    Sorry for leavin you guys to stew over the thread for a few hours, had to sneak in 3hours sleep before an appointment... the joys!

    Ahem.

    I'm really stoked that I'm not the only one that is worried by this system. To those that would just like to troll the thread and post things along the lines of "Hurr u mad!" I suggest you find another thread. (And yes, I did read the question and answer from the live letter for those who are asking what information I have to base my rage on rofl, hell it's in the OP! If you read beyond the title you'd see it too .)

    I'm praying we'll be pleasantly surprised with fishing in 2.0 but from what it sounds like from both the translation from the live letter it seems like it's going to be a monotonous point and wait fest><. Easy doesn't instantly = fun ;~;

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means

    A bunch of my friends have been reassuring me, saying that no Japanese developer would ever put in a system like this, no game developer would put in a system like this due to how easy it would be to bot, that "actions" probably refers to gathering skills, that the combination of knowing what rod and what bait to use will be the complexity, but I'm still really worried. I'd love to have a dev response in here instead of having to wait till bloody april to get my answer.

    Agreed >_<. It would be awesome to get a little heads up saying "Hey, please don't sweat it! You'll get to do ______ to catch your fish!"

    I would be so happy if we did have to fight the fish and I am hoping that the 'no actions' was a funky translation lol.
    No actions = do nothing?
    or
    No actions = no abilities like btn/min?
