console wars, games and then the beta starting up and all the latest news for 14.. it's been a fun, long few weeks and at the same time annoying. Annoyed is a good word here for the latest fishing news me thinks.

.. lol.. I don't even know what to type here anymore. It's a head scratch-er for sure and with how wonderful 2.0/beta is looking it's just a shame to do this to fishing. There is so much you could do with fishing here Yoshi I think you are just missing out on a huge opportunity.

The theme for 2.0 relaunch to me has been go big or go home and for the most part you guys have done it up big time.

I can't possibly believe that with all the player feedback you take into account how this could be the prevailing sentiment that this is what we wanted.. I just don't get it man.

If it turns out to be garbage I will not let your lack of vision for fishing be my 2.0 downfall. Gonna play the game and enjoy it completely. I like fishing but it's not the only reason I play. Way too much upside to ARR to just say f it.

I will like others wait for the last phase to make final judgement but it's not hard to make strong negative assumptions given what you have said and at the same time what you have not said. I'm actually happy now I didn't finish up that little bit I had left for the golden rod. Seems like it will be a good fly swatter at best.

What a waste of all the new streams, lakes, ponds, oceans it will be. Even the fish are upset.. I think I see one making a thread now.

First though I still have to find a new ls/fc and a new server now. Might even just start a new character. Where to go...

This is indeed terrible news, the idea that the fishing mini game wont exist is just country productive to what any form of fish is in any video game.

Lindblum/Sargatanas FTW!

I second this. p.o

Anyway, I'm pretty annoyed about not getting a chance to even look at fishing. The game is great, given everything I've seen so far (didn't try gathering), but I'm constantly reminded that FSH is among the few things I have left to level on my main.

I'm curious, though: are we going to be stuck in this "FSH isn't good enough!" mindset after we finally see it, or will we be relieved when we find it isn't as bad as anticipated? Even though it's supposed to be fairly relaxing, I just hope it's engaging enough for me to feel locked into leveling it.

you guys are taking the fishing class too srs :/ If japan/NA are clamoring this much about making a better DoL class, then I bet yoshi will address it. I'm pretty sure he already knows and could be doing something in the works, think people need to chill lol
