I can relax and chat while sitting around town just fine thank you.
Exactly! This is exactly how it feels.

And regarding the 'wait and see' tactic, it helps nothing. The little signs they've already have given us points to not boding well for fishing. And I've learned from the Tanaka days not to assume anything is being done unless otherwise stated. They need to realize our concern and show us in detail what they have planned so that we can give the appropriate feedback or else I'm pretty sure were going to be stuck with a lame fishing system. I'm starting to really hate the simplifications this games starting to go through with gathering and battling in general seen so far through the videos. I understand the need for easy of use but there has to be some sort of challenge too.
