    I miss the old "chance style" fishing.

    I used to play a long time ago, and recently came back after getting the game for PS2.


    I used to love being able to cast, get up off my chair, do some jumping jacks, run around the house, go to the store, then come back and see if my character randomly got a fish or not. Now I can't even answer the phone, even if the answering machine is all like "Oh no help I'm on fire this is your friend I'm on fire I need you to call 911!", I gotta be all like "Can't dude, sorry, I'm trying to break my fishing rod."...


    You guys know what I mean?

    Yea, I seriously lost like 3 or 4 sabiki rigs starting off cause I didn't even understand it, the one before was easier, but I think this one gets you more fish.

      I'm totally in love with the new fishing system.

      The old one was nothing more than a simple buttom pressing. It was easy, yes. But it wasn't something that should require human to do. Fishing today is a lot more fun. There's more interaction and some skill involved.

          Yea I guess theres more action, harder to talk to LS while your fishing, But what skill does it involve? you push the button opposite of the direction your character is tugging =P

            Try catch a blacksole, emperor fish, ryugu titan or lik.

            ironicly, you can also try little goldfish. In Al Zahbi's moat with insect paste.

              I suddenly want to take up fishing.

              Even if it is simplistic like Harvest Moon: Back to Nature's version of fishing, thats certainly a change from the usual, "Push a button... You succeed!... Gain a level..." type crafting.

                Yeah but unless I'm doing it for no reason, you gotta push "up" when you aren't going in any direction so the fish doesn't regen HP (or whatever that meter is for)...


                Well you try doing that with a PS2 controller. Or at least mine. Or any PS2 controller, but with my thumb. I don't know, after sitting there for so long and laying upside down (I end up there eventually), it's kind of hard to do.


                I guess.


                I'd much rather have the no-skill way, and save my skill for killing monsters.


                I mean I can't even cast my fish until I finish this, because then I'd have to grab my controller mid-post and then when I get back I'll forget what I was talking about and start talking about something totally not related to FFXI thinking I'm on another message board.


                So did you guys hear about what happened--- oh see I did it.


                I'm in so much pain, I hate my life.

                  Re: I miss the old "chance style" fishing.

                  I love the new fishing system. Back in 2003-2004ish when I was first playing, I tried my hand at fishing a few times and seriously thought about ending it all. Sure, I got a lot of reading and TV watching in, but I didn't really feel like I was playing.

                  Now I love fishing. I can still read while I do it, and I feel much more involved with my fishing efforts. It's gewd.^^

                    you don't have to press anything in the neutral position.

                      Boy am I glad to hear that. Thank for making it a little less annoying.




                      And Aelathir, the thing is I'm not trying to fish/read. I'm trying to fish/play another game on my laptop.

                      XD

                        if you're trying to multi tasking I can see how the current fishing is more... um.. challenging I guess
                        I did some fishing on 2 accounts at the same time a while ago. Easy fish like moat carps I had no problem. Anything harder than that it got too much for me.

                          Oh man I got an idea for a contest:

                          Person who can fish with the most characters, using the following:

                          PS2 controller
                          Xbox 360 controller
                          Keyboard
                          Guitar Hero guitar controller
                          Real fishing rod

                            Man, I don't even own a Guitar Hero controller.

                            Enough off-topicness from me though.

                              I think both ways had their good and bad points to them.

                              With the old way, I could do a quick tidy up after my youngest hurricane tore through the room while I caught a fish, grab a drink, take a potty break, whatever. The downside was guessing if you had a fish or an item.

                              With the new way, I enjoy the fact it is a more interactive type of fishing. With a number of fish, you have to be quick with the controller or keyboard to reel in the fish. On the downside, I lost 3 PS2 controllers to the new fishing system in catching the more active fish. If you're using a PS2 controller for fishing, I highly suggest switching to the keyboard for fishing. I had one L3 button fall right off... er... snap off, one just stopped working all together and the third screwed up how I would run.
