If they make it really relaxing, not an action minigame, but an actual minigame, that'd still be fun. I mean they could manage it in zelda to make it fun, and you could just haul back the pacing. On a roleplaying server it's all good. I liked fishing in world of warcraft, but it was simple and boring.
This should be easy to make enjoyable. Even mouse based. |

Im personally all for it. Ive played Fishing in most MMOs and typically they werent profitable. It was always a means of doing "something" while I chatted or waited for a group. For me I will wxplore other avenues to make money, but Ill still play the hell outta fishing.

As cooking is always something i do in any game i'm involved I'll fish. Â This just makes it a bit easier for me to relax and gather things i need for cooking. Â I understand what they are trying to do. Â In a lot of cases farming RMT's dont go the added step of selling to other players. Â They farm/gather mass quantities of easy gather or farm stuff and sell it to vendors for quick turnover of gil. Â I know this, because i've had characters hacked and had them returned. Â (This was in wow) Â When the character was returned to me they mailed me everything that had been sold off the character for the time she'd been hacked...Lets just say it took me roughly 4 days to clean out my mailbox -_-
So, yes this means your fish are not going to have a high vendor value, but to other players that will use them for cooking and are not inclined to do the fishing themselves (not everyone enjoys that sort of thing no matter how easy it may be), they will still have value. I have mixed feelings about loosing the minigame...sometimes thats fun, sometimes i just need mats for cooking and would rather be doing other things (EXPLORE ALL THE THINGS!!!)...so..yah. |

If they are just nuking vendor prices, that's fine... not many people vendor things for profit. It's different than saying the fish wont be valuable and will only have merit to the angler. Sort of like saying "Hey I caught the biggest fish this week according to the Fishermen's guild rankings"... that's disappointing. I mean, it's nice but that shouldn't be the reason to fish. I want some gil!

I'm waiting to see how this will turn out. I admit I'm a bit wary of the news, but there's not much else we can do but wait and see. Being from Limsa, I had/have plans for Kerr to be fairly good at this class. If it turns out to not be enjoyable or profitable, he will still have others to fall back on (armorer/ maybe leather working).

What I take from that interview, is that, because fishing will require so little interaction, fish -prices- won't be crazy, because anyone can head out to the river or lake, relax, and fish up everything they need themselves. Could be wrong, but that's how it sounds to me, at least.

As long as I'm not seeing stupid costs associated with repair as a result of fishing like I do with mining, then I'm fine with fishing not being so valuable. It'll be a distraction and any distraction is a good distraction as it pads out the game.
I just hope that in the long run it won't be an expense, because crafting sure felt that way early on in V1. |

Personally i don't really care whether fishing is profitable or not, its part of my characters upbringing so it will stick to him. As for ooc reason i see it as a way to pass time. Standing fishing while chatting with some friends in a linkshell or free company usually works.
