I'm sure the system won't suck... but in any MMO (or any endeavor of any kind) the benefit must equal the cost. If we are to spend time doing something, there must be a reward. If the reward is "catching my biggest fish I've ever caught," I'd rather go down to the pond in real life... If it's getting new gear and other in game items, then sure it will be great.

That's a good point, and I completely agree with you. My in-game time is limited, and I like to use it making progress toward my game goals.

By the end of FF14 the only thing me and possible RMT people fishing for "to price gouge" was materia catalysts everything else lost value because of levequest. The xp and recipe item payout just gave things away. There has to be something outside the spiritbond materia economy trap for DoL and DoH. If items have lots of slots i see that trap in ARR.

These types of professions are never going to be real classes if they just involve clicking harvesting points or the equivalent for fishing. There's just no depth. They could add this by adding things like exploring seas/lakes/rivers for fish stocks, surveying and maintenance of ecosystems, fish farming, support for cooperative fishing operations and of course having an economy that necessitates the profession in the first place.

I really really don't think that this is good design philosophy. The process must be fun itself, otherwise this is just a very menial, repetitive job.

It makes no sense for fishing to reward players with gear and other miscellaneous items anyway. There should be more to the game than chasing after equipment.

And conjurers should need to learn the pathophysiology of penetration wounds and the appropriate invasive and pharmacological management! There's just no depth in simply pressing a cure spell!

It sounds like someone at SE has a vision of something new and exciting for fishing. I'll be looking forward to trying out a new fishing system more than I was looking forward to continuing fishing with the old system. Maybe it will be inspired.

I know it's not exhaustive and that the recipes can always change up until release, but XIVDB.com does not list any recipes for making crystals/shards from fish anymore. With that along with everything yoshi has said about fishing, I'm going to assume they wont be included in any alchemy recipes. So far culinarian is the only one I see recipes that include fish. Even then there aren't that many. Maybe around 10 out of over 100 listed. Even if there are RMT bots fishing for stuff to sell, I don't see enough people buying it up to be profitable. I can still see a bunch of little lala's in lvl 1 gear around camps all with names like "l;kajsdfhajk akjdlkjadlk" doing leves repeatedly.

From my understanding, crafting and gathering does not start until level 10 or so, so that is a deterrant, plus, in FFXI all the fish were used for was for cooking recipes and I sold my nebimonites from ferry trips all day long to buy my armor. I loved fishing off of the ferry. It reminded me of charter boat deep sea fishing in rl. Plus bots have a difficult time getting back on the ferry every fifteen minutes, and that is where you could really catch the monster fish. Maybe it is just the translation, but it does not seem from what he said that Yoshi intends to make fishing unprofitable. It seems that he did not want to stick it in the 3.0 beta because the developers wanted to implement some new ideas, like fishing from different sources (watch, one day a lava trout will sell for 500,000 gil)

Necro Warning: This post occurred more than thirty days after the prior, and may be a necropost.

I needed fish in Alchemy during phase 3. I was low level (under 15).

I'm not sure I would fish if there was no reward. I would think you could fish up armor, like boots and gloves.
I remember fishing up mobs too. They did that for the botters, but it was fun to get the surprise.

And now that you have to change weapon to craft, its not so much fun changing back and forth while waiting for DD.

I guarantee that if you can't make decent money from it, it will not be popular. This really bums me out. I loved fishing in FFXI before they added in the mini-game. It was a really relaxing activity and you could flip some coin from doing it. Fishing was my favorite craft in WoW too. I hope that there will still be a way of making some decent money from it in ARR.

My job can be fun once in a while because of some of the people I work with, but if they stop paying me, I won't be showing up for work anymore. How many of you will still spend hours leveling your fishing if you will not make any money?

If gil and items not in fishing, won't do it. There is already too many craft jobs that will be required to support each other.

Do you have a link to a post from the developers that says "fishing won't make you profit"?

I'm not sure how my post was interpreted as having anything to do with making money, but I was strictly commenting on whether or not the fishing mechanics (i.e. mini game) would be fun. If your definition of fun in a video game consists of a gil vs. time ratio, that's great and I'm sure that many people agree with you, but it's not what I was talking about. Also, the conditions of your real life employment are irrelevant to this discussion, as this discussion is about a video game as opposed to the requirements for food and shelter.

That's definitely interesting info there Gnu.

Hmmm, if we're going to fish out of sand and clouds, they should also include Lava Fishing too. Smiley: tongue

But I'm guessing all the non-water spots have to use Discover Spot (I, II, III) to find.

I never got into fishing in FFXI, but I really never got into any gathering in that game either.

I always assumed fishing was something to do while waiting for the Airship or for a tele or whatever.

It will be interesting to see how and when people fish in ARR comparatively speaking.

Good point. I don't have any other incentive to open my 3DS and play Metroid other than for pure nostalgia and enjoyment, but I do it anyway... Maybe I am wrong, but back in the 80's, that's how we played video games.

I hover over recipes, move the mouse down to culinarian, click in culinarian, and it gives me a little box that says loading and it never actually loads (i realistically only waited 15 minutes). I also tried it with items and skills and same thing...

No but I probably have something enabled that is causing the problem. If it works for you then it probably works for everyone but me.
